A Loongbuy order, from storefront to Asia-Pacific doorstep
On Asia-Pacific corridors the journey has one extra consideration that other routes do not: which lane the parcel eventually takes affects both the cost and how predictably it clears at the far end. This page therefore treats lane selection as a first-class stage rather than a footnote. Everything else follows the familiar shape — buy, receive, photograph, hold, dispatch.
← Back to overviewFive stages, lane included
Buy, receive, photograph, hold, then dispatch on a corridor that suits the parcel. The lane decision is the one that separates a cheap order from a well-planned one.

Timings below are Loongbuy's published figures. Your order page is the record that counts.

Four moves take a row to a paid Loongbuy order.
Links from Taobao, Weidian, 1688 and JD work, as does a name search.
Size, colour and quantity are fixed here — copy them from the row.

Condensed from Loongbuy's published flow. Your account and Loongbuy's notices govern.
Warehouse, with a corridor in mind
Two days from dispatch to warehouse scan, one more to inspection. After that the goods wait free of charge on your warehouse page, which is what allows a corridor shipment to be planned rather than rushed.
Scanned against your account before unpacking begins.
Goods are checked against the pattern recorded for the listing, then photographed.
Long enough to wait for a preferable lane rather than take the first.
Contents and timing are chosen by you.
Choosing the corridor
Three moves, and the lane is the one that matters.
- 1. Compare lanes
Two lanes to nearby countries can differ noticeably in price and clearance reliability.
- 2. Consolidate first
One parcel on a good lane beats three on whatever was available.
- 3. Declare and pay
Declare what you like; the corridor prices on volumetric weight.
- 4. Track through clearance
Customs sits outside the corridor transit estimate entirely.
Submission triggers packing and handover; tracking then appears on your parcel page. Freight is set by measured weight and the lane you picked, so the final figure can differ a little from the estimate — the difference is applied to your balance.
