Step 1
Open the Spreadsheet
Open the CSSBuy Spreadsheet. Start on the main spreadsheet page and review the available categories. Every category remains available even without filtering.
Six practical steps
How to Use the CSSBuy Spreadsheet
Follow a simple process for browsing the verified categories, comparing useful details and choosing the right checked spreadsheet route. The guide is written for UK visitors.
A Step-by-Step Spreadsheet Guide
Use the review notes first, then open the checked category route that best matches the item you want to find.
Step 2
Choose the Closest Category
Select the product group that matches the item you want to research. Use the category notes to decide which dimensions, specifications or visible details matter.
Step 3
Read the Review Notes
Check the suggested measurements, specifications, visible details and category-specific considerations before opening another website.
Step 4
Review Available QC Information
Use QC photos as supporting evidence, not as a complete guarantee. Compare photographed measurements with an item you already know.
Step 5
Open the Verified Category
Use the clearly labelled spreadsheet link to open the checked category route in a separate tab.
Step 6
Confirm UK Delivery Information
Review route availability, parcel restrictions, estimated delivery information and final costs on the external platform.
Before You Continue
Pause at the external destination and make a current, item-specific check. The spreadsheet helps to organise research; it cannot settle the points below for you.
- Correct size and actual measurements
- Current availability and current price
- External seller information
- Available delivery route
- Restricted-item rules
- Return or support terms
- Visible QC details
Why the final check matters
External pages can change independently. A category link may remain active while an individual listing, price, delivery route or policy changes.
Confirming the current page reduces the risk of relying on information that applied at an earlier time or to a different route.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Most avoidable errors come from treating one clue as if it answered every question.
Choosing only by thumbnail
A thumbnail cannot establish dimensions, material, compatibility or condition. Open the relevant information and compare it deliberately.
Ignoring measurements
Generic size labels vary. Use centimetres and compare the same measurement points with an item that already fits.
Treating QC photos as a guarantee
Photos show selected visible details. They cannot guarantee authenticity, material feel, durability or final fit.
Assuming every route accepts every item
Liquids, fragrance, batteries and electronics may have fewer route options than ordinary clothing.
Relying on an old price
This directory does not publish fixed prices. Check the amount, charges and currency on the current external page.
Confusing this site with CSSBuy
cssbuy.co.uk is an independent directory. It does not represent CSSBuy, process payments or control third-party content.
How We Check Spreadsheet Links
Each category route is checked for a working destination, the correct product category and clear external-domain labelling. The review is repeated monthly so broken or misleading routes can be corrected.
This verifies the spreadsheet route at the time of review. Individual listings can still change, so confirm the current item details before continuing.

UK-Specific Questions to Ask
Check whether the route accepts the item type, whether dimensions or weight affect the available service, and which costs are shown before you commit on an external platform. Do not assume a route available for clothing will also accept fragrance or batteries.
For a shorter explanation of QC limits, category coverage and link behaviour, read the CSSBuy Spreadsheet FAQ. The QC photos guide provides a visual checklist.
