Your First Lovegobuy Order: A Walked-Through Checklist
What to buy first, how to size it, what to check in the warehouse photos, and the two mistakes that cost beginners the most.
Updated 2026-10-17
Make the first order boring
The first order should teach you the process, not deliver the item you care about. Choose something cheap, low-risk and easy to judge: a plain tee, a cap, a pair of socks. You are buying information about how this works.
Once you understand the timing, the QC step and what the shipping quote really means, the second order can be the one that matters.
Size by measurement, not by letter
Asian sizing is cut differently from US and EU sizing, and the conversion tables on listings are optimistic. The reliable method is to measure a garment you already own, laid flat, and match those numbers against the seller chart.
Chest, length and shoulder are the three that matter for most clothing. They take a minute to measure and remove most of the guesswork.
Fill in the address properly
Most post-dispatch problems are address problems. Include the postcode, a phone number that someone answers, and the apartment or unit number if your country uses one.
Check it before you pay. Once a tracking number exists, the address on the parcel is the address it goes to.
What the warehouse step looks like
Sellers ship to the warehouse first. When the parcel arrives it is logged, photographed, and held until you approve. Nothing is packed for export until you say so.
That is your quality gate. Use it, and use it quickly: parcels held for days often incur storage charges that exceed the value of a minor flaw.
The two mistakes that cost the most
First, approving QC on a small screen. Phone-sized images hide exactly the details that matter: stitching, print edges, hardware alignment.
Second, splitting parcels without thinking. Splitting is right when one item is urgent and wrong when it just adds a second base charge for no reason.
After it arrives
Compare what arrived with the photos you approved. If they differ, that comparison is your evidence, and it settles disputes far faster than a written description.
Then note what you would do differently. Two or three orders is usually enough to make the whole process feel routine.
FAQ
How long does a first order usually take?
Two stages: seller to warehouse, then warehouse to you. The first is the seller's speed, the second depends on the lane you choose.
Should I consolidate on my first order?
Only if it is several small items. A single item does not benefit, and consolidation adds handling time before dispatch.
What if the QC photos look wrong?
Reject with one specific reason. Vague rejections get vague replacements; a specific one usually gets the right item.
