Why this agent, and why this Kakobuy Spreadsheet

What every agent in this market already does

Before anything that distinguishes this one: a domestic address, a domestic payment method, warehouse receipt, consolidation, photographs, and an onward international leg. These are common agent services, though availability and conditions differ between operators. Treat those as the entry requirements rather than as selling points.

The policy that decides how any guide may describe this market

The operator publishes an anti-counterfeiting policy stating that products sold through the platform must be authentic, that selling non-authentic products is strictly prohibited, and that it may suspend accounts, dispose of inauthentic goods and withhold payments. It also names an address for reports.

That single page decides what this site can honestly be. A guide to this operator cannot be built around replica shopping, because the operator forbids it in writing. The older marketing pages that still sit on some domains in this space were written before anyone read that policy.

What is genuinely different here

Three things are specific and checkable. The free storage window is 100 days from the In storage status under the normal policy; abnormal unmatched parcels have a 60-day period from Signed for. The service fee is zero and that held up under independent measurement in October 2026, when the measured conversion markup of 8.5% sat below the middle of a 31-agent sample. And two legal entities are published, one with a company number.

Where it is ordinary: the inspection scope is appearance only with the usual exclusions, and the routes are mostly third-party lines that the operator itself says adjust with the market.

When you should use a different agent

If you are buying electronics and authenticity matters, no appearance check will help you, here or anywhere, so buy from a channel that offers functional testing or accept the risk knowingly.

For a light US parcel, compare available routes for the actual weight and goods. Some routes have minimum weights, while the retained official example did include an available $38.07 option at 1 kg. No historical example establishes today’s cheapest agent.

And if you need same-day support in a timezone far from UK office hours, the live chat window of 9am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday may be the deciding constraint.

The structural things that do not show up in a comparison table

Buyer hours are 09:00–18:00 Monday–Sunday for Taobao, Tmall, JD, Weidian, Yupoo and Xianyu; other third-party platforms use Monday–Friday. Appearance QC does not establish authenticity or electronic function. For 1688 cartons, the retained guidance counts boxes rather than guaranteeing the piece count inside each box.

None of those is hidden. All three are published in the help centre, and all three are the kind of thing a comparison table has no column for. They matter more than a two-dollar difference in freight.

The retained CNY 18 pre-packing service provides packing and weight information before final shipment decisions. It can help compare routes, but it does not guarantee savings; confirm current options and charges.

Why this guide rather than another one

Three commitments, each of which you can check in under a minute. The 22 figure entries carry the grade of their source. Time-sensitive examples carry their retained date. And where the operator's own pages disagree, both versions are printed side by side rather than the flattering one being quoted alone.

The source notes distinguish genuine unresolved differences from separate services or different recipient requirements. For example, PayPal articles give different rates, while the two-day carrier and 72-hour support reporting windows describe separate actions.

What this site will not tell you

The founding year is not established by the retained official sources. Profile dates, footer copyright years and old help-article dates are not interchangeable founding-date claims. The included intake QC-photo count is also not established.

When a number cannot be established, confirm it with the operator rather than choosing the most attractive interpretation.

One figure moved the other way. This page used to list the warehouse city as undisclosed. It is Xiamen, written into three help articles about seller dispatch and inbound forwarding rather than anywhere you would look for it. The full address still only appears in your account once an order exists.
