2. Copy Product Information
For each watch you're considering, note the:
- Exact product name/model number

Many luxury watches show different pricing for the Chinese domestic market compared to Western retail prices.
3. Submit Order Request to CNFans
On the CNFans platform:
- Create an account and log in
- Select "Submit Purchasing Request"

- Agent will verify product details
4. Verification and Pricing
CNFans will:

- Check store authenticity (critical for luxury watches)
- Provide a final invoice with all fees (product cost, domestic/China shipping, agent commission, and estimate for global shipping)
5. Payment Processing
The platform accepts multiple payment methods including international credit cards, PayPal, Wise, and cryptocurrency in some cases.
6. Purchasing and Quality Control
CNFans handles the transaction and provides:
- Order confirmation from the Tmall store
- QC checks (request high-resolution photos upon arrival at their warehouse)
- Appearance inspection
- Serial number verification
7. International Shipping
Several shipping options are available:
- Express shipping (DHL/FedEx) - fastest but higher customs risk
- Special luxury goods forwarders - more discreet handling
- Registered sea freight - most economical for large items
CNFans can declare lower values but this carries risks for both seller and buyer with luxury goods.
Import Costs and Precautions
Important factors to consider:
- Your country's import duties on luxury watches (often 10-30% of declared value)
- Insurance options (recommended for watches over $5,000)
- Estimate final total cost before agreeing to ship
Alternative Consideration: Warranty Implications
Purchasing through Chinese retailers via an agent may affect the global warranty status compared to buying from an authorized dealer in your home country.
