Orientdig operates as a bridge, connecting international customers with the vast Chinese e-commerce market. Their service model is straightforward: they provide you with a personal Chinese warehouse address, you use that address to make purchases on Tmall or Taobao, and then they consolidate and forward your parcels overseas. The entire platform interface is available in English, which immediately alleviates the first major obstacle.

The Step-by-Step Purchase Journey

My journey began on Tmall’s official Adidas store. I found the Terrex Agravic model I wanted, noted the product details and price. Before finalizing anything, however, thorough research is key. I stumbled upon a fantastic resource for comparison: https://finds.cheap/. This external site features a well-organized spreadsheet that lists various outdoor gear, including different Adidas Terrex models, their prices across platforms, and user ratings. It confirmed that the Tmall deal was, indeed, competitive and for an authentic product.

With confidence, I proceeded to Orientdig. After registering, I was assigned my unique Orientdig

The next phase involved waiting for the shoes to arrive at Orientdig’s warehouse. Their system automatically updated me with a notification and photos of the received parcel, allowing me to verify the item. Here, their value-added services shone: I requested a simple quality check and repacking to reduce volumetric weight for shipping. They accommodated these requests promptly for a small fee.
