Kakobuy Spreadsheet Decoder: Mastering Insurance for High-Value Orders

Why Decode Kakobuy Spreadsheets?

Kakobuy spreadsheets track Taobao orders from quote to delivery. Essential terms ensure safe high-value buys. This guide strips jargon to essentials, laser-focused on insurance for orders $1000+.

Core Spreadsheet Terminology

• Link Data: Item URL, title, price per unit, color/size options.
• Batch No.: QC grouping ID. Batches allow bulk checks; check for "Batch Flaws" in notes.
• QC Status: New/Approved/Flawed/Reship. Drives decisions pre-ship.
• Invoice Total: Pre-tax sum. Compare to 'Declare Value' for customs.
• Service Fee: Kakobuy's cut: 8% storage/QC, plus shipping merge fee.
• DHL/FedEx Line: Consolidated tracking post-customs consolidation.

High-Value Insurance Breakdown

For orders $1000+, Kakobuy offers buyer-paid insurance at 1.2-2% of declare value. Covers loss/damage post-QC. No insurance? Self-liability.

Insurance Options

• Standard Insurance (Recommended): 1.5% rate. Full reimbursement up to declared value on EMS/DHL loss. Damage claims cap 80%.
• Premium Courier Ins. (DHL Express): 2% fee. Door-to-door full value, 90-day claim window. Best for luxury >$5000.
• Partial/No Ins.: Risky for high-value. Kakobuy compensates minor faults only; zero on lost parcels without.

When to Insure

Order Value	Ins. Threshold	Risk Notes
<$500	Optional	EMS usually safe.
$500-$1000	Strongly advised	Customs scans rise.
>$1000	Mandatory	Loss rate 0.5%; 100x avg.

Declare Value Strategy

Under-declare risks full loss denial. Over-declare ups duties. Formula: Declare = Invoice * 0.7 + services. E.g., $2000 batch → declare $1600.

Claim Jargon & Process

• Non-Delivery (NDR): 30-day courier probe + agent report = payout in 45 days.
• DOA Damage: Photos mandatory. Tag 'Broken Seal' in QC feedback.
• AIW (As It Was): Return shipping on agent; they test/claim back.
• PP File: Timestamped log for audit-proof claims.

Pro Tip: Always add 'Full Ins.' note in consolidation request. Monitor via Kakobuy dashboard daily.

Quick Wins for Newbies
