Kakobuy is an established shipping agent used by a large number of buyers, and it works like other agents: it buys the item on your behalf, receives it in its warehouse, shows you photos and then ships it to you. It is not a shop of its own, so the quality of what arrives depends on the seller you picked, not on Kakobuy. Always check the QC photos before you pay for shipping.

How do I use Kakobuy?

Create a free account, paste an item link (or open one of the links from this site, which already contains the item), pick size and colour, and pay for the item. When it reaches the warehouse you get QC photos, then you choose a shipping line and pay shipping separately.

Why are there two payments?

Agents split the cost: first the item price plus the domestic fee, then the international shipping once the parcel is weighed. That is why the price shown on a find is the item price only — shipping depends on weight, size and the line you choose.

What does consolidation mean?

If you order several items, the warehouse can pack them into one parcel. One parcel is normally much cheaper than several small ones, so buyers usually wait until they have a few items before shipping.

Kakobuy guide

Kakobuy is a shipping agent: it buys items from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, holds them in a warehouse, photographs them, and forwards them to your address. This guide covers how the process works step by step, what you pay and when, and the details that decide whether an order goes smoothly.

What Kakobuy actually does

Most Chinese marketplaces do not ship internationally, so an agent stands in between. You give Kakobuy the item link; Kakobuy places the order domestically, receives the parcel, and stores it for you until you decide to ship.

That means Kakobuy is a logistics service, not a store. It does not choose or make the products. Everything on this site is a link to a marketplace listing that Kakobuy can order for you.

Ordering step by step

1. Create a free account. 2. Open a find from this site — the item is already loaded, so you only pick size and colour. 3. Pay the item price. 4. Wait for the item to arrive at the warehouse. 5. Review the QC photos. 6. Pick a shipping line and pay shipping.

The two-stage payment is normal for every agent. Nothing ships until you approve it and pay the second half.

Shipping, weight and consolidation

International shipping is quoted from the packed parcel's weight and volume, so the same item can cost different amounts to ship depending on how bulky it is. Shoes and jackets are heavy; t-shirts are cheap to send.

Consolidation is where the savings are: several items packed as one parcel cost far less than the same items sent separately. Most experienced buyers build up a few items in the warehouse first, then ship once.

QC photos

Before shipping you get photos of the actual item that arrived. Check stitching, logos, colour and size labels here — this is the point where you can decide not to ship something, rather than after it has crossed a border.

Coupons and fees

Kakobuy runs shipping coupons and new-user offers that change over time, so rather than quote numbers that go stale, check the current offers on your account dashboard after signing up.
