Why Use Hoobuy for 1688 Purchases?
1688 excels in bulk pricing but rarely ships internationally. Hoobuy acts as:
- Local proxy
- Quality control
- Shipping consolidator
Step 1: Locate Affordable Mizuno Wave Prophecy Listings
Check reputable 1688 suppliers via third-party lists like our product comparison spreadsheet: https://findsspreadsheet.com/. Key filtering criteria:
| Factor | Guideline |
|---|
| Price Range | ¥500-¥900 (varies by batch) |
| Store Rating | 4.8+/5 with 2y+ history |
| Buyer Reviews | 20+ verified transactions |
Pro tip: Many listings exclude "Mizuno" from titles due to brand restrictions—search keywords like "Wave Prophecy 跑鞋" (running shoes).
Step 2: Create Accounts & Configure Hoobuy
- Register on 1688 (requires Chinese phone verification—Hoobuy's virtual numbers work).
- Sign up at Hoobuy to get your exclusive Chinese shipping address
- Install Hoobuy's browser extension for auto-translating 1688 product pages.
Step 3: Submit Purchase Request Through Hoobuy
Unlike typical shopping, provide:
- 1688 product link + selected specifications (size/color via dropdown translations)
- Desired quality check level
- Consolidation instructions (e.g., repackage shoebox to reduce volumetric weight)
Hoobuy's team confirms orders within 24hrs. Payment connects via PayPal/Alipay.

Hoobuy offers 3-tier shipping:
| Option | Cost | Delivery Time |
