Pikobuy vs Kakobuy vs CNFans vs Oopbuy
All serious agents run the same core model — buy, QC, consolidate, ship. The differences are fees, coupons, marketplace support and community. Here's the honest comparison.

If Pikobuy is the one you pick, the invite code applies the new-user shipping coupons automatically.

The parts that are the same everywhere
Most agent comparisons manufacture differences. These do not vary between any of the agents below, and knowing that saves you a lot of reading:
- The buying model
- You send a product link. The agent buys it from the Chinese seller, receives it at its own warehouse, and holds it for you.
- QC photos
- Every serious agent photographs the actual item at the warehouse before international shipping, and lets you approve or reject it.
- Consolidation
- You can buy several items over days or weeks and have them packed into one international parcel, which is what makes agent shipping affordable at all.
- Who you are actually buying from
- The agent is not the manufacturer. Quality comes from the individual seller you picked, which is why the QC step exists.
- Shipping lines
- Agents resell the same forwarding lines. A given line costs roughly the same through any of them; the difference is the coupon on top.
Head-to-head
Each of these goes into detail on one agent — what genuinely differs, when to pick them over Pikobuy, and how to move your links across without re-finding anything.
When Pikobuy is the right pick
- You're starting fresh — the new-user coupon bundle plus weekly drops make first hauls meaningfully cheaper than agents that only run occasional events.
- You found the item here — every find in this spreadsheet is one click from checkout, with the listing price and stock label already on the card.
- You buy from Yupoo sellers — Yupoo support is not universal across agents.
Switching from another agent?
Your old links still work: paste any Kakobuy/CNFans/Oopbuy/Hoobuy product link into the link converter and it becomes a Pikobuy link for the same seller listing. Items already in another agent's warehouse can't transfer — finish those hauls there, start new ones here.
