Six buying platforms, one catalogue
Every item in this catalogue can be ordered through six different platforms. They differ in how they handle a pasted link and in what they are strongest at — not in the mechanics you have to get right.
What is the same on all six
The shape of the transaction is identical everywhere. You send a source link, the platform buys it domestically, receives it at its own warehouse, photographs it for your inspection, and then forwards it internationally once you approve and pay the freight.
That means the three checks that decide whether an order goes well are also identical: inspect before the parcel is submitted, price the parcel on chargeable weight rather than the scale, and know when the free storage window closes.
- A source link, not a screenshot
- The exact variant written on the order form
- A budget covering domestic delivery, freight and duty
What actually differs
| Platform | Link format | Strongest fit in our catalogue |
|---|---|---|
| Kakobuy | Source URL passed in encoded form | Everything — the whole catalogue |
| OOPBUY | Item id in the path | Sneakers and shoes |
| UIDBUY | Numeric channel code in the path | Watches |
| Hipobuy | Marketplace name in the path | Designer brands and bags |
| Litbuy | Item id plus a link-search parameter | Jewelry |
| Boonbuy | Plain path, no tracking parameter | Across categories — best sellers |
How to choose one for a given order
Do not split an order across platforms to chase a rounding difference in the service charge. Split it only when a platform cannot carry a particular item, or when you are testing one you have not used before.
A practical rule: keep one platform as your default so consolidation and storage deadlines stay in one place, and use a second only for categories where it is visibly stronger. Rotating platforms order by order means managing several storage windows at once, which is how items get stranded.
