Fishgoo Haul Guide 2026: How to Plan, QC and Ship a Multi-Item Haul (Black Friday and Christmas Planner)

A Fishgoo haul is a group of items from different Chinese sellers that you buy through Fishgoo, collect at its China warehouse and then ship to you together. Each item gets 5 free QC photos, storage is free for 100 days so you can build the haul over weeks, and you choose from 2,000+ shipping routes. Fishgoo charges a 0% service fee: you pay for the items, delivery to the warehouse and international shipping. One haul can mix Taobao, Tmall, 1688 and Weidian with Dewu (POIZON), Pinduoduo and JD.com links.

Key takeaways

  • A haul spreads one international shipping cost over several items. That is where most of the saving comes from.
  • The 100-day free storage window is your haul deadline. Note the date your first item arrives.
  • Check the 5 free QC photos for every item before you ship; problems are much harder to fix after the parcel leaves China.
  • For Black Friday (27 November), Cyber Monday (30 November) or Christmas, work back from the date you need the parcel. Ask customer service for the delivery estimate for your route.
  • Shipping prices, delivery times and returns depend on your order. Please contact Fishgoo customer service first to confirm.

How a Fishgoo haul works

StageWhat happensWhat you payYour decision
1. OrderYou paste each product link into Fishgoo and pay for the item.Item price + delivery to the warehouse (0% service fee)Size, colour, quantity
2. ArrivalEach seller sends the item to Fishgoo’s China warehouse. Items arrive at different times.Nothing extraWait; keep shopping
3. QCEach item is photographed at the warehouse: 5 free QC photos.Nothing for the 5 free photosApprove, or contact customer service about a problem
4. StorageApproved items wait in the warehouse, free for 100 days.Nothing within 100 daysWhen to stop adding items
5. ShipYou choose which items go together and pick a route from 2,000+.International shippingRoute: price vs speed

You pay in two stages: the items first, then shipping once the parcel is packed and weighed. Our step-by-step Fishgoo guide shows each screen.

The 100-day haul window

Free storage lasts 100 days, which sets the deadline for your haul. These examples show day 100 if you count from the date the first item arrives. Please contact Fishgoo customer service first to confirm how the 100 days are counted for your items.

First item arrivesDay 100 falls onGood for
21 October 202629 January 202711.11 buys, collected through December
1 November 20269 February 202711.11 and Black Friday buys in one parcel
10 November 202618 February 202711.11 plus 12.12 buys, shipped after the holidays

The window helps on cost, not on speed. If you need something by a certain date, ship it in an earlier, smaller parcel rather than waiting for the full haul.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas planner

The real peak for overseas shoppers is late November to December. Delivery times depend on the route and change in peak season, so this planner uses your own numbers instead of guesses.

StepWhat to find outWhere
1The date you need the parcel (e.g. 27 Nov Black Friday, 30 Nov Cyber Monday, a date before 25 Dec)Your plan
2The current delivery estimate for your route and countryAsk Fishgoo customer service
3How long packing takes before the parcel leaves the warehouseAsk Fishgoo customer service
4Ship-by date = the date you need it − delivery estimate − packing time − a few spare daysCalculate
5Last order date = ship-by date − the time sellers take to reach the warehouse − time for QCCalculate; the slowest seller sets it

Check the Chinese sale dates too: our Taobao sale calendar 2026 lists the 2026 sale dates.

What to put in one haul, and what to ship separately

ItemPut it in the main haul?Why
Clothes, accessories, small light itemsYesThey add little weight, so sharing one shipping cost helps most
Something you need by a fixed dateNo, ship it earlierWaiting for the rest of the haul can make it late
Heavy or bulky items (boots, coats, homeware)Check firstThey can push the parcel into a more expensive weight or size band
Batteries, liquids, powders, branded goodsCheck firstSome routes do not accept them; ask customer service which routes do
Items still waiting for an answer on QCNot yetSort out the problem before the parcel is packed

QC checklist for the 5 free photos
