Customer Guide

Proxy purchasing service mainly involves four steps:

1. Select an item and provide your delivery details.
2. Confirm the condition of your item.
3. Choose a shipping method.
4. Sit and wait for delivery.

Please go to next page for detailed process.

Service Fee

• New Items: 2% of the item price (Min: 49 CNY / Max: 349 CNY)
• Pre-owned: 3% of the item price (Min: 69 CNY / Max: 489 CNY)

Purchase Process

Step 1: Product Selection and Escrow Payment

You select an item, provide Agent with your delivery details, and authorize Agent to negotiate with the seller.

Once the final price is agreed upon, you pay the full amount for the item to Agent as a deposit.

Agent then purchases the item immediately after confirming the receipt of your payment.

Step 2: Inspection Confirmation

After receiving it, Agent opens and inspects the package, documenting its condition through photos or video. You confirm that:

• The correct item was received.
• The condition is acceptable.
• The packaging is adequate.

After your confirmation, Agent provides available cross-border shipping options.

If you prioritize speed and trust the seller, you may choose to skip this step. Doing so can save approximately four days, but it’s at your own risk.

Step 3: Final Balance and Shipping

Agent provides you with the most cost-efficient shipping method. You pay the remaining balance, including:

• Shipping cost.
• Service fee.

After the remaining balance is received, Agent hands the parcel to the cross-border logistics carrier and will provide you with tracking method once it’s available.

Step 4: Sleep

Sit and wait for delivery!

Shipping and Delivery

Shipping Information

To ensure your parcel is delivered correctly, please provide your shipping information in the following format:

Recipient's Full Name (as on passport)
Country
State/Province
City
Detailed Address
Postal Code
Phone Number (including country code)
Email
Declared Value (optional)
Remarks (optional)

Declared Value

The declared value may affect customs duties. A higher declared value could lead to higher taxes, while a lower value could increase the chance of customs inspection. If you are unsure, Agent can recommend a suitable declared value.

Agent will manage to help you avoid or minimize customs. To date, no customer has been charged customs duties, but this cannot be guaranteed in the future.

Freight Reference

The following figures are for reference only. Freight rates and delivery times may change.

A parcel roughly the size of a Hifiman Arya with box is typically treated as 3 kg by couriers. Examples:

• United States: 74 CNY/kg + 98 CNY, about 6 days by air.
• Hawaii: 70 CNY/kg + 100 CNY, about 8 days by air.
• Malaysia: 29.5 CNY/kg, about 4 days by air; 10.5 CNY/kg + 10 CNY, about 10+ days by sea.
• Europe: 58 CNY/kg + 66 CNY, about 10 days by air. (EU customs clearance sometimes causes delays.)
• United Kingdom: 46 CNY/kg + 32 CNY, about 9 days by air. (Severe delay occurred once due to holiday backlog during Christmas.)

If your deposit exceeds the final total amount due, including product price and shipping, Agent can refund the difference.

Payment Methods

Alipay

Alipay is the preferred payment method for most customers if it’s available in your region.

You can either ask Agent for a payment QR code or provide your Alipay account phone number with country code to receive a payment request.

Pay via Alipay: scan my Alipay QR code. The legal full name is 张君一. If Alipay asks for a middle name, enter 君.

Visa

If you pay via Visa card, banks may charge a service fee. The exact rate depends on your institution. Transfers usually complete within 1 business day, though it can occasionally take up to 7 days in rare cases.

Pay via bank transfer through the SWIFT system:

Destination country: Hong Kong, China
SWIFT / BIC code: SCBLHKHH
Account name: ZHANG CHENGYUAN
Account number / IBAN: 32086697161
RTGS ID: 003
Beneficiary's bank: Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
Bank address: Standard Chartered Tower, Floor 15, 388 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong
Remark: (leave blank)

Banks generally do not require recipients to explain the source of small cross-border remittances, but adding a remark may trigger manual clarification and delay processing. Once your payment is confirmed, you can ask Agent for a screenshot of the receipt.

PayPal

PayPal is convenient, but withdrawal difficulty increases the cost for Chinese merchants. An additional 4% will be charged.

Pay via PayPal: https://paypal.me/hqywygd.

Crypto

Crypto via CEX (USDC on OKX/Binance) is the preferred payment method for tech bros. Unlike PayPal or Visa, transferring USDC via OKX or Binance usually incurs no transfer fee, making it the most economical option for international payments.

