My Ultimate Taobao Spreadsheet Hack for Designer Sneakers
As a European sneaker enthusiast who recently scored authentic-looking Balenciaga x Adidas sneakers for 70% less than retail, I’m sharing my proven strategy using Taobao and AllChinaBuy that saved me hundreds of euros.
My Taobao Spreadsheet Secret Weapon
After years of trial and error, I created a comprehensive Taobao spreadsheet that tracks the best Balenciaga x Adidas sneaker replicas. This spreadsheet includes:
- Verified seller ratings and reviews
- Price comparisons across different stores
- Quality assessment metrics
- Shipping cost calculations
Slashing Shipping Costs: My 3-Step Method
Step 1: Consolidate Multiple Orders
I wait until I have 3-4 items in my AllChinaBuy warehouse before shipping. This reduces the per-item shipping cost significantly.
Step 2: Choose the Right Shipping Method
For Europe, I always use:
• EUB: Cheapest but slower (2-4 weeks)
• DHL Tax-Free: Faster and customs-friendly
Step 3: Remove Original Packaging
Request AllChinaBuy to remove shoeboxes and excess packaging. This can reduce shipping weight by 30-40%.
My Customs Avoidance Strategy
Declare Lower Value
I always declare packages at $15-20 USD, well below most European customs thresholds.
Use Triangle Shipping
AllChinaBuy’s tax-free lines route through other EU countries first, making packages appear as domestic shipments.
Split Large Orders
For orders over €150, I split into multiple smaller shipments to avoid attention.

Here are the exact terms I use in my Taobao searches for the best deals:
My Final Pro Tips
• Always use AllChinaBuy’s quality check service (¥10 per item)
• Save my Taobao spreadsheet and update it monthly
• Join European replica communities for latest seller updates
• Be patient – good deals come to those who wait
Using this method, I’ve built an impressive sneaker collection while spending less than most people pay for one retail pair. The Taobao spreadsheet approach combined with smart AllChinaBuy strategies has been my game-changer!
