Order to Warehouse
After you place an order, the seller usually ships to the KakoBuy warehouse within 3-7 days. Some sellers take longer during holiday seasons. Once the item arrives, the agent takes 1-2 days to inspect and upload QC photos.
Warehouse to Your Door
Once you approve the item and pay for shipping, the package is prepared and sent out. This preparation takes 1-2 days. Transit time depends on the shipping line: EMS is 7-15 days, DHL is 5-10 days, SAL is 15-30 days. Customs clearance can add 1-3 days.
| Shipping Line | Speed | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| DHL | 5-10 days | High | Urgent orders, high-value items |
| EMS | 7-15 days | Medium | Most hauls, good balance |
| UPS | 7-14 days | Medium | Reliable tracking, US delivery |
| SAL | 15-30 days | Low | Budget buyers, non-urgent |
Total Timeline
Most buyers receive their packages within 2-4 weeks from the order date. If you are ordering during Chinese New Year or Black Friday, add 1-2 weeks to the estimate. The fastest possible timeline is about 10 days; the slowest can stretch past 6 weeks.
