My Ultimate Money-Saving Hack: Buying LV x Urs Fischer on 1688 via Proxy (Without Crazy Shipping or Customs!)

As a regular European shopper obsessed with designer collabs, I used to think getting my hands on LV x Urs Fischer pieces meant paying insane resale prices. Then I discovered cn1688buy – and everything changed. Here's my step-by-step guide to scoring these limited-edition pieces for wholesale prices.

Why 1688 Beats Other Platforms

Unlike mainstream marketplaces, 1688.com (Alibaba's B2B platform) offers direct-from-factory prices. But since it's China-facing, you'll need:

  • A reliable 1688 spreadsheet with vetted sellers (I use the SuperBuy Spreadsheet Discord community's constantly updated list)
  • A purchasing agent (I recommend cn1688buy for LV items)

My Customs-Dodging Shipping Strategy

After testing 5 methods, here's what works for EU deliveries:

  1. Triangulation Shipping: Have your agent ship to a UK warehouse first, then to EU
  2. Declare as Samples: Request "commercial samples" labeling with ≤€22 value
  3. Split Shipments: Keep packages under 2kg to avoid scrutiny

Pro Tip: The spreadsheet discord groups share real-time customs success rates for different routes.
