For international watch enthusiasts, accessing the unique and often more affordable timepieces available on Chinese platforms like Weidian can be a challenge due to language barriers and shipping restrictions. This is where a reliable Chinese proxy and purchasing agent
To ensure a smooth purchasing journey, you'll need to have a few things ready:
For a comprehensive overview of various Oris models available through agents, including reference numbers, estimated Weidian prices, and seller notes, we recommend consulting this external product spreadsheet: Oris Watch Collection & Market Analysis. This resource can significantly aid your decision-making process.
While Oopbuy has a built-in product search, it's often more effective to find items directly on Weidian. Use the platform's image search or keyword search (e.g., "Oris 潜水表" for dive watches). Once you find the exact watch, copy its full URL from your browser's address bar. Pay close attention to seller reputation, product photos, and descriptions.
Log into your Oopbuy account. Locate the "Order" or "Submit Link" section. Paste the Weidian product URL into the designated field. The system will automatically fetch product details. Here, you must carefully specify all options: model, color, size (if applicable), and any customization. In the notes section, provide clear instructions, such as "Please verify serial number and ensure all original boxes and papers are included." Enter the quantity and submit the order for a price check.
Oopbuy's team will calculate the total cost, which includes the product price, domestic Chinese shipping (to their warehouse), and their service fee. You will then receive an invoice. Review all details meticulously before proceeding to pay through their secure gateway. Once payment is confirmed, Oopbuy's agents will proceed to purchase the watch from the Weidian seller on your behalf.
This is a key advantage of using a proxy. Once the seller ships the watch to Oopbuy's domestic warehouse, you can request Quality Check (QC) photos. Oopbuy will provide high-resolution images of the actual watch you purchased, allowing you to inspect for any defects, verify the model, and ensure it matches the seller's description. Only after you approve the QC photos will the item be kept in storage.
After QC approval, navigate to the "My Warehouse" section. Select your Oris watch parcel and choose your preferred international shipping method (e.g., DHL, FedEx, EMS). Declare the parcel value accurately for customs. Pay the final shipping fee, which is calculated based on weight, dimensions, and destination. Oopbuy will then professionally pack your watch, handle the export paperwork, and provide you with a tracking number. Monitor your shipment until it arrives safely at your doorstep.
