This step-by-step tutorial is designed for beginners, guiding you through your entire first purchase on MuleBuy, from registration to shipment.
Step 1: Account Registration
Your journey begins on the MuleBuy homepage. Click on the "Sign Up" or "Register" button typically located in the top-right corner of the site.
Fill in the required information, which usually includes your email address, a password, and sometimes a mobile number for verification. Agree to the terms of service and complete any CAPTCHA challenges. Once submitted, you will likely receive a verification email. Click the link in that email to activate your MuleBuy account.

Step 2: Adding Your Product Link
After logging in, you will be taken to your personal dashboard. The central feature is a large search bar or an "Add Item" button. This is where your shopping starts.
Find the product you want to buy on a Chinese website like Taobao, Tmall, 1688, or Weidian. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Return to your MuleBuy dashboard and paste the complete product link into the search bar. Click "Search" or "Paste Link."

Return to your cart and complete the order. The total amount will be deducted from your newly topped-up balance.

Step 6: Choosing a Shipping Method
After your order is placed and paid for, MuleBuy will purchase the item and have it delivered to their warehouse. Once it arrives, they will take photos of it for your quality check (QC photos).
You will receive a notification to "Submit Shipping" for your stored item. You will need to:
- Go to "My Warehouse."
- Select the items you want to ship together in one parcel.
- Click "Submit Parcel."
- Choose a Shipping Method
- Confirm your final overseas shipping address.
- Pay for the international shipping fee using your account balance.

Step 7: awaits and Delivery
After submitting your parcel and paying the shipping fee, MuleBuy will pack your items, create the international waybill, and hand the package over to the chosen carrier.
You can track your parcel's journey using the tracking number provided in your "My Parcels" section. Be patient, as international shipping can take from a few days to several weeks depending on the method chosen and your location.
