Haul Spreadsheet Guide

Learn the basics of shopping spreadsheets, how to use sheet categories, compare prices and sizes, view QC photo references, and avoid common beginner mistakes.

What is a Shopping Spreadsheet?

A shopping spreadsheet is a community-curated agent product list, typically containing multiple rows of product information. Each row may include product name, price, size options, seller notes, and product links. These spreadsheets help buyers compare multiple products in one place and understand basic information before deciding whether to visit a specific link.

Differences Between Spreadsheets, Sheets, and Product Links

A spreadsheet usually refers to the entire file or database, a sheet is a single page or worksheet within it, and a product link is a URL that points directly to a specific product page. In everyday use, "spreadsheet" and "sheet" are often used interchangeably, but understanding their differences helps you more accurately understand resource structure.

Product links open product detail pages directly, while spreadsheet links may point to a specific row in a spreadsheet. Both can be used together: spreadsheets for bulk comparison, links for direct product viewing.

How to Use Spreadsheet Categories

Most spreadsheets are organized by category, such as shoes, hoodies, jackets, bags, accessories, etc. When using categories, first determine which category you are interested in, then look at subcategories within that category (such as sneakers vs casual shoes). Note that different agents may use different category names; "shoes" in one spreadsheet might be called "footwear" in another.

  • Start with broad categories, then dig into subcategories
  • Note category naming differences across spreadsheets
  • Use the spreadsheet's filter function to quickly locate items

How to Compare Price, Size, Weight, and Seller Notes

The price column in a spreadsheet typically shows the reference price, but note that prices may change over time. The size column may show size ranges or specific measurements; it is recommended to confirm with the size chart on the product page. Weight information helps estimate shipping costs, especially when combining multiple items.

Seller notes may contain information about materials, fit, special instructions, etc. Reading notes helps you understand the detailed condition of the product, but note that notes are for reference only; the product page is the final authority.

How QC Photo References Can Help

QC photos show the actual condition of items in the warehouse, including color, material, workmanship, and size. By viewing QC photo references, you can verify whether the product matches the description before shipping. This is very helpful for judging whether the product meets expectations.

Common Beginner Mistakes

  • Placing an order without checking link validity
  • Ignoring size charts and choosing based on daily size
  • Not viewing QC photo references
  • Not considering shipping weight and costs
  • Treating spreadsheet information as absolute guarantees without verifying

Why Spreadsheet References Are For Reference Only, Not Absolute Guarantees

Spreadsheets are maintained by the community, and information may change over time. Links may become invalid, prices may be updated, and inventory may sell out. In addition, product quality may vary across different batches. Therefore, spreadsheet information should be used as a reference to help you narrow down your choices, but final decisions should be based on your own verification and judgment.
