How Tinabuy works
Tinabuy is designed as an independent cross-border shopping companion. This page describes the intended workflow of the platform.
Step 1
Find a product
Search by keyword, paste a product link, or upload an image to describe what you want.
Step 2
Place your order
Choose variants and quantity, then confirm an estimated item cost plus service fee.
Step 3
Warehouse receipt
Items are received and logged at the Tinabuy warehouse with photographs.
Step 4
Quality check
A visual inspection captures condition, colour, size and any visible defects.
Step 5
Consolidation
Multiple items are combined into fewer parcels to reduce shipping weight and cost.
Step 6
International shipping
Pick a shipping preference and follow the parcel with tracking updates.
Step 7
Delivered to you
The parcel arrives at your address; your order history keeps every QC photo.
Built around consolidation
Shipping several small parcels separately is usually the most expensive way to buy across borders. Grouping items into a single outbound parcel is the core idea behind the Tinabuy workflow.
Workflow descriptions are illustrative. Actual timelines, fees and inspection procedures may vary by product category and operational capacity.
