New to KakoBuy? This step-by-step guide walks you through finding the best finds, checking QC photos, and placing your first haul order with confidence.
What Is the KakoBuy Spreadsheet?
The KakoBuy Spreadsheet is a community-curated database of products available through the KakoBuy shopping agent. Unlike browsing Weidian or Taobao directly — which requires Chinese language skills and a local payment method — the spreadsheet organizes thousands of verified finds into clean categories with pricing, QC notes, and direct agent links.
Think of it as a curated catalog built by real buyers who have already done the hard work: sourcing the item, placing the order, receiving QC photos, and approving shipment. Every product you see here has been through that process at least once. The result is a shortcut that saves you hours of searching and dramatically reduces the risk of ordering something that doesn't match the listing photos.
The spreadsheet covers 11 categories — Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear, Jersey, Accessories, and Others — with thousands of active listings updated regularly by the community.

- 9Track your package and receive your haul!
Understanding Pricing: CNY to USD
All prices on the KakoBuy Spreadsheet are displayed in USD for convenience, converted from the original Chinese Yuan (CNY) price at approximately 6.2 CNY per USD. This means a ¥200 item shows as roughly $32 on the spreadsheet.
However, your final cost on KakoBuy will include:
Service fee: KakoBuy charges a small percentage as their agent fee (typically 5-10% depending on your membership tier).
Domestic shipping: The cost to ship from the seller to KakoBuy's warehouse in China. Usually ¥5-20 depending on item size.
International shipping: The biggest variable. Costs range from $15 for economy sea freight to $60+ for express DHL, depending on package weight and destination.
A good rule of thumb: budget 30-50% on top of the product price to cover all fees and shipping. So a $30 product might realistically cost $40-45 all-in with standard shipping.

Community Tips for First-Time Buyers
The KakoBuy w2c community has accumulated years of collective wisdom. Here are the most important tips from experienced buyers:
Start small: Your first order should be 1-3 items maximum. This lets you learn the process without risking a large investment.
Join the community: The Telegram and Discord channels linked on this site are invaluable resources. Post your QC photos for feedback before approving shipment.
Don't rush QC: Take your time reviewing QC photos. Once you approve shipment, there's no going back. If something looks wrong, request a refund or replacement before shipping.
Consolidate your haul: If you're ordering multiple items, wait for all of them to arrive at the KakoBuy warehouse before shipping together. This saves significantly on international shipping costs.
Keep records: Screenshot your orders, QC photos, and tracking numbers. If anything goes wrong, you'll need this documentation.
