How to use Kakobuy and this Spreadsheet, step by step

The official tutorial counts eight steps from find to doorstep. This walkthrough keeps their numbering and adds the one thing the tutorial skips: the Chinese you meet at each step.

Step 01 / 08

Select the product

商品链接 · product link

Use a seller URL, image search or keyword. Save the original listing so you can compare its specifications with the request. The official illustrations begin with copying and pasting a URL, then show image and keyword search.

Submit the purchase request

颜色分类 · variant / 尺码 · size / 备注 · remark

Read the actual option text, quantity and measurement chart. A product photo may show several pieces while the selected row sells one. If a manual Fill & Buy request is needed, record the source URL and exact specification and check its service terms.

Choose the option, size and quantity before submitting.

Step 03 / 08

Pay for goods and domestic delivery

Step 04 / 08

Follow purchase and seller dispatch

已采购 · purchased / 已发货 · dispatched

Kakobuy reviews the request and orders from the seller. If stock or price changes, read the message before agreeing to a substitute or supplement. Review and domestic transit times vary; the older tutorial’s examples are not promises.

The purchase request moves through the agent to the seller and warehouse.

Step 05 / 08

Inspect and store the item

已入库 · in storage

Compare the warehouse photos with the selected variant and listing. Read visible labels and request a specific measurement or detail when needed. Visual QC cannot establish every hidden defect, function or authenticity. Check the eligible return window promptly.

Submit and pay for international shipping

提交运输 · submit shipment

Select the items whose QC you have reviewed, confirm the address and packing, choose an eligible route and review the second payment. Net item weight is not always the packed chargeable weight. Check current restrictions, cover and any coupon conditions.

Step 07 / 08

Follow packing and outbound tracking

物流 · logistics / 追踪 · tracking

The warehouse packs and dispatches the parcel. Read any final weight or balance adjustment and keep the parcel reference. A gap between scans alone does not establish loss; use the actual tracking record when asking support.

How to use the tools on this site

Three tools live here, all built for the same minute of hesitation. The order-line decoder on the home page replays an illustrative order row; tap each Chinese field and it answers with the literal meaning, the practical meaning, and the next detail to check.

The phrase lookup holds the stock sentences sellers and support actually type, searchable by picking the phrase that resembles what you received. It answers with a translation and a suggested reply.

And the dictionary tables are sorted by garment group with romanisation throughout, so a word glimpsed in a QC photo tag or a chat window can be matched by shape. Paste any Chinese term into the home-page search bar and the catalogue answers with product results; the English column works there too.
