Every field on the form, and who fills it

The first row is the one that decides the rest

Product link and product name, side by side, both required. If the link is from a platform the site reads automatically, the name arrives with it and you are editing rather than composing.

The name field is capped at one hundred characters, which is shorter than most Chinese listing titles. When it is filled for you it will often arrive truncated. Keep the product link intact and check that the name still identifies the intended item. Record the exact colour, size and listing option separately rather than assuming a shortened title contains them.

Left column is money, right column is identity

The form splits cleanly. Everything on the left describes what the item costs and what variant you want. Everything on the right describes which item it is and how many.

Three fields on the left are starred and two are not. The two unstarred ones are where first orders go wrong most often, because they are the only place to say which colour, which size, and anything unusual about the purchase. Leaving them blank on a listing with variants creates ambiguity. Confirm those choices before submitting.

The tracking number is the only proof the parcel is yours

On the forwarding side the form is shorter and the stakes on one field are much higher. When you ship to the warehouse yourself, the agent has no order record to match your box against. The carrier tracking number is the link between a box on a shelf and an account.

Each tracking number you add becomes one order identifier. The team sorts, photographs and stores against that identifier, and a single box holding several large items may be split into several of them.

Two consequences follow. Enter it exactly, and do not give it to anybody else. The operator's own instruction not to share it with anybody sits in the tips box reproduced on checks worth doing.

Where the number comes from, and where it goes

Two fields, two different sources. The tracking number comes from whoever sent the parcel; the official hint on that field says so explicitly. The declared value comes from you, or from the agent if you say nothing.

The declared value field is labelled customs value and it is denominated in dollars, regardless of what you paid the seller in. This is the one field on either form where being casual has consequences outside the agent system: it is what a customs officer reads.

Checking a number before you hand it over

The agent publishes a standalone tracking lookup that works without an account. Paste the waybill number in, and you will know whether it resolves before you commit it to a forwarding order.

This is a five second habit that prevents a slow, confusing failure. A mistyped number does not produce an error when you submit the forwarding order. It produces a parcel that arrives at the warehouse and cannot be matched to you.
