Hey, to be honest, I’ve been totally hooked on shopping on Litbuy lately. Last week, my friend came back from New York and told me that a lot of influencers on Instagram are using this platform now. I didn’t really believe her at first. But then I tried it myself, and wow, the experience is totally different from before.

First off, last month I bought a few pieces of Ami clothing on Litbuy. I didn’t have high hopes at first—you know how it is with overseas shopping. After waiting over two weeks, I almost didn’t recognize the package when it arrived. The packaging was way more thoughtful than I expected; it wasn’t just thrown into a plastic bag and sent off. But honestly, the shipping costs still sting a bit, especially when buying small items.

I have a habit of checking other people’s reviews before I buy anything. Litbuy does a decent job in this regard—there are plenty of customer photos, unlike some platforms that are full of nothing but official images. But sometimes, when you read those reviews, they feel like they’ve been fabricated; the wording is almost identical. I have to vent about this—could we get some genuine user experiences here?

Speaking of searching for items, I’ve recently found that using Litbuy spreadsheet is so much more convenient. Before, I had to scroll through page after page, but now I can just filter directly in the spreadsheet—price range, brand, size—it’s all clear at a glance. It saves a lot of time, especially when looking for specific brands like Litbuy Ami.

I have to say, though, Litbuy’s exchange rates can be really confusing at times. Last week, I spotted a jacket from Acne Studios—the price was listed in US dollars, but when I converted it to RMB, something just didn’t feel right. It turned out they use an exchange rate that’s just a tiny bit higher than what banks offer. It’s not a huge difference, but it really adds up if you buy a lot.

As for shipping, Litbuy covers quite a few countries. Major destinations like the US, Canada, and Australia are no problem, and they deliver to most European countries as well. But some smaller countries aren’t supported—I have a friend in Iceland who wanted to buy something but found out they don’t ship there. I hope they’ll improve this in the future.

My favorite section is actually the Ami hoodies section on Litbuy. I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but some brands are really expensive in China, yet their prices are much more reasonable on overseas platforms. Ami is exactly like that—it has great designs, good quality, and, most importantly, the prices aren’t outrageous.

But not everything is worth buying. Some so-called “designer replicas” are actually knockoffs, and the quality varies wildly. I once bought a jacket that was supposedly from a niche brand, but when it arrived, there were enough loose threads to knit a sweater. So now I’ve learned my lesson and only buy items with real-life photos and plenty of reviews.

Speaking of reviews, I’ve noticed some buyer comments on LitBuy are particularly entertaining. One guy bought a pair of shoes and wrote, “The soles are so hard they could double as bricks,” accompanied by a photo of him crushing walnuts with them at home. Even though he was complaining, it somehow felt surprisingly authentic. It’s way more interesting than those cookie-cutter “great, very satisfied” reviews.

Oh, and if you guys use Litbuy too, I highly recommend trying out their spreadsheet feature. I’m not advertising—it’s genuinely useful. Especially when you want to compare different products, the spreadsheet format is way more intuitive than browsing through web pages. Plus, you can export the data to make your own shopping list.

Finally, a little story: Last week I saw a really nice jacket on Litbuy. I hesitated for two days before buying it, and it ended up selling out. That feeling is just like missing out on something important. So now I’ve learned my lesson: if I see something I like, I just go for it—after all, the return policy’s got my back.

All in all, Litbuy is a real treat when you use it right, but it can be pretty frustrating when you don’t. The key is knowing how to pick, how to look, and how to compare. It’s 2026 now, and the way we shop is changing—finding what works best for you is what matters most.
