Shipping Line Overview
Kalobuy.com offers multiple shipping lines to most countries. The Kakobuy spreadsheet includes estimated shipping costs based on weight and destination. Understanding the trade-offs between speed and cost is essential.
EMS: Reliable, 10-20 days, mid-price. DHL: Fast, 5-10 days, expensive. SAL: Cheap, 20-40 days, no tracking updates. ePacket: Budget option for small packages under 2kg.
How to Minimize Shipping Costs
Combine multiple items into one shipment to reach weight breakpoints where per-kg rates drop. Remove all shoeboxes (save 200g each), tags (save 20g each), and excess packaging. Use rehearsal shipping to get an exact weight before paying.
Our 2026 shipping comparison has a full cost breakdown by line and weight.
Discount Codes and Seasonal Sales
Shipping discounts appear quarterly: Chinese New Year (January-February), mid-year sale (June-July), and Black Friday (November). Discounts range from 10-20% off standard shipping rates.
The spreadsheet "Shipping" tab lists active shipping coupons. Bookmark our shipping discounts hub for the latest codes.
Customs and Declarations
Always declare a realistic value. For the US, $12-15 per kg is typical for personal clothing. Undeclaring can lead to seizures; overdeclaring leads to unnecessary duties. The spreadsheet suggests declaration values per category.
