Mulebuy Spreadsheet

Mulebuy Spreadsheet: a haul docket for what you pick, what lands and what reaches your door

Pick finds from the catalogue below, then keep one running count as they pass from seller to warehouse to parcel to your hallway. Most haul problems first show up as a number that stops matching.

English search words work best. Every result card shows the listing price in yuan and the shelf it sits on.

What this Mulebuy Spreadsheet is, and the docket idea behind it

A Mulebuy Spreadsheet is a product catalogue: shelves of cards, each card showing one listing drawn from Taobao, Weidian or 1688 (the big Chinese marketplaces), with its photo, its title and its price in yuan. You browse by category, open a card, and carry the listing link to a buying agent, which purchases the item for you and posts it on. It is a shop window you can search, not a document you scroll through.

  2. Count twoLandedWhat the warehouse logged and photographed.
  3. Count threePackedWhat went into each outbound parcel.
  4. Count fourUnpackedWhat came out of the box at home.

The four counts give the menu its shape. Read them in order for a first haul, or jump straight to the stage you are stuck at.

Mulebuy itself, written in the past tense

Mulebuy was a buying agent with a warehouse in Guangdong province; its August 2026 help pages placed that warehouse in Huizhou. The catalogue still carries its name because that is the name many shoppers typed into a search bar when they first heard about buying through an agent.

A first haul, from catalogue card to stored item

The first haul is mostly waiting, with five short bursts of attention in between. You shortlist cards, paste each listing link into an agent's order form, pay for the goods plus the seller's domestic postage, and then wait while sellers post to the agent's warehouse. Items are received, weighed, photographed and finally marked as stored. Only then do you choose what goes in the parcel.

The docket tool, and what it is for

The haul docket tool is a small form that runs in your browser. Enter each line of your haul once, then fill in four numbers as the haul moves: ordered, landed at the warehouse, packed, unpacked. The tool lists every line where a number drops or grows, says which stage it happened at, and suggests who to ask. It keeps your docket in the browser between visits and can copy it as plain text for a message to an agent.
