Information and tool site · no checkout, no quotes
A first CNFans order, walked through in nine checkable steps.
A catalogue row is a pointer, not a purchase. This site walks the whole path — reading the row, placing the order, judging the warehouse photos, choosing a line by chargeable weight, and closing the order with numbers you can compare next time.
- Sample snapshot
- 218 listings
- Collected 2026-09-29; median price $36.18.
- Tool parameters
- 6 bands
- Template bands, each marked not verified until you replace the rates.

- 2026-09-29
- Figures are re-checked weekly; the change log sits at the bottom of the ledger.
What this site does that a link list cannot
A link list answers one question: where is the item. It does not answer what the row commits you to, how the postage will be calculated once the item is packed, which photographs are worth requesting before dispatch, or what to write when a customs office asks for documents. Those are the questions that decide whether an order costs what you expected.
So the site is organised as a path rather than as a catalogue. Each of the nine steps states the goal, what you need in hand, what to do, what a normal result looks like, and how to react when it does not. Tools sit beside the step that needs them, and every figure that can be checked is dated. Where something cannot be checked — and there is a lot that cannot — it is marked not verified instead of being filled in with a plausible number.
The reference layer underneath the path is deliberately narrow. There is a ledger of what can be measured (218 catalogue listings collected on 2026-09-29, with the implied CNY/USD average of 6.232 that follows from them), a sample table you can filter, twelve service profiles built only from what a public page shows, and forty field notes that take one question each and answer it with arithmetic rather than adjectives.
Four tools worth opening first
Which weight will the route actually charge — actual or volumetric?
The route charges the greater of actual weight, volumetric weight and any minimum billable weight.
Which line fits this parcel, given what you care about?
Rank the lines in the parameter table by cost, speed or arrival steadiness for your weight and category.
Should you approve these warehouse photos, or ask for more?
Score eight dimensions, weight them, and get a verdict you can paste into a support message.
What does each budget step actually buy once postage is counted?
Plan $100, $300 and $500 baskets with a weight template and see how postage changes the shape of each.

Three questions that come up first
- Does this site sell anything, or place orders for me?
- Neither. This site publishes explanations and browser tools about ordering through third-party services. It holds no goods, takes no payment, has no account system and keeps no order desk, so nothing here is for sale and there is no queue to join. When a page describes paying for an item or choosing a line, it is describing what happens inside the account you already hold with a service, not something performed here. That distinction sets what you can expect from these pages: guidance, arithmetic you can redo yourself, and dated snapshots with their sources shown. The method and its limits are set out in /brief.
- Where in the process should I start reading?
- Start at the step that matches what you are about to do rather than at the beginning by habit. If you already hold an account and a usable delivery address, the efficient entry point is /walkthrough/step-2, where a link table is read for the fields an order form will actually ask for. If the order is already placed, /walkthrough/step-4 covers the domestic leg and /walkthrough/step-5 covers the warehouse clock. Every step page states what you need before starting, the action itself, the expected result and what to do when it fails, so the pages remain usable out of sequence.
- How do I copy a seller’s options without losing the variant I wanted?
- Copy the option string exactly as the listing writes it, numbering and symbols included, and keep the price basis beside it: per item, per pair, or per set of three. Paraphrasing is the most common reason the wrong thing reaches a warehouse, because whoever reads the order is matching characters rather than intentions, and “the black one, large” is not a match when the listing offers “Style 3 / Size L”. /walkthrough/step-3 walks the order form field by field, /workbench/export-kit prints a list you can paste without retyping, and /notes/rebuilding-a-table-row-from-a-product-page-field-by-field rebuilds one row from the listing page.
