Will CNFans come back?

We cannot answer for it - as of 2026-10-11 our own check shows a maintenance/security notice and site-wide unavailability; restoration is the platform's own announcement to make. What you control: organise your records, watch your in-transit parcels, and line up the next agent with the five-dimension method.

How do I migrate my spreadsheet?

Product links are the portable asset: paste them one by one into the new agent's order box to rebuild your cart. BuyCN accepts pasted Taobao/1688 links directly - a one-time manual rebuild of the list is all it takes.

Can my in-transit parcel move to another agent?

Parcels already on the international leg are delivered by the carrier itself, independent of the agent site - track them on the carrier's site with the tracking number. Parcels not yet taken in are governed by the original platform's notices once service resumes. Avoid rushed moves while information is unclear; secure your records first.

What should I prepare when switching agents?

A dedicated email with two-factor authentication; then walk a small order through pay → intake → photos → international leg before moving your main hauls. Prefer payment methods with dispute protection (e.g. credit cards).

How do I quickly judge a new agent?

Run the five checks on this page: are the three fee components itemised, how many free storage days, are intake photos free with the scale visible, do refunds return to the original channel, does compensation have a published standard and deadline - platforms that answer all five publicly are far less likely to bite you.

CNFans لا يعمل في 2026: قائمة الانتقال الآمن إلى وكيل آخر

The short version

As of our own check on 2026-10-11, CNFans currently displays a maintenance/security notice and its service is unavailable site-wide; the site's own notice attributes the downtime to a security incident. This page makes no speculation about the cause or the return date. What you can do is shrink the downside: organise your records, keep an eye on in-transit parcels, and pick your next agent by transparency standards.

This is a constructive migration checklist: verifiable facts and general logistics common sense only. Prices and stock change constantly - live quotes from each platform prevail on every fee question.

In-transit parcels: the self-protection checklist

Whether or not you eventually switch agents, do these now (none of them depend on the platform coming back):

Screenshot and save every order number, tracking number and payment receipt - they are your only evidence for reconciliation, tracking and, worst case, payment-channel disputes;
Record the international-leg tracking numbers of in-transit parcels and subscribe to updates on the carrier's own site - the last mile is delivered by the carrier, independent of the agent site;
Check whether the warehouse address has changed - if you still have parcels awaiting intake, the address may differ when service resumes; trust only the platform's official notice;
Export a local copy of your product-link spreadsheet - the links themselves are your most valuable data, and any agent can re-order directly from pasted links;
Get information from official channels only (site notice, official community) and treat unverified chat rumours with caution.

Comparing agents: the five-dimension method

Use the same ruler on every candidate. All five dimensions can be verified on an agent's public pages - no insider knowledge required:

Fee transparency — Are service fee, settlement FX and freight markup each published separately? Open the checkout and look for the two hiding spots: the FX spread and the freight uplift - the more itemised the landed cost, the fewer the surprises.
Free storage — How many days free, what does overtime cost, can boxes wait for consolidation? Hoarders and multi-shop haulers should weight this heavily.
QC photos — Are intake photos free, are extra shots paid, do photos include the scale reading? Intake photos are the first line of defence against missing or wrong items.
Payments — Cards, local wallets or crypto? Do refunds go back to the original channel or only into site balance? Avoid platforms where depositing is easy but refunds are one-way.
Compensation & support — What standard applies to lost or damaged parcels, how many working days to a decision, does human support publish a response-time promise? Ask all three before you register.

The five dimensions at a glance

Dimension	What to check	Common trap
Fee transparency	Service fee / FX basis / freight markup itemised	"0 commission" but a 5%+ FX spread and freight uplift
Free storage	Free days and overtime rate published	Free only from day 3 - hoarders pay
QC photos	Free intake photos with visible scale	Paid extra shots, no weight shown
Payments	Symmetric pay and refund paths	Crypto-only top-up, refunds to balance only
Compensation SLA	Standard + decision deadline published	"At platform discretion", no deadline

This table describes common fee positions and how to verify them; it is not a quality ranking of any platform. Current prices are each platform's own.

BUYCN, self-assessed on the same five dimensions

Holding ourselves to the same ruler - the numbers below are rendered live from site settings, not hard-coded on this page:

① Service fee: waived (zero commission since 2026-10-01). ② Settlement FX: mid-market rate with no markup (zeroed since 2026-10-01). ③ Free storage: free for 90 days after intake, 90 days free storage in total, then 0.1 CNY/day. All three have published promises and evidence behind them in the transparency report and the service evidence center.

④ QC: every box gets outbound photos plus a weight recheck before dispatch, and intake photos can be supplemented free within 30 days. ⑤ Compensation & support: international loss/damage is compensated at the actual paid value (evidenced by QC photos and payment records), decisions within 5 working days of acceptance, human support replies within 2 working hours - full wording in the evidence center.

One more thing worth saying while a platform is dark: resist the urge to mass-claim refunds through payment channels before the facts are clear. Chargeback windows are long - often 120 days for card payments - and a calm, documented case built on your screenshots beats a rushed dispute filed from memory. If the platform comes back, your records make reconciliation a ten-minute job; if it does not, they are the evidence your payment provider will actually read. Patience, in this window, is a financial position, not passivity.

The migration path is simple: paste your product links one by one into the BuyCN search box to rebuild orders, and trial the freight on the shipping estimator by destination and weight. Consolidation savings are covered in our consolidation guide.

Pitfalls

Treating "site down" as "platform gone" - your records keep their value through any recovery window; organise first, decide later;
Registering at a less transparent replacement in the heat of the moment - switching agents is exactly when the five-dimension method earns its keep;
Ignoring the international-leg tracking number - it is independently trackable regardless of the agent site;
Topping up your entire budget on any new platform - walk a small order through pay → intake → dispatch first;
Trusting unverified chat rumours - this page sticks to what we could verify; restoration is the platform's own announcement to make.
