Detailed Steps for Beginners Preparing for Overseas Shopping

1.1 Choose Websites that Support Direct Shipping and Alipay Payment

It is recommended to select websites that support direct shipping and Alipay payment (mostly UK-based). This way, you don't need to handle credit card arrangements or register with a forwarding service.

1.2 Prepare for Overseas Shopping Websites

If you want access to more overseas shopping sites (like the official websites of major US brands), be sure to make the necessary preparations.

2. Credit Cards for Beginners

2.1 Mainstream Credit Cards

MasterCard, Visa, and American Express are the most commonly accepted dual-currency credit cards. You can apply for these cards through major banks' mobile apps or official WeChat accounts.

3. Forwarding Services for Beginners

3.1 Choose a Forwarding Service

On the Bychic21 homepage, select JiaHong Logistics. No registration is required, and you can earn rebates. JiaHong Logistics supports forwarding from most countries where online shopping sites are located, such as the US, Japan, UK, Germany, France, and Italy. Choosing other forwarding services may not offer rebates, and you’ll need to find a forwarding company that matches the shipping country of the online shopping site.

3.2 Forwarding Process

When placing an order on the brand's official website, enter the forwarding address provided by the forwarding company. Once the product arrives at the forwarding address, submit your order, enter your domestic address, pay for shipping, and the forwarding company will ship it to you in China.

3.3 Uploading Your ID Photo

Most forwarding companies require you to upload an ID photo. JiaHong Logistics ensures strict protection of customer privacy. If you are still concerned, you can add a watermark labeled "For Customs Clearance Only" to protect your information.

4. Email Accounts for Beginners

4.1 Recommended Email Providers

It's not recommended to use QQ Mail. Instead, use Outlook, 163, or Gmail addresses for your account registration, as they are better suited for receiving promotional information.

4.2 Dedicated Email Account

Create a dedicated email account just for your overseas shopping, separate from your work and personal emails, to avoid confusion.

5. Cashback for Beginners

5.1 Visit the Website

Use your computer browser to visit the Bychic21 website.

5.2 Register and Use Cashback

Register for an account on the Bychic21 cashback platform to enjoy rebate discounts.

6. Translation Tools for Beginners

6.1 Use Translation Tools

If you're not confident in your English, you can use the built-in translation features of browsers like UC, Google, QQ, or 360 to translate English web pages. This will help you browse products and place orders more easily. (Provide the locations of translation settings for each browser.)

7. Registering on Overseas Shopping Websites

7.1 Register in Advance

Before you start shopping, register an account on the website you plan to shop from. Fill in your shipping address and billing address in advance.

8. Tools for Bypassing Internet Restrictions

8.1 Use VPN Tools

If you encounter "access restricted" messages, you can use tools like "FanQiang" or "KE Learning VPN" to bypass these restrictions.

8.2 Get Help

For assistance, send an email to contact@bychic21.com to learn how to use these tools.

9. Do Your Homework Before Placing an Order

9.1 Research

Search for tutorials in the Bychic21 community to learn how to register and place orders on different shopping websites, ensuring a smooth purchasing process.

10. Start Shopping

10.1 Customs Clearance

All imported goods must go through customs clearance in China, and this process can take varying amounts of time.

10.2 Domestic Shipping

Once cleared by customs, domestic shipping typically takes about 3-5 days.

10.3 Wait for Delivery

Be patient while waiting for your package to be delivered to your doorstep by a domestic courier.
