Know before you ship

A neutral tool for reverse-haitao shoppers

Shopwaver aggregates shopping-agent shipping, exchange rates, fees, coupons and community finds into one honest, comparison-first place. We do not sell products, hold inventory or take part in any transaction.

Who it's for

Shopwaver is built for global shoppers who buy China-market goods through a shopping agent — a buying or proxy service, sometimes called reverse-haitao or daigou — and want to compare shipping, currency markup and estimated landed cost across Mulebuy, Oopbuy, Litbuy, Kakobuy, ACBuy and Hipobuy before ordering. It is just as useful if you are new and still learning how agent pricing fits together.

What we believe

  • Honest data. Every number carries an update time and a source, and stale data is flagged — final checkout at the agent always prevails.
  • Neutral rankings. Every comparison is computed purely from the numbers, so the cheapest option is simply the cheapest — funding never touches the math.
  • Tools, not transactions. We help you decide, then you buy directly with the agent you chose.

How Shopwaver is funded

The sign-up links on this site are referral links. If you register through one, the agent may credit Shopwaver — at no extra cost to you, and you still receive the agent's full newcomer welcome pack. That is the site's only revenue. Referral links never influence rankings, prices or which agents we track: the data pipeline doesn't know they exist, and every agent gets the same treatment whether or not its link earns anything.

Where the data comes from

We read publicly available agent estimation pages and community spreadsheets, snapshot them on a schedule, and show you when each was last refreshed. Shipping and exchange rates update daily; coupons are reviewed regularly.

Everything here is an estimate

Agents change prices, coupons rotate and sale windows are short. Always confirm the live number at the agent before you pay.

For creators

Community finds sheets are credited to their makers and linked straight back to the original — we never re-host them. If you create a sheet and want it delisted, just ask and we remove it, no questions asked.

Frequently asked questions

What is Shopwaver?

Who is Shopwaver for?

It is for global shoppers who buy China-market goods through a shopping agent and want to compare shipping, currency markup and estimated landed cost before ordering. It is equally useful for beginners learning how agent pricing works.

Does Shopwaver make money from the agents it compares?

Shopwaver's only revenue is referral sign-up links: if you register through one, the agent may credit Shopwaver at no extra cost to you. It has no partnership, authorization or endorsement from any platform, and it ranks purely on the aggregated numbers — the cheapest option shown is simply the cheapest in the data.

How does Shopwaver keep data honest?

Every figure carries an update time and a source, stale data is flagged, and figures are estimates from public pages — the final checkout total at the agent always prevails. Community spreadsheets are credited, linked back and delisted on request.
