Kakobuy Spreadsheet: browse finds with the next cost check in mind

Sixteen shelves, each a category page of picks you can browse. They are grouped by the part of the bill that matters most for that kind of item, so you know what to check before you add it to your cart.

How to read a shelf before you buy from it

Each card does one thing: it takes you to a category page of products. Find something you like there, open the listing, and copy its product link. Paste that link into the Kakobuy search bar and the agent shows the item with its yuan price, the seller's variants and an order button. That is the whole hand-off.

The small grey line under each card title is the part of this guide that matters. It names the lever that bites hardest for that category. Hoodies and denim are about packed weight; jewelry and caps are about the rate, because they weigh so little that freight barely moves; watches and gadgets are about which lines will take a battery at all.

None of the cards promise a price. Prices live on the seller's listing and change without notice.

Bulky shelves: weight and volume first

Sneakers, jackets, hoodies, denim, joggers and bags share one trait: the parcel gets heavy or large faster than the yuan total grows. That pushes consolidation and line choice above the rate markup.

Two things are worth knowing before you fill a cart from these shelves. First, volume weight: the help centre calculates it as length times width times height in centimetres divided by 5,000 (or 6,000, 7,000 or 8,000 depending on the carrier), and charges whichever is larger, real or volume weight. A shoe box is mostly air. Second, the pre-pack weigh-in at ¥18 tells you the packed weight before you pay freight, and you can ask for packaging changes such as removing shoe boxes in the remarks.

If you buy two or more pieces from these shelves, read the consolidation page first.

Small items: check the minimum parcel charge too

Low item weight does not automatically mean cheap delivery. A line may bill a minimum weight, and packaging can add volume. Compare the full basket’s converted item price with a suitable parcel quote.

For clothing, a measurement mismatch can matter more than a small freight difference. Check the size chart first. For jewelry and accessories, inspect material claims and included packaging rather than inferring quality from a catalogue photo.

Battery and liquid shelves: check the line before the price

Watches, earbuds, speakers and fragrance narrow your choice of line before price comes into it. On the US estimator of 10 October 2026, EUB was marked as taking no batteries and no perfume, while Cosmetics Air Express was marked as taking batteries and liquids and happened to be the lowest bookable price that day.

That coincidence will not hold for every country or every week. The rule that does hold: read each line's notes for the words battery, electrified or liquid before you compare prices, and expect the estimator's list to shrink when you change the goods type. Line choice covers this.

Searching outside the shelves

The search box on the home page looks across all categories at once. It suits women's picks in particular, which run across tops, outerwear and bags rather than sitting in one category. Search results and category pages behave the same way: open a listing, copy its link, paste it into Kakobuy.

Kakobuy's own keyword search only covers 1688, Taobao, Tmall and JD, according to its tutorial page. Links from Weidian, Yupoo, Xianyu and similar sources go through its Fill and Buy form, where you type the price and domestic shipping yourself. The form's disclaimer says those third-party links get no after-sales service and cannot be cancelled once paid, which is worth reading before you rely on one.

Turn a find into a purchase checklist

Open the live seller listing from the catalogue, then record the exact colour, size, quantity and domestic shipping charge. Read the size chart and accepted-goods rules before copying the URL into Kakobuy. Return to the illustrated guide when you are ready to place the request.
