Master Your Haul: How to Organize Multi-Item Orders with the Hoobuy Spreadsheet

2026-02-19

Large hauls can feel overwhelming. Tracking multiple items, sellers, and statuses is a complex task. The Hoobuy Spreadsheet is your ultimate control center, turning chaos into clarity. Here’s how to use it effectively.

The Core Advantage: Centralized Tracking

Instead of scattered notes or countless browser tabs, the spreadsheet consolidates every detail of your multi-item order into one, powerful document. This single source of truth is key to managing the entire process, from purchase to your doorstep.

Structuring Your Spreadsheet for Success

Organize columns to capture the critical journey of each item. A recommended structure includes:

Column Purpose Data Example
Item / Link Product description and source link. Men's Casual Jacket, [URL]
Seller / Agent Note Track where you bought it and any special instructions. Store_ABC, "Size M, Navy Blue"
Price (¥) Item cost and domestic shipping. 150 + 10
QC Status The most crucial column. Use statuses like: Ordered, Arrived Warehouse, QC Photos Received, GL (Green Light), RL (Red Light), Exchanged. QC Photos Received
Warehouse Weight (g) Actual weight from Hoobuy's warehouse. Critical for shipping cost. 450g
Expected Delivery Date Estimate based on shipping line chosen. 2024-10-25

Key Workflow: Managing QC Statuses

This is the heart of haul control. Systematically update the QC Status

  1. Ordered:
  2. Arrived Warehouse:
  3. QC Photos Received:
  4. GL (Green Light):
  5. RL (Red Light) / Exchanged:

Filtering by this column lets you instantly see which items are ready to ship and which need attention.

Calculating Costs and Making Shipping Decisions

Use the Warehouse Weight

  • Sum all weights of "GL" items to get your parcel's total weight.
  • Compare shipping line costs (like SAL, EMS, Tariffless) based on this weight.
  • You can now decide to ship your entire haul together or split it into smaller, optimized parcels to save money or reduce risk.

Visibility and Forecasting

The Expected Delivery Date

  • Set realistic expectations for your haul's arrival.
  • Plan for potential customs delays.
  • Share a timeline with others if you're organizing a group buy.

Final Tips for Spreadsheet Mastery

Keep your spreadsheet updated in real-time. Use color-coding (e.g., green for GL, red for RL) for visual scanning. The Hoobuy Spreadsheet isn't just a log; it's an active management tool. By separating and tracking QC statuses, shipping weights, and dates, you take full control, making large hauls predictable, efficient, and far less stressful.

Happy hauling with confidence!
