The Yupoo glossary: what the abbreviations actually mean
Batch codes, "1:1", "N", "S", "free gifts", "with box", "in stock" — a short dictionary for the vocabulary that appears in captions and forum threads.

Batch and version words
Version letters are seller-side shorthand for a production run. They are useful because they let you compare the same silhouette across albums, and dangerous because nothing guarantees the letter means the same thing twice.
Listing words
Caption vocabulary is mostly about what comes in the box and how fast it moves: "with box", "no box", "in stock", "pre-order", "restock".
Logistics words
Freight vocabulary is where the cost decisions live: "actual weight", "volumetric", "DDP", "DDU", "tax-free line", "sensitive line".
