Who files this Whalebuy Spreadsheet, and on what rules

The Whalebuy Spreadsheet Barometer is an independent catalogue for people ordering from China through Whalebuy. It is kept by a small editorial team and is not connected to Whalebuy beyond linking to it.

Not Whalebuy's own site

This domain contains the brand name because the catalogue is about ordering through that brand. It is not the official site, it is not run by XINGKUN TRADING CO., LIMITED, and no sentence here speaks for the company. We cannot see your orders, change your account or answer for Whalebuy's staff. For those, use whalebuy.com and the Consult button on your order.

Editorial rules

Listings are chosen by searching Whalebuy's 1688 channel and reading each candidate in English and Chinese. We leave out anything that names or imitates a famous brand, and anything already featured on other Whalebuy catalogues we could check. Each card records the price, the minimum order and the problem we found, because every listing had at least one.

Facts about Whalebuy come from its own help centre, public estimator and official screenshots, with the date read. When Whalebuy contradicts itself across pages, both versions appear here. We have not received goods for review and do not claim to have tested any product; notes describe what the listing data and photos show.

Money and referral links

Links to Whalebuy and to the wider category catalogues carry tracking tags so the destination can see a visit came from here. We hold no Whalebuy invitation code, so we earn nothing from Whalebuy for sign-ups made through our links today. In the HTML, outbound links carry a sponsored attribute; for a catalogue that may earn from referrals later, that is the straightforward setting. This page will say so if that changes.

No product on this site was paid for by a seller, and no seller asked to be listed. The site carries no advertising and sets no cookies of its own.
