Rehearse Kakobuy's six intake stations before your seller hands the box to a courier
Answer seven questions about a box you bought yourself. Each station returns the rule Kakobuy has published for that case, and flags the places where the box can stop.
Describe the box
Your six stations appear here once every question has an answer. Nothing is sent anywhere; the check-in runs in this page.
What each answer changes
The outer packaging question drives the first station, because Kakobuy's signing rule turns on it: parcels whose packaging is damaged on arrival, or that fall short of the signing standard, are not signed for. If the seller's box looks weak in their photos, ask for a sturdier one before they ship. The tracking number question sits beside it, since a transfer order needs the courier's number to match the box to your account.
The contents question touches three stations. Batteries, liquids and powders bring in the transport-requirement rule and help article 48's list of sensitive items, such as essential oil, lubricants, batteries and glue, which the warehouse may remove. Electrical goods and sealed collectibles change what the check covers. Breakables and oversize goods change how the box is repacked.
The transfer order question decides the storage clock, which is the most expensive mistake to make: a box with an order follows the normal storage period, while a box with no order becomes a special case with 60 days on the clock. The piece counts and the last question shape the waybill station.
The sentences behind each station
Every sentence the check-in shows is copied from Kakobuy's help centre, with the article number beside it so you can open the original. The core is help article 95, the transit inspection rule, captured below as it read on November 10, 2026. Signing and prohibited goods come from article 52, the unmatched-parcel rule from 96, the late-details route from 92, mixed waybills from 94, storage from 1 and 120, the transfer compensation cap from 112, commercial parcels from 21 and sensitive items from 48.
All of those articles were opened again on the morning this page was built and checked line for line against the copies we saved on October 10, 2026. None had changed. If Kakobuy edits one later, the check-in can lag behind; the article itself is the authority, and the link next to each quote takes you there.
What the check-in leaves out
It does not count days. Help article 52 says the domestic leg normally takes three to five days, and the check-in repeats that sentence, but it will not put a date on your box. It also does not add money. Help article 6 lists the charges on a transfer bill by name, and the waybill station repeats those names, but freight depends on the line you choose on the day.
It will not tell you whether to buy a listing yourself or let Kakobuy buy it; that depends on your accounts and how much of the seller conversation you want to handle. Kakobuy's own tools cover the rest. Its shipping estimator under Estimate on kakobuy.com gives line prices for a weight and destination, and its image search on the homepage search bar finds listings from a photo. Neither needs this site.
