Many international shoppers don't realize that some of their favorite brands, including Gap, are available on TaobaoChina reverse purchasing platform, Mulebuy, solves this issue.

Reverse purchasing, in this context, simply refers to agents based in China assisting international customers in buying from Chinese platforms. Let's walk through the steps of using Mulebuy to get your desired Gap items from Taobao.

Step 1: Registering on Mulebuy

Before you start shopping, you'll need to create an account on Mulebuy's official website. The platform allows you to easily understand your dashboard, top up your balance, and manage shipping. Once registered, customers usually receive a unique warehouse address in China where their Taobao orders will be sent before forwarding overseas.

Step 2: Picking Your Gap Products on Taobao

Browse Taobao's Gap Official Store or search using terms such as “Gap Hoodie” or “小孩 Gap jeans” if you're searching in Chinese. Especially recommended is Taobao's Gap Outlet section for fantastic deals. When you locate the products, just copy and save the item's URL. Keep an eye out for items tagged “Genuine” (正品) to ensure it's an official item and not a counterfeit.

Step 3: Submitting Your Order Request on Mulebuy

Once you're logged in to Mulebuy, head to your dashboard and click on “Purchase for Me” or a similarly named option. Then, paste the items’ URLs (can be multiple products) and add notes on color, size, and other attributes in English. An agent will quickly process your request and usually confirm available stock – assuming availability, you can proceed to pay using their included service fees.

Step 4: Payment and Consolidation

Tracking domestic shipping from Taobao seller to Mulebuy's warehouse is vital. Shipping within China for product consolidations is generally free when you meet the minimum, or at a low cost if it doesn’t. Your order status will likely update to “Warehouse Received.” It’s better in most cases to consolidate multiple items under one shipment since international forwarding costs often come with a base charge plus additional fees per item.

Step 5: International Shipping

Once Mulebuy confirms that all orders are picked and safely at their warehouse, chhose from provided shipping options such as EMS, DHL, or others based on fee-to-time ratio. Certain countries have strict import limits for clothing, so check your country's duty-free thresholds while submitting customs form information on their website appropriately – honesty is generally recommended. Also consider protective re-packaging or package removal to minimize shipping weight upon request.
