What Is the Kakobuy Spreadsheet
The Kakobuy Spreadsheet is a community-maintained database of product finds from various sellers. Unlike browsing Taobao directly, the spreadsheet organizes items by category, price range, seller name, and QC photo availability. New QC photos are added weekly as buyers receive their orders and share photos. The spreadsheet includes entries for shoes, hoodies, jackets, pants, accessories, and more.
How to Navigate the Spreadsheet
Most spreadsheets are organized with tabs for each category. The main columns typically include: product name, price in yuan, seller name, batch name, QC photo link, and buyer notes. You can use the search function to find specific items. Filter by category using the dropdown menus. Pay attention to the "last updated" column — sellers change batches frequently, and an entry from six months ago might not reflect current quality.
Understanding QC Photos
QC stands for Quality Control. Before your item ships from the warehouse, Kakobuy takes photos of the product for you to review. Good QC photos show the full item, logo details, stitching, tags, and any known flaws. If the QC photos look off, you can request an exchange. The Kakobuy QC Guide on this site explains exactly what to look for. Many Germany buyers mention that requesting extra QC angles helps catch batch-specific flaws early.
Shipping Methods for Europe
For European buyers, the most popular shipping lines are DHL Tax-Free (fast, tracked, Germany favorite), EUB (cheaper, slower, good for France and Spain), EMS (middle ground), and SAL (slowest but cheapest for large hauls). The shipping method you choose depends on your country, package weight, and budget. Check our Europe Shipping Guide for country-specific recommendations.
