The price of the product is only part of an overseas purchase. Keep seller postage and international shipping in view before deciding how much to order.

Your expense worksheet

Add amounts you already have

Use a single currency throughout. Enter amounts from your item order and shipping quote; this worksheet adds them without estimating carrier rates or converting currencies.

Your total will appear here.

Add tax, payment or packing charges only if they apply to your order and you know the amount. This total excludes anything you have not entered. Nothing is saved.

How to use Kakobuy Estimate

In Kakobuy, open Estimate and enter the receiving country, parcel weight in grams, goods type and package dimensions. The estimate uses this information to show routes for your parcel. A clothing-only enquiry and one containing perfume can have different eligible routes even at the same weight.

Weight
Use the parcel’s weight, including its packaging, when it is available. An early sum of item weights is provisional.
Length, width and height
Measure the outside of the packed box. Bulky, light goods can occupy enough space for volume to influence the charge.
Goods type
Select the type that describes the contents. An unavailable route may reflect an item restriction rather than a missing price.
Receiving country
The country and the route’s delivery coverage need to suit the address you intend to use.

For uncertain box size, Rehearsal and packing can help establish the parcel measurements. Use the route’s stated calculation method rather than applying a single volumetric divisor to every carrier.

Delivery arrangementsEstimated transit range, final-mile delivery and tracking coverage.A deadline, remote address or signature need can matter more than a small saving.

Transit estimates are planning ranges. Seller dispatch and warehouse preparation happen before international transport, so they should not be counted as carrier transit time.

After the parcel leaves

Track a shipped parcel in Kakobuy under My Account → Package. Keep the parcel number alongside any carrier tracking reference. If your parcel is handed to another carrier, check for a new tracking number and read the updates in date order.

For a delayed or damaged delivery, keep the parcel record, packaging photos and the carrier’s latest message together when contacting account support. Reading haul reviews helps separate another shopper’s route experience from the service available for your address. If a coupon applies, compare its effect using the coupon terms guide.
