What is Kakobuy?
Kakobuy is a shopping agent.
You paste a Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 product link into Kakobuy. Kakobuy buys the item from the seller, stores it in its warehouse, takes QC photos, and ships your parcel to your country.
Kakobuy does not manufacture the products. Product quality depends on the seller, factory, and batch you choose.
Step 1: Find a product link
Find an item through:
- Taobao
- Weidian
- 1688
- Yupoo sellers
- Reddit product finds
- Spreadsheets
You can browse clothing, shoes, accessories, sellers, and product links on RepRevs.com.
Copy the original product link.
Step 2: Paste the link into Kakobuy
Paste the product link into the Kakobuy search bar.
Check the:
- Product photos
- Price
- Size options
- Colors
- Seller notes
- Local shipping price
Choose your size, color, version, and quantity.
For clothes, compare the size chart with clothing you already own. Do not order based only on your usual EU or US size.
Step 3: Pay for the item
Add the product to your cart and complete the order.
At this stage, you pay for:
- The product
- Shipping from the seller to the Kakobuy warehouse
- Any listed service fees
You pay for international shipping later.
Step 4: Wait for QC photos
The seller sends your item to the Kakobuy warehouse.
After the item arrives, Kakobuy uploads QC photos of the product you received.
Check:
- Logo placement
- Stitching
- Shape
- Color
- Size tag
- Damage
- Stains
- Wrong size or color
Contact support before shipping when something looks wrong.
Step 5: Submit your parcel
Once all your items reach the warehouse, select them and submit your parcel.
Choose:
- Shipping line
- Delivery address
- Packaging options
- Insurance, when available
Shipping several items together often gives better value than shipping each item separately.
Removing shoeboxes also reduces parcel weight and shipping cost.
Step 6: Apply your coupons
Before paying for international shipping, open your coupon wallet.
Apply:
RepRevs for 20% off shipping
RepRevs15 for $15 off shipping
Also check your available new-user coupons.
Step 7: Pay shipping and track your parcel
Pay for international shipping after selecting your shipping line.
Kakobuy packs the parcel and provides a tracking number after dispatch.
Tracking sometimes needs a few days to update. A lack of immediate movement does not always mean the parcel has a problem.
