Verdict: Boonbuy is a strong pick if you want to pay little: no commission (0%), 90 days of free storage, free QC photos and a big 40% off coupon on your first shipment. The downsides: the 40% coupon expires quickly, and you always need to compare shipping prices in the estimator.

What is Boonbuy?

Boonbuy (boonbuy.com) is a shopping agent for buyers outside China. You paste a link from Taobao, Weidian, 1688 and Tmall, the agent buys the product, receives it at its warehouse, takes QC photos and ships one parcel to your address. It has Android and iOS apps and a Chrome extension (BoonBuy Assistant) with image search.

Pros

  • 0% commission on orders: you pay for items, not for the middleman.
  • 40% off shipping coupon with no minimum for new accounts + ~18 fixed-amount coupons.
  • 90 days of free storage (up to 120 days), plenty of time to build a haul.
  • Free QC photos on every order.
  • Mobile apps and a browser extension with image search.

Cons

  • The 40% off coupon only lasts about 30 days after sign-up.
  • No QC video as standard (photos only).
  • Storage becomes paid after 90 days.
  • You need to compare shipping lines yourself, since volumetric weight drives the price.

Is Boonbuy safe?

Boonbuy works like other big agents: you see QC photos of your items before anything ships. Good habits are the same everywhere: start with a smaller order, look closely at QC, keep payment confirmations and don't ship until you're happy with your items.

Who is Boonbuy for?

For buyers who want low costs and ship bigger parcels: zero commission and long free storage favour building a haul, and the 40% coupon does the heavy lifting on the first shipment. Torn between agents? See Boonbuy vs Kakobuy vs USfans.
