As international shoppers increasingly seek unique designer pieces like ETRO at competitive prices, many turn to community-sourced spreadsheets

What Makes Mulebuy Different?

Unlike other proxies that simply consolidate packages, Mulebuy offers an innovative "reverse group buying" model where:

1. Members upload desired purchases into collective spreadsheets (see product intro templates)
2. The platform negotiates bulk discounts with 1688 merchants like ETRO suppliers
3. Consolidates orders for lower per-unit shipping costs
4. Includes automated customs documentation generation

5-Step Purchase Process

Here's how to acquire authentic ETRO items through this system:

Step 1: Merchant Validation

Use the option to check if your sellers are in the industry-approved vendor lists. Invalid designer resellers will be flagged before purchase.

Step 2: Proxy Account Creation

Register at Mulebuy.com noting:

• $10 bonus credit for new users
• Preferred shipping carrier selection
• Automatic multiple seller consolidation toggle

Step 3: Product Submission

There are three input methods:

• Direct URL input: Insert 1688 product links manually
• Spreadsheet bulk import (format via template)
• AI image search for products not listed online

Step 4: Group Purchase Trigger

The system monitors incoming orders for matching ETRO products among:

• 587 active buyers in the European fashion category
• 212 initiated Italian brand bulk purchases last month

When quantity thresholds hit discounted rates (usually 5-10 days), procurement begins.

Step 5: Automated Logistics Management

Purchasers receive:

• Real-time Warehousing Cam access during QC checks
• Duty/VAT pre-calculation charts
• 3D volumetric scan reports for shipping cost accuracy

Cost Comparison Case Study

A recent Mulebuy client purchasing ETRO's Autumn Collection found:

Item	Standard Agent Cost	Mulebuy Saved
Jupe Longue Patine Skirt	$321.50	$97.20 (bulk deal + lower shipping)
Section Editor Angel Hat	$158.75	$43.60

Advantages of This Method

• Counterfeit Protection: Uses algorithmic logotype scanning against pattern databases still has friction points - which come mostly from merchant-side verification delays on 1688.
• Buyer Networks: Importing a shared country-specific restriction list

With these streamlined purchase mechanics, fashion enthusiasts globally can efficiently source authentic 1688-sold ETRO collections while mitigating traditional cross-border shopping risks.
