The W2C Masterclass: Where to Cop Every Item on Your List
W2C (Where to Cop) is the most common question in streetwear communities. This guide transforms you from someone who asks W2C into someone who answers it. Learn the exact methods used by veterans to find any item through shopping agents.
The Search Hierarchy
Follow this search order for maximum efficiency:
- USFans Spreadsheet: Start here. If the item exists in our database, you have instant access to verified links, pricing, and reviews.
- Image Search: Screenshot the item and use your agent's image search feature. Most agents support reverse image search that finds visually similar products.
- Keyword Search: Search the agent marketplace using brand + model + key detail (e.g., "Jordan 1 Travis Scott Olive").
- Community Request: Post in community channels with a clear photo. Veteran users often recognize items immediately.
Capture Clear Reference Images
Save 3-5 high-quality images of the exact item from different angles. Include close-ups of logos, tags, and unique details.
Extract Key Identifiers
Note the brand, model name, colorway, season/year, and any unique design elements. The more specific your search terms, the better your results.
Search USFans First
Use our category filters and search function. Look for items with matching images in the QC gallery.
Use Image Search on Agent
Upload your reference image to the agent's image search. Review the top 10 matches for visual similarity.
Verify Before Ordering
Compare the agent listing photos with your reference. Check ratings and recent reviews. Request HD QC photos after ordering.
Advanced Search Techniques
For hard-to-find or rare items:
- Search by product code: Nike and major brands use 9-digit style codes. Searching "CW2288-111" is more precise than "white air force 1."
- Search by factory name: Some sellers list factory names rather than brand names. Try searching the factory + model description.
- Use Chinese keywords: Translate key terms to Chinese for broader search results. "特斯拉斯科特" (Travis Scott) often yields more results than the English name.

About this guide and shopping through agents
Look for similar items from the same brand or style family. Many items are seasonal and sell out quickly. The USFans spreadsheet tracks restocks and alternative sellers.
Image search works best for items with distinct visual elements. Plain items like basic tees are harder to match visually. Use brand + material + color keywords instead.
Spend 15-20 minutes using the hierarchy above. If you still cannot find it, post a W2C request with all the details you have gathered. Show your work; the community helps those who try first.
Yes. The W2C concept applies to any item. Many community members also help find retail items on sale, vintage pieces, and alternative brands with similar aesthetics.
