Kakobuy QC and Warehouse Guide
Day 12 expands this Kakobuy QC and warehouse hub into the decision page buyers should use after a seller ships to the Kakobuy warehouse and before they submit international shipping. The practical goal is simple: decide whether each warehouse item is worth keeping, returning, exchanging, photographing again, consolidating, separating, reinforcing or abandoning before it becomes an international parcel problem.
Kakobuy's public inspection rules describe normal inspection as a visible check around appearance, model, style and size. That is useful for obvious buying mistakes, but it is not the same as authentication, electronics testing, hidden-content verification or a professional quality guarantee. Treat QC photos as evidence for visible decisions, not as proof that every risk has disappeared.
Review QC as soon as the item is stored
Do not wait several days before opening QC photos. Check color, size, quantity, model, visible condition, stains, holes, scratches, stitching, labels, packaging, wrong version, missing accessories and seller tags as soon as the item reaches the warehouse. If the photo angle is weak, request extra photos while the item is still inside the after-sales window.
Understand what normal QC can and cannot prove
Normal QC is strongest for visible checks. It can help catch wrong size, wrong color, wrong model, obvious damage, missing obvious accessories and packaging problems. It should not be used as proof of authenticity, electronic function, internal parts, battery condition, hidden contents, fabric composition or sealed-package quality.
Handle sealed goods and electronics more carefully
Kakobuy's inspection disclaimer is especially important for sealed packaging, goods with sealing strips, non-clothing categories and electronic or digital products. If a product cannot be opened or function-tested, the buyer should decide whether the lower inspection certainty is acceptable before paying international shipping.
Separate storage from return eligibility
Kakobuy warehouse storage gives time for consolidation, but storage time is not the same as return or exchange time. Normal purchasing and transshipment packages have a 100-day storage reference from stock-in, while return and exchange decisions are time-sensitive and often depend on seller approval. Treat storage as logistics time, not as a long refund window.
Use abnormal-package status as an urgent signal
If a package is marked abnormal, signed but unresolved, missing information, damaged, restricted or requiring buyer feedback, do not treat it like a normal stored item. Resolve the issue quickly because abnormal package handling has shorter practical timing and may lead to disposal if the buyer does not respond.
Decide return or exchange before international shipping
Return or exchange should be decided while the item is still in the China warehouse. Buyer-reason returns, seller-fault returns, wrong items, visible damage, quality problems, missing accessories, shipping-fee surprises and bulky items have different cost responsibilities. Once the item leaves China, the practical ability to return it is much weaker.
Consolidate only compatible items
Do not consolidate just because several items are in the warehouse. Shoes with boxes, puffer jackets, rigid bags, fragile goods, electronics, batteries, liquids, repeated identical items and high-value products should be separated or packed differently when route restrictions, customs signals, damage risk or volumetric weight differ.
Make the parcel decision with weight and evidence
Before submitting a parcel, check actual weight, possible volumetric weight, route availability, packaging choice, optional reinforcement, insurance, customs responsibility and whether QC evidence is enough. Keep screenshots of QC photos, order details, parcel submission details and any extra-photo messages for after-sales reference.
Prepare for receipt and damage reporting
After the parcel arrives, inspect the outer package and inner goods promptly. If there is visible damage, missing content or abnormal delivery, keep the packaging, take clear photos or video, ask the local delivery/post office for evidence when required, and contact Kakobuy customer service within the relevant reporting window.
Day 12 warehouse checklist
After stock-in: check QC photos immediately, request extra photos if needed, and decide return or exchange early. Before consolidation: group only compatible items and separate sensitive categories. Before shipping: confirm weight, dimensions, route, packaging, customs responsibility and evidence. After delivery: inspect before discarding packaging and report problems quickly.
