Kakobuy: How to Prepare Your Package for International Shipping

2026-02-18

Proper packaging is the first and most crucial step to ensure your items arrive safely at their destination. Follow this guide to understand best practices and Kakobuy's specialized services.

Step 1: Your Preparation & Packaging

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

General Packaging Principles:

  • Use a Strong Box:
  • Internal Cushioning:
  • Seal Securely:
  • Protect from Moisture:

For Fragile Items (Glassware, Electronics, Ceramics):

  • Wrap each piece individually with at least 2 inches of bubble wrap.
  • Mark the box with "Fragile" labels on all sides.
  • Ensure the item does not touch the sides of the box—padding is essential on all sides.
  • For extremely delicate items, double-boxing is recommended: pack the item securely in a smaller box, then cushion it within a larger outer box.

Step 2: How Kakobuy's Warehouse Handles Your Items

Upon arrival at our secure warehouse, your package undergoes inspection and processing.

Inspection & Fragile Item Protocol:

Our staff conducts a visual check of incoming packages. If an item is marked as Fragile

  • It is stored in a designated, safe area within the warehouse.
  • It is handled with extra care during the sorting and consolidation process.
  • While we exercise high care, we inspect the outer packaging only. We cannot inspect the internal condition of a sealed item without a specific repacking request.

Step 3: Repacking Options Before International Shipment

Kakobuy offers professional repacking services to optimize your package for the rigors of international logistics and often save on shipping costs.

Available Repacking Services:

Basic Consolidation

We combine multiple packages from different sellers into one single, strong outer box. This is the most common and cost-effective option.

Full Repack & Optimization

We carefully unpack your items, remove excess retail packaging, and repack them using optimal materials to reduce volumetric weight and enhance protection.

Fragile-Item Specialized Packing

Our team uses premium cushioning materials, custom bracing, and double-boxing techniques to provide maximum protection for delicate items.

Simple Box Replacement

If your original box is damaged but the internal packing is sufficient, we replace it with a new, sturdy Kakobuy box for a stronger exterior.

How to Request Repacking:

In your Kakobuy Member Dashboard, when selecting consolidation and shipping methods:

  1. Go to "My Packages" and select items for your international shipment.
  2. Before finalizing, choose the "Repacking Options" tab.
  3. Select your preferred service level (e.g., "Full Repack," "Fragile Handling").
  4. Add special instructions if needed. A small service fee may apply, but this is often offset by lower final shipping costs.

Safe Delivery, From Our Door to Yours

By combining your careful initial packaging with Kakobuy's professional handling and repacking services, you significantly increase the safety and efficiency of your international shipment. Always consider our repacking options to ensure your items, especially fragile ones, are protected against the long journey ahead.
