Shopping for luxury brands like Tod’sTaobaoSugarGoo, a trusted Chinese forwarding and purchasing agent, simplifies this process. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to use SugarGoo to buy Tod’s products from Taobao.
Step 1: Finding Tod’s Products on Taobao
Before using SugarGoo, you need to locate the Tod’s item(s) you want on Taobao. Use keywords like "Tod’s loafers" or "Tod’s handbag" in the search bar. Make sure to:
- Check seller ratings and product reviews
- Verify authenticity by examining product descriptions and images
For pre-vetted listings, you can reference product recommendations on Find's Spreadsheet, a helpful resource with verified Taobao luxury listings.

Visit the SugarGoo website
- Navigate to "My Warehouses" to obtain your SugarGoo shipping address (China-based).
- Copy the shipping details provided (including your unique customer ID).
Step 3: Ordering via SugarGoo
Instead of checking out on Taobao directly, you’ll submit the item’s URL through SugarGoo:
- Go to SugarGoo’s "Order for Me" page
- Paste the Taobao product link.
- Specify size, color, and desired QC (quality check) options.
Once SugarGoo confirms availability, pay via PayPal or credit card (including item cost + domestic Chinese shipping to their warehouse).
Step 4: Consolidation & International Shipping
After SugarGoo receives your Tod’s purchase:
- They’ll inspect the item (optional QC photos available for a small fee).
- Repackage to minimize shipping costs.
- Provide multiple shipping options (DHL, EMS, etc.) to your country.
