If you're a fan of Off-Whiteagent platform like Kakobuy

Step 1: Understand How 1688 & Kakobuy Work Together

1688.com caters mainly to domestic Chinese trade, making shipping outside the country difficult. That's where Kakobuy comes in—a China-based "reverse proxy" shopping service

Step 2: Finding Authentic Off-White on 1688

Not all Off-White listings are legit—beware of fakes! Search using Chinese characters ("欧夫 外特" for transliteration—or 代购-"daigou"-phrases). Kopobuy agents can screenshot-translate listings for you. Alternatively, pre-vetted sources exist—a crowdsourced spreadsheet of trusted sellers is available here: 1688 Store Directory. Lists are updated regularly to flag problematic suppliers.

Step 3: Submitting Order Requests via Kakobuy

  1. Sign up at Kakobuy.com
  2. Paste 1688 product URLs into Kakobuy's "Order for Me"
  3. Specify size/color variants in the order notes.
  4. Kakobuy confirms stock availability within 48 hours.

Pro Tip: Request detailed warehouse photos

Step 4: Shipping and Cost Considerations

  • Consolidation Saves Fees
  • Caution With Declared Values
  • Choose EMS if Speed is Critical; cheaper sea shipping takes 2+ months.
