Unlike traditional forward purchasing agents that help Chinese buyers shop overseas, counter-directional agents like Kakobuy operate in reverse – assisting foreign consumers in accessing China's domestic retail channels. Kakobuy offers several advantages:

• Provides English-language interface for non-Chinese speakers
• Secures direct partnerships with 1688 merchants
• Handles all payment and logistics transactions
• Offers faster payment processing than dealing directly with sellers
• Can occasionally find better prices than what's listed publicly

The 1688 Advantage

1688.com stocks authentic Hollister inventory produced for the Asian market - sometimes at 30-50% less than US retail prices. Select merchants even export quality surplus items similar to what you'd find in Western Hollister stores.

Confirming Merchandise Authenticity

When sourcing name brands from Chinese platforms, some buyers may question genuineness. We suggest:

1. Request product background code verification from Kakobuy agents
2. Check merchandise photos against Hollister's official Asia catalog
3. Ask sellers to provide bulk supply agreements (when possible)

Unlike simple FedEx/DHL reshipping agents, the expertise these platforms provide puts manageable pricing tiers within reach for individual international shoppers - potentially 3+ units considered volume purchases with additional discounts negotiable via Kakobuy's sourcing staff.
