About Hat Rack: the pickers, the referral income and the dated edits

Hat Rack is an independent site: AllChinaBuy has no hand in running, funding or reviewing it, and nothing here speaks for AllChinaBuy.

Who chooses the picks on this rack

Hat Rack is kept by a small editorial team that builds product catalogue guides for buyers who shop from China through agents. The people who pick the cards also write the record pages, so the person deciding a cap belongs on the first hook is the same person who reads an agent's fee page.

We are not an agent, we hold no stock and we take no orders. We have not handled the items on these hooks; our picks come from reading listings and their photos, and every card says so by giving its date. When we test something ourselves, such as loading AllChinaBuy's homepage or opening an agent's account-creation page, the page says what we did and when.

This independent catalogue cannot access agent accounts, orders, parcels or refunds. For an AllChinaBuy order, use the service-email or online-service entry shown on AllChinaBuy’s own site; their presence does not establish a response time.

Referral income and the cards we refuse to hang

This site earns money in two ways, both through links. Each agent link in the comparison on the AllChinaBuy record page includes a referral code of ours, and an agent may pay us when someone registers through it. Catalogue links add a small campaign label to the address, so the catalogue can count visits sent from Hat Rack. Neither changes what we write about an item or an agent.

We leave off a few things on purpose. We do not name makers on cards. We do not rank items or agents, since nothing we can observe would order them fairly. We give no advice on customs declarations. And we do not set out to list goods made to pass as another company's trademarked product; a card that turns out to be one comes down.

All prices are the catalogue's displayed figures on the date shown. We do not invent figures, and where a page we read gave no number, we say so.

How the catalogue snapshot was taken

On 20 October 2026 we pulled candidate listings for six shelves from the catalogue's search, reviewed 144 of them on contact boards and picked forty-nine. For each pick we saved the cover photo and a second listing photo, the displayed price, the date and the listing address, then wrote the card text ourselves.

The same day we loaded AllChinaBuy's homepage and recorded what it showed, opened the account-creation pages of the four agents on the record page, and read OOTDBuy's fee and storage notices. The LoongBuy, RizzitGO and JoyaGoo entries come from our records of their public pages, dated 10 October 2026 for LoongBuy and 17 October 2026 for the other two, and each entry says which date applies. AllChinaBuy's fees and rules come from copies of its help centre dated 4 August 2026 and from its interface text archived in 2025 and early 2026.

The photos on this site are the sellers' own catalogue photos. The charts and diagrams are drawn by this site from the figures on the page they illustrate.

Changes to the rack, dated

Last updated 20 October 2026. This version of Hat Rack was built from scratch on that date: five hooks, forty-nine picks, the pick deck, and dated record pages on AllChinaBuy's costs and status. It replaces an earlier version of the site in full; none of the earlier text was kept.

Changes from here on are listed in this section with their date and what moved: prices refreshed, cards removed, corrections made. A price change on a single card is not logged; a rebuild of the hooks is.

20 October 2026: first build of this version, catalogue pulled and AllChinaBuy status recorded the same day.
