3. Prepare Your Shopping List and Create an Account to the Respective Online Store
Start formulating your shopping list now, add the product page to your favorite bookmarks, or pre-add it to your Wish List of the website. As long as the discounted price is launched in the next few hours, you can directly add the product to the shopping cart without any hassle and proceed to checkout easily.

4. Download 11.11 Coupon Codes in Advance
Most sellers or online stores offer discount coupons during the 11.11 Sale Event. On Taobao or Tmall, you can visit the respective stores or brands to check out what available coupons they have. Make sure to download them beforehand and store them in your account. Even if you end up not using some of them, at the very least you’ll have extra savings when you shop if you do!
5. Prepare Multiple Cards for Payment
To avoid payment issues, prepare multiple payment options before the 11.11 Sale period. Most sellers on Taobao and Tmall do accept international credit/debit cards. If you’re using your credit/debit cards to shop, make sure that your cards are not blocked from making overseas transactions, and it is a lot safer to have more than one card as a backup.
6. Use Buyandship’s International Parcel Forwarding Service
During 11.11, the shipment volume going out of China will be massive so delays in getting your purchases to you might happen. Even scarier is when you can’t track your parcel once it leaves China. Here’s a pro tip: Taobao and Tmall often offer free shipping within China and Hong Kong during 11.11, so you only need to consider the Buyandship shipping costs! Keep in mind, that some other websites charge handling and agent fees. But with Buyandship you never have to be afraid of any hidden fees!
