What This Spreadsheet Is For

The SuperBuy Spreadsheet is not a product catalog. It is a filter layer that sits between your search intent and the full catalog on the main site. Think of it as a map. You use it to understand the terrain before you start walking. This guide explains how to use the spreadsheet efficiently so you spend less time browsing and more time buying what you actually want.

Start With Your Category

The spreadsheet is organized into 11 categories. Do not jump straight to the full catalog. Instead, click the category that matches what you are looking for. Each category page explains what to buy, what to avoid, and how to check quality before you open the catalog. This pre-filter saves you from scrolling through thousands of unrelated items.

Spreadsheet Mindset

Use this site to understand the category, then use the main catalog to find the specific item. The spreadsheet answers "what should I look for?" The catalog answers "which item should I buy?"

Read the Common Mistakes First

Every category page has a "Common Mistakes" section. Read this before you browse. These mistakes are based on what real buyers have experienced. Avoiding them saves you from returns, refunds, and disappointment. For example, the Shoes category warns you about ignoring the CM size chart. The T-Shirts category warns you about buying by S/M/L without checking length.

Check the QC Tips Before You Order

The QC Checklist on each category page tells you exactly what to look for in warehouse photos. When your item arrives at the SuperBuy warehouse, pull up the QC checklist for that category and compare it to the photos. This makes your inspection faster and more accurate. You will know exactly what details matter for that specific item type.

Follow the How to Buy Steps

The How to Buy section on the homepage explains the overall workflow: understand the category, enter the catalog, purchase via SuperBuy. Follow this sequence. Do not skip the "understand" step. The buyers who rush straight to the catalog are the ones who end up with the wrong size, wrong material, or unexpected shipping cost.

Use the Guides for Specific Questions

The guides section covers topics like shipping costs, seller selection, and beginner mistakes. If you have a specific question, check the guides before asking on Reddit. The guides are written to answer the exact questions that new buyers ask most often. They also link back to relevant categories so you can continue browsing after reading.

Linking Back to the Full Catalog

Every category page and guide page links to the relevant full catalog section. These links are not random. They take you directly to the filtered category on the main site. Use them. Do not try to navigate the main site from scratch. The spreadsheet is designed to hand you off to the right place at the right time.

Spreadsheet vs Main Catalog

Here is the difference in simple terms. The spreadsheet teaches you how to buy. The catalog shows you what to buy. You need both. The spreadsheet reduces decision fatigue by filtering the noise before you even open the catalog. The catalog gives you the selection and variety. Together, they create a faster, smarter buying experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
