About Hoobuy
HooBuy is a Chinese buying agent founded in 2020, registered in both the UK (HYPERLAB TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED, London) and Hong Kong, and positioned in part as a 'DHgate alternative.' It is the most single-market-concentrated agent we've measured: according to Similarweb, Brazil accounts for about 78% of its ~510,000 monthly visits, with Portugal adding more — roughly 80% Lusophone. Its user experience scores unusually well, with the lowest bounce rate of any agent (about 19%) and the highest share of organic-search traffic (about 34%), and its social presence is YouTube- and Instagram-first, matching Brazilian habits.
HooBuy's standout feature is print-on-demand: it's the only buying agent that also offers custom POD products, letting you upload text, names, images or logos onto T-shirts, mugs, phone cases, hoodies and blankets, with no minimum order and the same QC as regular goods. On the sourcing side it supports Taobao, Tmall, 1688, JD and Weidian, and a meaningful share of users also buy second-hand goods from Goofish (Xianyu). Yupoo is its biggest referral source, so Yupoo-based rep spreadsheets fit naturally.
HooBuy charges no agent service fee; your total is the product price, international shipping and any customs charges, with a flat customs declaration fee of around ¥8. Payment options are broad for the region — credit cards, Alipay and WeChat, plus cryptocurrency via CoinPal, which is rare among agents. Storage is free for 90 days, and new users get a ¥1,000 coupon bundle. A single HooBuy spreadsheet routes Weidian, Taobao and 1688 links into one consolidated parcel.
