A daigou (which means to buy on behalf of) is anyone outside China who shops on behalf of a China resident.
“Typically, daigous are students who are studying overseas, Chinese tourists or people who have migrated from China and are living in Australia,” the company said last year in its prospectus.
Often Daigou are Chinese students studying in Australia who buy here and on-sell into China via platforms such as Alibaba, JD.com and Tencent.
