First Haul Guide
Learn beginner-friendly workflows for planning, organizing, and shipping your first spreadsheet haul. Understand tools, links, and QC processes before starting.
Planning Your First Haul
Before placing your first order, spend time researching products, understanding spreadsheet tools, and learning how link converters work. Start with a small test haul (2kg) to understand the workflow without a large commitment. Read the spreadsheet guide and link converter resources to familiarize yourself with the research process.
Organizing Your Research
Use spreadsheet tools to organize your product links by category, price, and size. Create a simple list of items you want to research, then compare them across multiple sources. Note any QC photo references and sizing information before making decisions. This organized approach helps you avoid confusion when your haul grows.
Checking Links Before Ordering
Before placing any order, use the product link checker guide to verify that links are still active. Learn to identify dead links, redirect links, and duplicate links. This step saves time and prevents frustration when items are no longer available.
Understanding QC Before Shipping
QC photos are reference images that help you review items before shipping. Use the QC checker guide to understand what to look for in warehouse photos. Remember that QC references are for reference only and are not a guarantee of quality or consistency.
Shipping Estimates and Planning
Use the shipping calculator guide to understand actual weight vs volumetric weight. Plan your first haul with a small weight tier (2kg) to learn how shipping costs work. Remember that shipping estimates are for planning only and final costs may vary.
