MuleBuy QC photos before shipping to the United Kingdom
MuleBuy warehouse photos before a carton moves toward the United Kingdom. Royal Mail is last-mile, not a QC studio.
What QC photos show
Angles of the piece in the China warehouse: labels, flaws, measurements. Extra angles are often paid in-app.
Accept QC before freight
Do not book https://mulebuy.com/estimation/ with destination the United Kingdom until you accept the photos. Fail-QC is cheaper in the warehouse than after HMRC.
Where QC happens
China warehouse, not a Royal Mail depot. UK postcode is the label after you accept.
How to fill a UK delivery address
Use a UK street and postcode on the label. Northern Ireland is often a different carrier product than mainland Royal Mail, so pick the live line in the app instead of swapping the country name.
Open https://mulebuy.com/estimation/ and set destination United Kingdom before you pay international freight.
Prices in GBP
This page shows finds in GBP. You pay on mulebuy.com — card, PayPal or balance, whatever the official account offers that day.
If the official screen still prints a dollar symbol, trust the number in the app and the calculator at https://mulebuy.com/estimation/.
Paste a Taobao, 1688 or Weidian link
Copy the product URL from the Chinese shop, paste it on mulebuy.com, and MuleBuy buys it into the warehouse. mulebuyspreadsheets.co.uk is the spreadsheet and guide for that path toward a UK door.
Sneakers, hoodies, jackets and bags are the usual rows because those SKUs still have QC angles. Electronics, perfume and liquids stay off the sheet unless the app allows them the morning you submit.
QC photos, then Royal Mail
Wait for warehouse photos in the app. Extra angles are often a paid add-on. After you accept QC, book the international line. Last mile is often Royal Mail.
Two payments are normal: goods into China, then freight. Storage days are listed in official Help on mulebuy.com — read them the day you ship.
Import charges
Who pays VAT and handling depends on the booked SKU. Royal Mail can add a collect fee. Read https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad (HMRC) the morning you ship. This page does not invent a rate or a declared value.
Warehouse in China, not a Royal Mail depot
QC photos are taken in the MuleBuy warehouse in China. A Royal Mail depot in the UK is last-mile, not a second QC studio.
Storage days are in official Help on mulebuy.com. After QC, open https://mulebuy.com/estimation/ with destination United Kingdom. UK postcode.
First order: one clothing SKU
For the first UK door, one hoodie or a pair of sneakers with warehouse photos is enough.
Restricted, perfume, batteries and liquids stay off until the app allows them the morning you ship.
English catalogue keys are labels
The category wall says sneakers, hoodie, jacket, bag because the index is English.
Estimator country stays the United Kingdom, GBP is display, checkout is mulebuy.com.
What this hostname is not
mulebuyspreadsheets.co.uk is a spreadsheet toward a UK door. Register and tickets only on mulebuy.com.
Northern Ireland is often another carrier product.
Tracking after the border
After the international line, tracking follows the SKU — often Royal Mail.
Who pays import VAT is the booked SKU. Source: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad (HMRC).
Returns only in the warehouse
Fail-QC is handled in-app while the piece is in China. After Royal Mail delivered, HMRC does not reopen a warehouse ticket.
Neighbour countries are other SKUs
UK postcode is the address test. An EU code in the estimator is the wrong country.
