What is being reported
In August 2026, posts began circulating on TikTok, in Trustpilot reviews and on blogs claiming that a Mulebuy warehouse had been raided. Some buyers described items sitting in the warehouse without moving. The reports arrived in the same weeks that CNFans and ACBuy shut down, which made many buyers assume the worst.
What has not happened matters as much. We found no official statement from Mulebuy announcing a closure or a raid, and no independent confirmation from a source outside the community posts. When status trackers checked on 31 August 2026, Mulebuy's website was still loading. That is why our agent status index lists it as "reported, unconfirmed" rather than shut down.
The raid is reported, not confirmed; treat Mulebuy as uncertain rather than closed.
Confirmed vs unconfirmed
| Claim | Status |
|---|---|
| Community posts report a warehouse raid | Confirmed: the posts exist |
| A raid actually took place | Unconfirmed |
| Buyers' items are stuck | Reported by some buyers; scale unknown |
| Mulebuy has shut down | No evidence; site loading on 31 August |
| Official statement from Mulebuy | None found |
We will update this table when something changes. If you see a newer date on the status index than on this page, the index is more current.
Only the existence of the reports is confirmed; everything else is open.
Mulebuy before August: why people used it
Mulebuy's reputation going into the summer was strong. An independent agent reviewer recorded a Trustpilot score of 4.7 out of 5 from about 2,800 reviews on 1 July 2026. Its published terms were competitive:
| Term | What Mulebuy states or reviewers report |
|---|---|
| Commission | 0% (official) |
| Free storage | 90 days (official) |
| QC photos | Free HD photos, usually within about 24 hours; around 4 to 5 per item (community-reported) |
| Reputation | Praised for QC speed and packing |
None of that tells you what is happening in its warehouse today. It does explain why so many spreadsheets were built around Mulebuy links, and why the reports caused such alarm.
Mulebuy's terms were good; the open question is operations, not policy.
How to handle Mulebuy right now
- Don't top up a balance. Money in an agent's balance is the most exposed if anything goes wrong.
- Ship what's already there. If you have items in Mulebuy's warehouse that have passed QC, submit them for shipping rather than waiting.
- Keep records. Save order histories, QC photos and payment receipts. If you paid by card or PayPal for an order that is never fulfilled, your provider's dispute process may apply.
- Order new items elsewhere for now. Use a working agent from the status index until the situation is clear.
- Watch for real confirmation. An official statement or consistent independent reports would change the picture in either direction.
Minimise what you leave with Mulebuy until the reports are resolved.
If your items are already in Mulebuy's warehouse
This is the situation buyers ask about most. There is no single right answer, because nobody outside Mulebuy knows the warehouse's real state, but a sensible order of steps reduces the risk:
- Check each item's status. Items marked as stored with QC photos can be shipped; items still "in transit to warehouse" depend on the seller.
- Submit a parcel and choose a tracked line. Tracking gives you evidence of what left the warehouse and when.
- Contact support in writing. Use the ticket system, not only Discord, so there is a record linked to your order numbers.
- Request cancellations for unshipped orders if the seller hasn't sent them yet and you no longer want to wait.
If parcels stop moving or support stops replying, collect your records and use your payment provider's dispute process for unfulfilled orders. Do that after contacting support, because an open dispute can lead an agent to restrict the account.
Ship stored items on a tracked line and put every request in writing.
Using Mulebuy spreadsheet links elsewhere
Your Mulebuy spreadsheet is not wasted, whatever happens. Each Mulebuy link contains a Taobao, Weidian or 1688 item number, and that number opens through any agent. Paste the link into the link converter or copy the number into another agent's search box, then check that the listing still matches. The Oopbuy links guide explains the link format, and the CNFans migration guide shows how to convert a whole sheet at once.
The item numbers in your Mulebuy sheet work at any agent.
How to judge rumours about any agent
Mulebuy won't be the last agent with alarming posts about it, so it helps to know what counts as evidence. A single viral video is weak evidence; many recent reviews describing the same specific problem are stronger. An official statement from the agent, or the site actually going offline, is the strongest. Equally, a working homepage doesn't prove the warehouse is shipping. Watch the signals buyers can see in their own accounts: refunds slowing, payment methods disappearing, QC photos arriving late, support going quiet. The ACBuy page lists those warning signs, and is Oopbuy legit applies the same tests to Oopbuy.
Weigh rumours by how specific, repeated and recent they are, and act on what you can see in your own account.
