Step 1: Understanding the Kakobuy Model

Unlike conventional marketplaces, Kakobuy operates as a personal shopping assistant. You find the product you desire, and they handle the entire procurement and shipping chain. Their services typically include contacting suppliers, negotiating prices (where possible), quality inspection, consolidating packages, and arranging international logistics. It’s crucial to familiarize yourself with their fee structure, which includes service charges and shipping costs, to understand the total landed cost.

Step 2: Scouting for Oris Watches on 1688

Begin your journey on 1688.com (Alibaba's domestic B2B platform). Use Chinese keywords like “Oris 手表” (Oris watch), “豪利时” (Oris's Chinese name), or specific model numbers. Exercise caution: while genuine wholesalers exist, diligence is key. Carefully examine supplier credentials (transaction history, customer reviews, "Member Years"). For a streamlined product discovery, some users curate and share helpful product compilations. You might find a detailed product reference list, including model comparisons and supplier notes, on external resources like this comprehensive spreadsheet. Always cross-reference any external information.

Step 3: Registering and Using Your Kakobuy Account

Sign up for an account on Kakobuy's website. Upon registration, you will usually receive a personal Chinese warehouse address. This address is critical. When you find a potential Oris watch listing on 1688, you will use this warehouse address as your shipping destination. Copy the product link from the 1688 page meticulously. Ensure all desired specifications (model, color, size) are clearly stated in your order request to avoid misunderstandings.

Step 4: Submitting Your Purchase Request

Log into your Kakobuy dashboard and locate the “Product Purchase” or similar service page. Paste the 1688 product URL into the designated field. Accurately input the price in Chinese Yuan (RMB) and any specific requirements. The Kakobuy agent will then review the link, contact the seller to confirm stock and final price (including domestic shipping), and provide you with a total quotation. This quote includes their service fee. Once you approve and pay via the platform's system, their team proceeds with the purchase.

Step 5: Inspection, Consolidation, and International Shipping

After the 1688 seller ships the watch, it arrives at Kakobuy's warehouse. A key advantage here is their optional quality check service. You can request photos or a basic inspection to verify the item matches the description. Upon your confirmation, you then instruct Kakobuy to ship the item internationally. You will choose from various shipping methods (e.g., DHL, FedEx, EMS) based on cost, speed, and reliability for your country. Pay the international shipping fee, and Kakobuy will handle customs declaration and dispatch your Oris watch to your doorstep.
