For luxury watch enthusiasts, acquiring a timepiece like the A. Lange & SöhneWeidianKakobuyA. Lange & Söhne watch
1. Understand Kakobuy’s Role as a Reverse Purchasing Agent
Kakobuy specializes in assisting global shoppers to buy products from Chinese marketplaces like Weidian, Taobao, and 1688. Their services include order consolidation, negotiation, quality checks, and international shipping. Unlike traditional buying agents, reverse agents focus on sourcing products from local markets and selling them overseas.
Before proceeding, explore options for your desired watch model, such as the Saxonia, Lange 1, or Datograph, on Weidian. A useful tool for comparison shopping is a spreadsheet like this product listing guide, which helps identify trusted sellers.
2. Register on Kakobuy and Submit Purchase Request
First, sign up for a Kakobuy account and navigate to the "Purchase Request"
To find reputable sellers, check reviews or analysis spreadsheets, such as Find’s Spreadsheet, which catalogues seller ratings. Avoid high-risk stores with counterfeit products—luxury watches require meticulous authenticity verification.
3. Payment and Processing
Kakobuy offers payment via PayPal, credit card, or bank transfer. Include all related estimated costs: Weidian item price, shipping within China (~¥15-40 CNY), international courier fees, and service charges (usually 5-8%). Request a prepaid shipping label if consolidating multiple purchases.
Ensure the listed product link references the chosen A. Lange & Söhne
4. Quality Inspection and International Shipping
Upon receiving the item at Kakobuy’s warehouse, opt for their "+QC" service to verify the watch via hi-res photos and videos scrutinizing its movement and engravings—critical for high-end timepieces. Confirm packaging ensures safety through your preferred courier (DHL, FedEx, etc.). Opt for insurance to protect against transit damage.
Once the authenticated watch ships, track delivery via your account. Upon arrival, inspect it personally or via an authorized dealer for authenticity certificates (e.g., A. Lange & Söhne’s service guarantee). Retain receipts for future servicing—luxury watches require official networks to honor warranties.

Pro Tips for Seamless Transactions:
- Compare pricing on Weidian vs. platforms like JD or Tmall—sometimes bundled offers reduce effective cost.
- For discontinued models, consider Kakobuy's search and negotiation assistance—black-market via non-weidian channels.
- Declare lower value (<$800 USD) to minimize import tax. However, syncing appraisal with insure can avoid coverage gaps exclusions where undervessalances detected.
