Shopping for international brands like Cole HaanSugargoo, a reputable Chinese forwarding and purchasing agent, simplifies the process. This guide will walk you through buying Cole Haan shoes or accessories on Taobao using Sugargoo, including how to leverage resources like the product spreadsheet
First, register an account
Navigate to Taobao’s homepage (www.taobao.com) and search for "Cole Haan" using the search bar. Filter results by price, seller reputation, or customer reviews to narrow down options. For curated product selections, check out this handy spreadsheet
Pro Tip:
Copy the Taobao URL of your chosen Cole Haan product (e.g., shoes, bags) and paste it into Sugargoo’s "Order for Me" page. Specify details like size, color, and quantity. Sugargoo’s team will review the order and confirm the total cost, including domestic shipping to their warehouse in China.
Complete payment through Sugargoo’s platform using PayPal, credit/debit cards, or other supported methods. Once paid, the Taobao seller ships the item to Sugargoo’s warehouse. You’ll receive QC photos to inspect the product before international shipping.
Sugargoo offers multiple shipping carriers (DHL, EMS, FedEx, etc.). Compare rates and delivery times, then submit the parcel request. Declare the item’s value accurately to avoid customs issues. For Cole Haan shoes, “leather footwear” with a ~$50 declaration is common.
The spreadsheet tool
By combining Taobao’s vast inventory with Sugargoo’s reliable forwarding, you can access authentic Cole Haan products at lower prices than Western retailers. Always double-check sizing charts, utilize QC images, and factor in shipping timelines (typically 10–20 days to the US/EU). Happy shopping!
