Hipobuy is a shipping agent. It orders items from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, receives them at its warehouse, photographs them, and forwards them to your address once you pay for international shipping.

Is Hipobuy safe to use?

It works on the same model as other agents: your money buys a specific listing, the parcel is held in a warehouse, and you see photos before anything is shipped. The main risk in this kind of order is the seller you chose, not the agent — which is why the QC photo step matters.

How is Hipobuy different from Kakobuy?

They are separate companies with their own fee structures, shipping lines and coupons, and item prices for the same listing can differ. That is exactly why every find on this site shows both, so you can pick whichever is cheaper on the day.

Do I need a separate Hipobuy account?

Yes. Each agent has its own account, balance and parcels. Signing up takes under a minute and new users usually land on Hipobuy's current welcome coupons.

How Hipobuy works

You give Hipobuy a marketplace link, it places the domestic order for you, receives the parcel in its warehouse, and holds it. When you are ready you pick a shipping line and pay for international shipping separately from the item price.

Because it is an agent and not a shop, the item itself comes from the marketplace seller — Hipobuy handles buying, storage, photos and forwarding.

Two payments, not one

First you pay the item price. Later, once the parcel is at the warehouse and weighed, you pay shipping. The prices shown on our finds are item prices only, since shipping depends on weight, volume and the line you pick.

Consolidation and QC

Several items can be packed into one parcel, which is almost always cheaper than shipping them one by one. Before shipping you get photos of what actually arrived, so you can check size labels, stitching and colour while the parcel is still in China.

When to pick Hipobuy

Compare the item price against the other agents on the same find — it is not always the same number. Hipobuy also runs its own welcome coupons for new accounts, so a first order can land cheaper there even when the listed item price is similar.
