About this Kakobuy Spreadsheet guide

The method, in one rule

Nothing is printed here without the grade of its source. If a figure comes from the operator's help centre, it says so and quotes the sentence. If it comes from an independent measurement, it says so and prints the month it was measured. If the operator's own pages disagree, both versions appear. If nobody publishes it, this site says that instead of guessing.

That rule costs this site some easy pages. There is no founding year here, no warehouse tour, no confident count of free photographs, and no ranking of agents. Those would all be more clickable and none of them would be checkable.

How this is paid for

Links to the catalogue and to the agent carry a referral parameter. If you register or order through one, this site may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. That is the entire business model.

Affiliate income does not change the source grade. The guide keeps inspection exclusions, payment-rate conflicts and conditional shipping examples visible. It is independent and cannot see accounts, order records or live warehouse information.

How a figure gets its grade

The test is mechanical, which is the point. If the operator published it in its own help centre or a dated announcement, it is published official guidance and its scope is recorded. If the operator published it and attached a disclaimer, it is marked for reference and the disclaimer travels with it. If somebody outside the company measured it, it is independently measured and the month of measurement is printed beside it. If the published versions disagree and none of them is dated, it is not verifiable and this site stops there.

Two rules keep the grades honest. A figure never moves up a grade because it appears in several places; the customs threshold table is quoted all over the web and is still marked for reference, because its own author says so. And a figure never moves down a grade because it is inconvenient; the zero service fee is a written policy that independent measurement confirmed, and it is printed as such.

What checking one number actually involves

Take the customs threshold table, which is the figure most often repeated elsewhere. Checking it meant opening the operator's own help article, reading the eleven country rows, and then reading the three notes printed underneath, where the sentence about the data being collected from the internet lives. A crop of just the table would have been prettier and would have hidden the only part that changes what the table means.

A historical reference table can remain online after its numbers are no longer suitable for a current decision. That is why the disclaimer must stay with the table, and why this site directs customs questions to the destination authority and current route terms.

For freight, this guide uses the dated official estimator example with its original conditions. A difference from a separate historical sample does not by itself prove why prices changed or which route is now cheapest.

Why there is no ranking here

A ranking needs a measurement that can be reproduced for every entry. For conversion rates that exists. For service quality, dispute handling and whether an agent will quietly cancel an order, it does not, and no amount of confident presentation creates it.

So this site compares one variable at a time, with the date attached, and leaves the ordering to you. That is also the honest reason it has no best agent page: the page would rank well and the ranking would be invented.

Corrections and contact

If a figure here is out of date or wrong, the fastest fix is to point at the operator page that says otherwise, because that is the evidence this site runs on. Corrections that come with a source get applied; the date beside the figure then changes too.

For order problems this site cannot help: it holds no account, sees no orders and has no access to the warehouse. Support runs 9am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday (BST), and the service address is [email protected].

Different numbers may describe different services

The normal 100-day storage policy and abnormal 60-day storage policy describe different package categories and start events. The local-carrier two-day reporting instruction and Kakobuy’s 72-hour instruction describe different recipients. Neither pair should be averaged into one deadline.

By contrast, two PayPal examples for the same fee question remain unresolved in the retained text. Check the actual payment screen instead of promoting either historical example to a universal rule. Scope comparison comes before deciding that one source is wrong.
