Step 1: Understanding the OrientDig Platform

OrientDig is not just a simple forwarding service; it's a full-fledged purchasing agent and consolidation platform. It provides users with a personal China-based warehouse address, expert customer service in multiple languages, and value-added services like quality inspection and product photography. This ensures that your desired Salvatore Ferragamo items—be it iconic Vara pumps, elegant silk scarves, or leather belts—are genuine (where sold by authorized Taobao retailers) and in perfect condition before they are shipped internationally.

Step 2: Finding and Verifying Your Desired Items

Begin your journey by browsing Taobao directly or using its English-language counterpart. Use keywords like “萨尔瓦托勒·菲拉格慕” (Salvatore Ferragamo's Chinese name) or specific model numbers. To streamline your search for the best deals and authorized sellers, a highly useful external resource is available: the comprehensive product spreadsheet at findsspreadsheet.com. This independent spreadsheet often lists curated Taobao links, seller ratings, and price comparisons for various luxury brands, including Ferragamo, helping you make an informed decision before proceeding with your agent.

Once you've identified the perfect item, copy the full Taobao product page URL. You will need this for the next step on the OrientDig website.

Step 3: Placing Your Order on OrientDig

Navigate to the OrientDig website and create an account. Locate their “Order for Me” or “Place Order” service page. Here, you will paste the Taobao product link. The system will automatically fetch product details. You must then meticulously specify all options: size, color, quantity, and any special instructions for the seller. Proceed to calculate the total cost, which includes the product price, domestic Chinese shipping to OrientDig's warehouse, and their service fee. Complete the payment using their supported international methods like PayPal or credit card.

Step 4: Warehouse Consolidation and International Shipping

After payment, OrientDig’s team purchases the item on your behalf. Once it arrives at their secure warehouse, they can provide quality check photos upon request—a crucial step for luxury goods. If you are purchasing multiple items from different Taobao stores, you can use their free consolidation service
