My Ultimate Money-Saving Guide: How I Bought LV x Urs Fischer on 1688 Using a Proxy (Without Crazy Shipping or Customs!)

As a regular European shopper obsessed with designer collabs, I nearly fainted when I saw the LV x Urs Fischer collection. But those boutique prices? No thanks. Here's how I scored my dream piece using cn1688buy and some spreadsheet magic.

Step 1: The 1688 Goldmine

Forget paying retail. On 1688 (China's wholesale platform), I found identical LV x Urs Fischer pieces for 70% less. Pro tip: Use spreadsheet discord groups to crowdsource reliable sellers.

Step 2: Proxy Power

Since 1688 doesn't ship internationally, I used cn1688buy as my proxy. Their consolidation service saved me a fortune - instead of paying $50/package shipping, they combined my LV bag with 3 other orders into one $80 shipment.

Step 3: Customs Hack

To avoid duties:

  1. Request 'Commercial Sample' on customs forms
  2. Keep declared value under $22
  3. Use triangular shipping through Singapore
The spreadsheet community helped me perfect this.
