PonyBuy Spreadsheet HaulPartner guide to the parcel, not the purchase

Who runs this guide and how to reach us

PonyBuy Spreadsheet Haul is written and maintained by the PonyBuy Spreadsheet Haul editorial desk. We are a partner of PonyBuy, not PonyBuy, and not any of the marketplaces it buys from.

The site covers one step: what happens between your items arriving at the warehouse and a parcel arriving at your door. Sister guides in the same family cover finding items and reading listings; this one deliberately does not.

The second band of the PonyBuy responsibility table, covering the cases put on the seller: the wrong product shipped, and quality problems such as holes and stains.
PonyBuy publishes who carries the cost in each situation. This guide appears in none of the columns, which is the shortest way to say what a partner site is and is not.

What we are and what we are not

Stated plainly so there is nothing to work out from context.

The bar across the top of ponybuy.com, laid over the night flight photograph: the PonyBuy wordmark, then Home, Affiliate, Estimation and a Help dropdown, with an English - USD switcher, a cart icon and Login and Sign up buttons on the right.

We are a partner site

Links to ponybuy.com are partner links. That is how the guide is paid for. It does not change what gets written: where the service is weak we say so, and where the official documentation is wrong we say that too. The arithmetic slip in the combining example is on the home page for exactly that reason.

The PonyBuy Top Up dialog: an amount field in CNY showing an equivalent of 0.00 dollars, a yellow notice that the maximum top up amount is 6,400 CNY, four preset amounts of 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 yuan, and Cancel and Confirm buttons.

We are not the agent

We hold no stock, take no payments, weigh nothing and pack nothing. Money goes into a PonyBuy balance through the dialog above; the preset amounts and the 6,400 CNY ceiling in it are the operator's own sample screen, and the ceiling can be changed by PonyBuy without telling us. We cannot see your orders, change a route, release a parcel or issue a refund. Anything account specific has to go to PonyBuy customer service.

A confirmation panel on PonyBuy, cropped and dated the same way as every other figure here. The caption says what is on the screen and stops there. Nothing on this site is a drawing of how we imagine the interface works.

How the content is produced

Every factual claim on this site traces to a PonyBuy help centre article that was opened, rendered and read in full. Nineteen of them for this build. Pages are written from those articles rather than from other guides, which is why the emphasis here is different from the emphasis anywhere else.

Numbers carry the date they were checked. Every figure on this site is a crop of a screenshot we took ourselves of the live PonyBuy site or its help centre, dated, and captioned with what is actually on screen rather than what it stands for. Nothing here is a drawing of how we imagine it works. Where an official page is behind a login, we say that instead of describing an interface we have not seen.

We do not publish delivery estimates, tax outcomes, or claims about whether a parcel will clear customs. Nobody can know those in advance, including the agent.

Corrections

If a number here has moved, a link no longer opens what it says, or we have described something you know first hand to be wrong, tell us. Corrections go into the update log with the date, including the ones that make us look careless.

Takedown requests and partnership questions reach the same address.

Time, Category, Transaction No. and Remark. A correction log wants the same four things: what changed, when, and enough of a reference that somebody else can check it. The movements shown are the operator's own sample account.