To pay via OKX, scan my OKX QR code and use the following details:

Recipient's UID: 531491139568678256
Recipient's real name: 张君一

To pay via Binance, scan my Binance QR code or use Binance ID 1213589977.

Warning: Binance is unavailable in some countries, including the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands.

If you are new to crypto and would like to have a try, please read Crypto Payment Tutorial. You may also use Agent’s invitation code, which may save around 20 USD: 49819258 (OKX) and GRO_28502_FEJD8 (Binance).

For risk-control purposes, non-custodial wallet P2P transfers are not supported.

Change of Mind (New Items Only): if you no longer want the item, you may return it within free return policy period (usually 7 days) after receipt. You will bear the return shipping cost and receive a refund minus a 5% restocking fee, capped at 200 CNY.

Logistics Choices: The cross-border logistics quotation provided by Agent is a no-profit convenience reference. If you are not satisfied with it, you may ask Agent to use your own designated logistics carrier.

Liability and Disclaimer

Shipping Risks: Cross-border transportation is outside Agent’s direct control. There is a very low probability of serious delays, shipping damage, or lost parcels, and Agent is not responsible for those outcomes. If you want insurance, notify Agent before the parcel is dispatched, and Agent will provide a quote. If an insurance claim is paid out, Agent will refund the full compensation amount to you.

Voltage Requirements: Please inform Agent of your local voltage standard so the correct adapter can be selected. If the product becomes unusable or damaged because this information was not provided, Agent is not liable.

Updates and Force Majeure: Due to changes in international relations, tariff policies, and payment processor rules, this term may be updated without prior notice. However, barring force majeure, the proxy purchase terms are governed by the state at the time you place your order.

This guide is for customers new to crypto and outlines the process of purchasing USDC on OKX and using it to pay for goods.

OKX Crypto Payment Tutorial

Crypto is a digital asset based on cryptography and blockchain technology. We primarily use it to lower transaction fees. In this case, you will be charged zero fees. A stablecoin is a special type of crypto whose value is typically pegged to a fiat currency (like the US dollar) or another asset (like gold), designed to maintain a stable price and avoid the significant volatility of traditional cryptocurrencies. USDC is one of the most popular and widely used US dollar stablecoins, pegged 1:1 to USD, and is now widely used in crypto trading and cross-border payments. OKX is one of the world’s leading crypto exchange platforms, where users can safely buy, sell, and manage their crypto assets.

Agent uses OKX as main crypto wallet and primarily accepts USDC as the payment currency. Considering the high fees and withdrawal costs of traditional cross-border payment methods (like PayPal, SWIFT bank transfers) and the limited international usability of tools like Alipay, we strongly recommend using crypto to pay for your goods. This guide will walk you through how to safely, quickly, and conveniently purchase USDC on OKX and transfer it to Agent to complete the P2P transaction.

This tutorial strongly recommends using the mobile OKX App to buy crypto and complete the transaction. This is because, in most cases, mobile phones are less susceptible to various types of malware, phishing links, and security vulnerabilities than computers.

Step 1: Download the OKX App (Mobile Application)

Use Agent’s OKX invitation link https://okx.com/join/49819258 to download the official OKX App; both parties may receive a bonus. You can also download the OKX app directly from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Step 2: Register, Log In, and Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

To conduct P2P trading and withdraw funds (including internal transfers) on OKX, you must first complete Identity Verification (Know Your Customer, KYC). Please follow the in-app instructions. This may require uploading an ID document and completing a facial recognition scan.

(Optional) Use Agent’s OKX invitation link https://okx.com/join/49819258 or invitation code 49819258 to register an account; both parties may receive a bonus.

(Optional) Scan the QR code to add Agent as a contact on OKX.

Step 3: Buy Crypto via P2P Trading (Fiat Transaction)

Please strictly follow the purchasing steps provided by OKX to prevent any loss of funds!

On the OKX App homepage, tap “P2P trading” and follow the in-app instructions to purchase USDC.

Step 4: Transfer USDC to Agent

Select the currency you want to transfer (typically USDC).

Navigate to: New destinations > OKX users > UID > 531491139568678256 (To avoid loss of funds, please copy this UID directly instead of typing it manually.)

You can also save Agent to your address book for future use by navigating to: Saved destinations > Address book > Add recipient > OKX users > UID > 531491139568678256

If OKX asks for the recipient’s real name, please enter 张君一.

Step 5: Confirm and Complete the Transfer

On the final confirmation screen, be sure to carefully double-check that the recipient’s UID and the transfer amount are correct.

After the transfer is successful, you can check its status under Assets > History.
