About this catalogue
What this site is, what it is not, and how it is funded.
What is this site?
It is an independent product index. We collect listing links that are already public in spreadsheet catalogues and marketplace pages, organise them by category and brand, and add research notes such as QC guidance, sizing charts and shipping estimates. Everything here is for research before you buy somewhere else.

Do you sell products, hold stock or ship parcels?
No. There is no cart, no checkout and no warehouse on this site. When you decide to buy, you place the order with a shopping agent or with the seller on the source marketplace, and that company handles payment, quality-control photos, storage and shipping.

Are you connected to Kakobuy or to the source marketplaces?
No. This index is independent of the marketplaces and of every agent listed here. Agent names appear because their fee pages are public and useful for comparison, not because of a partnership, and no agent reviews or approves what we write.

How does the site make money?
Some outbound links are affiliate or referral links, which means the destination may pay us a commission if you sign up or order. This never changes the price you pay and it does not buy a better position in the index or a better verdict in a comparison table.

Do you recommend a specific seller, batch or agent?
No. We publish the questions to ask and the things to check, then let you decide. Where a page compares agents or batches it says so explicitly, and the comparison is based on published terms that change often, so always confirm the current terms on the company’s own site.
Can I save products and compare them side by side?
Yes. The heart button on any product card saves it to the Saved products panel in the corner of the screen, where you can compare saved items and export the list as a CSV file. Saved items stay in your own browser; nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
Listings, prices and accuracy
Where the data comes from, how fresh it is, and how to report a problem.
Where do the listings and prices come from?
Listings and prices are read from the public catalogue and marketplace data that the source spreadsheets expose. We do not set prices, negotiate them or verify them with the seller, so treat every number as an indication captured at the last refresh rather than a quote.
Which currency are the prices in?
Prices are shown in the currency the source listing uses, most often Chinese yuan, and an indicative conversion is added for convenience. The rate used for that conversion is a daily reference rate, not the rate your agent or card issuer will apply, so the amount you finally pay will differ slightly.

How often is the index updated?
Product data refreshes automatically as the source catalogues change, while the research pages are edited by hand and carry a visible last-updated date. A link that worked last month can be sold out today, and an out-of-stock listing sometimes returns later at a different price.
Why does the same item appear at several different prices?
Because they are usually different listings: another batch, another seller, another colourway, or the same item bundled with accessories. A higher price does not automatically mean better quality, so compare the photos, the stated weight and the size chart before comparing the number.

A link is broken or a price looks wrong. What should I do?
Tell us. Broken links, dead images, wrong categories and obviously stale prices are removed or corrected after a check, and reports are the fastest way for a catalogue of this size to stay usable. Include the page address and, if you have it, the listing name.

Why is a product page missing the price, size or weight?
Because the source listing did not publish it. We do not invent missing attributes, so a field stays empty rather than being filled with an estimate. If a measurement matters for your decision, ask the agent to confirm it on the listing before you pay.
Agents, QC, sizing and shipping
The parts of the process that happen after you pick a listing.
How do I choose a shopping agent?
Compare the service fee, the payment methods you can actually use, how long free storage lasts, how many QC photos are included, and what happens when the wrong item arrives. Fees and rules change frequently, so read the agent’s own page before you commit.

What is QC and how do I read QC photos?
QC means quality control: the agent photographs your item after it reaches their warehouse, before international shipping. Check the shape and stitching, the colour against the listing photos, the size tag, glue marks and whether both items of a pair are present, then approve or ask for an exchange.

How do I work out my size?
Measure something you already own and like, then compare those numbers with the size chart for that specific listing. Charts differ between sellers and between batches, so never assume that two size 42 shoes from two listings fit the same way.

How much will shipping cost?
Shipping is charged on chargeable weight, which is the greater of the real weight and the volumetric weight of the parcel, so a light but bulky hoodie can cost more than a heavy pair of shoes. Estimate the band first with the calculators, then confirm the exact quote in the agent’s shipping calculator.

What do batch names such as LJR, H12 or PK mean?
They identify a production run, not a certification. Two items from the same batch can still differ in stitching and shape, and sellers use the names inconsistently, so treat a batch name as a claim to verify with QC photos rather than as a guarantee.

What happens if the parcel is seized, delayed or damaged?
That depends on the agent and the shipping line you chose, not on this site. Compensation rules, insurance options and customs risk sit in the agent’s terms, so read them before shipping and keep the option to split a large parcel into smaller ones.
