Kakobuy: How to Prepare Your Package for International Shipping

2025-12-25

Proper packaging is the first step to ensuring your items arrive safely across the globe. Here’s your guide to preparing your package and understanding how Kakobuy handles it.

Step 1: Your Initial Packaging at Home

Before your items arrive at our warehouse, proper preparation is key.

  • Use a Sturdy Box:
  • Cushion Fragile Items:
  • Fill Empty Spaces:
  • Seal Securely:

Step 2: How Kakobuy's Warehouse Handles Your Items

Once your package arrives at a Kakobuy warehouse, our team takes careful note of its contents and condition.

Special Care for Fragile Items

Our warehouse staff performs a visual check on all incoming packages marked as "Fragile." These items are:

  • Stored in designated, secure areas to minimize risk.
  • Handled with extra caution during the sorting and consolidation process.
  • Eligible for our specialized repacking service (see below).

We recommend clearly labeling your original box with "Fragile" stickers for easy identification.

Step 3: Repacking Options Before International Shipment

To optimize for safety and cost, Kakobuy offers repacking services. When you consolidate multiple purchases, you can choose a repacking option:

1. Standard Consolidation

We place all your received packages (in their original outer boxes) into one larger shipping box. This is a good option if your original packaging is already very robust.

2. Expert Repacking Service

Our recommended choice for fragile or valuable goods.

  • Unpack your items from their original shipping boxes.
  • Inspect and add protective material if needed.
  • Consolidate multiple items efficiently into a new, right-sized box with optimal cushioning.

This reduces dimensional weight (often lowering cost) and significantly enhances safety.

3. Original Box Shipping

We ship your items exactly as they arrived, in their original retail or shipping boxes. Choose this only if you are confident in the original packaging's strength for an international journey.

Final Tips for a Smooth Journey

  • Declare items accurately in your Kakobuy member page for customs purposes.
  • Review our prohibited items list before shipping.
  • Consider adding shipping insurance for high-value parcels.
  • Select your preferred repacking option during the consolidation request.

By preparing your package well and utilizing Kakobuy's repacking expertise, you can ensure your international shipment is both secure and cost-effective. Happy shipping!
