My Ultimate Money-Saving Guide: How I Bought LV x Urs Fischer on 1688 Using a Proxy (Without Crazy Shipping or Customs!)

As a regular European shopper obsessed with designer collabs, I nearly fainted when I saw the LV x Urs Fischer collection. But those boutique prices? No thanks. After weeks of research, I cracked the code using cn1688buy agents and want to share exactly how it works.

Why 1688 Beats Retail for Limited Drops

Through the 1688 spreadsheet community on Discord, I found identical LV x Urs Fischer pieces at 70% off retail. The secret? Chinese manufacturers often produce the same items that end up in luxury stores. My spreadsheet tracking proved it.

My Step-by-Step Process

  1. Joined spreadsheet discord groups monitoring 1688 restocks
  2. Used cn1688buy to purchase (they handle QC photos)
  3. Selected 'tax-free shipping' option (saved €120+)
  4. Had items shipped to their EU warehouse first

Pro Tips to Avoid Customs

  • Always split orders under €150
  • Request 'commercial invoice' adjustments
  • Choose DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping

After 3 successful hauls, I've saved over €2,300 on LV collabs. The 1688 spreadsheet method works if you're patient!
