BaseTao suits spreadsheet shoppers who need one warehouse flow for both agent-purchased orders and self-purchased parcels. Ship for Me, 120-day storage and a QC-photo workflow are especially useful when you are collecting items from several sellers before one international shipment.
BaseTao is a shopping agent and parcel-forwarding service that runs buying and shipping through one warehouse workflow. Buy for Me covers original marketplace links the agent purchases for you; Ship for Me covers parcels you have already paid a Chinese seller and only need inspected, photographed, consolidated and forwarded. Published policies list 120 days of free storage, free QC photos and a CNY 1.50 measurement service.

About BaseTao
BaseTao is built around two routes into one warehouse: Buy for Me for items you want the agent to purchase, and Ship for Me for parcels you bought yourself from a Chinese seller. Either way the warehouse logs arrival, uploads QC photos, lets you gather purchases from separate sellers and prepares the final international parcel. The 120-day storage window gives a spreadsheet buyer room to wait for several purchases before deciding how to ship them, and a measurement service is available when labelled sizing is not enough.| What works well |

What makes BaseTao different?
Most agent questions come down to how a service handles the two halves of a haul: buying and forwarding. BaseTao keeps both in one warehouse stage, so Buy for Me orders and Ship for Me parcels are inspected, stored, consolidated and shipped through the same workflow. For shoppers who mix agent-purchased items with parcels they bought directly, that removes the need to manage two warehouses and two sets of arrival notices.QC and product assessment
Use the spreadsheet to locate the original listing, then use warehouse QC to check visible colour, damage, stains and labelled size or style. If fit matters, request the measurement service rather than assuming photos prove real dimensions. Actual measurements, colour variation and electronics functionality fall outside standard inspection, so ask before the storage window runs out.Shipping, storage and insurance
The 120-day storage period is the tool that makes multi-seller hauls workable: parcels can wait while you decide whether to consolidate or split. Compare routes after packing, because some lines bill the greater of actual or volumetric weight and availability differs by destination. Read the route and insurance terms before paying; coverage, delivery estimates and customs outcomes vary and cannot be promised in advance.What a BaseTao Spreadsheet is for
A spreadsheet is a research and link-discovery tool, not a substitute for the seller page or final checkout. Open the original listing, confirm the exact variant and seller information, then submit it to BaseTao. Check item price, domestic delivery, optional warehouse services, the international quote, insurance and payment fees separately, and treat the order page and packed-parcel quote as the current source of truth.How to use BaseTao
Step 1 — Start with a traceable listing
Use the spreadsheet to find an original marketplace link, open it and confirm the seller, variant, size, colour and current listing details. Save that source link in your order record so warehouse photos can be compared with what was actually advertised.
Step 2 — Choose Buy for Me or Ship for Me
Paste the original listing into BaseTao when you want it to buy the item. If you have already paid the seller, submit Ship for Me with the domestic tracking number so the parcel is expected at the warehouse.
Step 3 — Assess the warehouse arrival
Review QC photos as soon as the item arrives and check visible condition against the original listing. Request the measurement service when sizing matters, and raise return or exchange questions early, because seller approval and timing control the outcome.
Step 4 — Consolidate when you are ready to ship
Use the 120-day storage period to collect orders from different sellers. Once the final parcel is packed, compare eligible routes, packaging and insurance terms for your destination, then submit international shipping when the quote fits your plan.
