Step 1: Find Jacques Marie Mage Listings on Weidian
Weidian is a treasure trove of independent sellers offering Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) sunglasses, often at prices lower than retail. To streamline your search:
- Use keywords like "Jacques Marie Mage代购" (JMM proxy) or "JMM墨镜" (JMM sunglasses) on Weidian’s search bar.
- Alternatively, consult aggregated lists such as the crowdsourced spreadsheet, which compiles links to popular JMM resellers, updated prices, and status reports.
- Look for terms like "blemished stock" (轻微瑕疵) or "parallel import" (平行进口) for potential discounts.
Step 2: Register and Navigate Hoobuy
Since Weidian sellers usually don’t ship overseas, you’ll need Hoobuy as an intermediary:
- Sign up on Hoobuy’s website/app using an email or social account.
- Enable their "Expert Service" for complicated purchases—ideal for verifying JMM authenticity.
- Use Hoobuy’s "One-Click Order" feature by pasting the Weidian product URL or the spreadsheet links into their search bar.
Pro Tip: Request additional photos via Hoobuy’s customer service to check for defects before purchasing.
Step 3: Secure Payment and Shipping
Hoobuy accepts multiple payment methods (PayPal, credit cards, or Wise). After placing your order:
- Hoobuy buys the item first and stores it in their warehouse (associated fees: ~5% service charge + domestic China shipping).
- Once received, they’ll share QC photos. Approve the product before proceeding.
For shipping, select from options like DHL or FedEx. Consolidate multiple orders to save costs, and declare a lower value if possible (to reduce import taxes). Estimated delivery: 10–20 days globally.
