AllChinaBuy Spreadsheet: Offline, but Every Link Still Holds a Working Listing

What does AllChinaBuy's maintenance notice say?

We loaded allchinabuy.com again on September 29, 2026. The page says an ongoing hacker attack that "has not yet been fully resolved" has put the site into upgrade and maintenance to protect data, asks customers to contact support by email about orders, and gives no date. There's no login, search or order page behind it.

A short planned outage usually comes with a timeline and some way to see your orders; this has neither. rep.tools' agent ranking now lists AllChinaBuy as no longer operating, and its Trustpilot page — 4.1/5 from 215 reviews, 22% one-star — has had nothing new since June 7, 2026. We show it as offline and plan as if it won't return soon; if it does, moving your links costs you nothing.

Verdict: Treat AllChinaBuy as closed for planning purposes. Rescue the links and chase any money in writing.

How do you decode AllChinaBuy's url= links?

AllChinaBuy links look intimidating because the original address is percent-encoded inside them — %3A is a colon and %2F a slash. A typical row looks like this:

Illustrative ID. Some AllChinaBuy links carry only a platform name and an ID; the converter rebuilds those too.

1. Copy the AllChinaBuy link column from your sheet.
2. Paste it into the link converter. It decodes each line up to three times (some are double-encoded) and returns the original listing links in the same order.
3. Paste the results into a new column, then into Sugargoo's search bar one by one — or use a DIY Order for any Sugargoo doesn't recognise.
4. Check each listing is still live and priced as expected. Old AllChinaBuy sheets are often a year out of date.

Verdict: The url= part is the whole trick. Decode it once and your AllChinaBuy spreadsheet works at Sugargoo — and anywhere else.

If AllChinaBuy is holding your money or parcels

A spreadsheet can be rebuilt in an evening; money and parcels can't. If AllChinaBuy holds either:

1. Write it all down now — order numbers, items, amounts and your last known balance — and collect payment receipts from email or PayPal.
2. Email the support address on the notice, asking specifically for the status of each order and a refund of unused balance. Keep a copy.
3. Check your payment dispute window with PayPal, your card issuer or bank today; months may already have passed.
4. Ignore anyone offering to recover your balance for a fee. Upfront-fee "recovery" offers are a common follow-up scam when an agent goes dark.

At Sugargoo, the lesson carries over: refunds go back to your Sugargoo balance, so top up for the order in hand rather than holding credit.

Sugargoo as an AllChinaBuy replacement

People searched "allchinabuy spreadsheet budget" and "cheap" more than almost anything else about it, so price matters to former AllChinaBuy users. Here is how Sugargoo compares on what we can still verify:

A dash means no current AllChinaBuy source could confirm the figure.

AllChinaBuy users also tended to rely on its shipping estimate before buying. Sugargoo has the equivalent on its own site — the Shipping Fee Estimation page asks for country, category, weight and, for bulky items, dimensions — and for ¥18 its rehearsal service packs your actual parcel and reports the billable weight before you choose a line. Between the two you get a better idea of the final cost than most AllChinaBuy estimates gave, because the rehearsal measures the real box. It's worth doing on your first Sugargoo parcel just to calibrate your own estimates for next time.

If you want a second option alongside Sugargoo, KakoBuy is the fastest to dispatch, and the alternatives page ranks the rest. Avoid moving to ACBuy, which is often confused with AllChinaBuy and has its own open questions.
