How to Navigate Basetao: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you new to Basetao or looking to enhance your shopping experience? This guide will walk you through the entire process—from discovering products to receiving them at your doorstep. Let’s dive in and explore how to make the most of Basetao, your trusted purchasing service.

1. Finding the Right Items

To get started, you’ll need to locate products through reliable sources:

• Discord: Basetao Discord - Great for discovering new products and finding trusted sellers.

• Telegram: Fashion Finds Telegram - A community for sharing product links and reviews.

• Fashion Reps Subreddit: A hub for comparing products, reviews, and spreadsheets with product links.

Note:
Basetao acts as a purchasing agent, not a direct seller. You'll need to gather product links from external platforms to make your purchase.

2. Using Product Links and Reverse Image Search

Once you’ve found a product link, here’s how to proceed:

• Product Link:
  Paste the link directly into the Basetao search bar to locate the item quickly.

• No Product Link?
  Use the Reverse Image Search feature on Basetao:

  1. Upload a photo of the item you're looking for.

  2. Basetao will display visually similar products, making it easier to find what you need.

3. Understanding Product Details

On the product page, you’ll find important details to help with your decision:

• Size & Color:
  Always check the size guide provided, or leave a note specifying your preferences (e.g., custom measurements).

• Versions/Batches:
  Some products have different batches or versions, which can vary in quality. Compare images on platforms like Yupoo to choose the best batch for your needs.

4. Viewing Quality Control (QC) Photos

Before confirming your purchase, reviewing the QC photos is essential to ensure the item meets your expectations:

• Paste the product link into Basetao to request QC photos.

• Carefully inspect the photos for:

  • Material Quality: Ensure it meets your standards.

  • Stitching & Craftsmanship: Check for flaws or inconsistencies.

  • Design Accuracy: Verify if the design matches your expectations.

5. Calculating Costs

To estimate the total cost of your order:

• Use Basetao’s Cost Estimator Tool. Add items to your cart and review the details:

  • Weight and size of the item.

  • Shipping costs (consider options for cheaper shipping).

Pro Tip:
You can optimize shipping by removing unnecessary packaging (like shoeboxes) to reduce fees.

6. Placing Your Order

Once you're satisfied with the product details, it’s time to place your order:

• Add items to your cart.

• Proceed to checkout and enter your shipping details.

• Choose a payment method:

  • PayPal (if available).

  • Basetao Balance: You can top up your Basetao account to pay directly.

7. Order Processing and Shipping

Once you place the order, it will go through several stages:

• Process Pending: Your order is under review.

• Purchased: An agent buys the product for you.

• Seller Sent: The seller ships the item to Basetao’s warehouse.

• Warehouse Received: The item is delivered to the warehouse, where QC photos are uploaded for your review.

8. Quality Check and Shipment Selection

After the item arrives at the warehouse, follow these steps:

• Review the QC photos to ensure everything looks good.

• Shipping Method: Choose the shipping option that fits your needs:

  • Express Shipping: Faster delivery, but more expensive.

  • Economical Shipping: More affordable but slower delivery.

9. Finalizing the Shipment

Once everything looks good:
