FAQ’s

How do I order an item?

Each item is one of a kind. When you click “Proceed to checkout”, the item is temporarily reserved for 10 minutes so you can complete your purchase. A countdown timer appears at that stage.

If payment is not completed within those 10 minutes, the reservation ends automatically and the item becomes available to other customers again.

Adding an item to your cart does not reserve it. The Favorite feature lets you save an item for later, but it does not prevent someone else from purchasing it first.

Why is there a countdown timer?

The timer begins only at checkout, not before. Its purpose is to ensure that unique items are not blocked in incomplete purchases for too long.

Because each piece exists in a single quantity, this system helps keep availability fair, stock flow fluid, and the shopping experience clear for everyone.

Can I reserve an item?

Yes, but only once you reach checkout. At that point, the item is held for 10 minutes while you finalize pa The timer begins only at checkout, not before. Its purpose is to ensure that unique items are not blocked in incomplete purchases for too long.

yment. During this period, other customers can see that the piece is currently being purchased.

If the payment is not completed in time, the item is released immediately.

How do I choose my size?

Each product page includes the most relevant sizing information available for that item. This may include the original label size, an estimated size if the label is missing, an AI-generated worn image to help with visual projection, and, in some cases, additional measurements.

For a broader understanding of fit and conversions, you can also refer to our Size Guide.

Are the images always identical to the actual item?

Not always. Some visuals are AI-generated to help you better imagine how a garment may look when worn. These images are intended as a styling and fit aid.

The actual item may vary slightly in fit, tone, drape, or appearance, especially depending on fabric and cut. The product page remains the reference point for the actual item offered for sale.

What does the condition of an item mean?

Every item is individually checked before it is listed, and its condition is stated as clearly as possible on the product page.

We generally use the following categories:

·       Excellent: near-new condition

·       Very good: minor signs of wear

·       Good: visible wear, while remaining fully wearable and functional

This allows you to shop with a clear understanding of the item’s actual state.

Where do the items come from?

All items come through the Kakoo Kakoo Circular Program. They are sent to us by sellers, then received, sorted, checked, and selected according to our quality standards before being listed online.

Each piece is manually inspected and prepared where needed before it becomes available for purchase. You therefore buy directly from Kakoo Kakoo, not from an individual seller.

Kakoo Kakoo est-il une marketplace ?

Non. Kakoo Kakoo n’est pas une marketplace entre particuliers. Il n’y a pas de vendeurs tiers qui gèrent eux-mêmes leurs annonces, expéditions ou interactions clients.

Chaque article est géré directement par Kakoo Kakoo, de la sélection et du contrôle qualité jusqu’au stockage, à l’expédition et au service client.

Is Kakoo Kakoo a marketplace?

No. Kakoo Kakoo is not a peer-to-peer marketplace. There are no third-party sellers managing their own listings, shipping, or customer interactions.

Every item is handled directly by Kakoo Kakoo, from selection and quality control to storage, shipping, and customer service.

What payment methods are accepted?

We currently accept:
Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Bancontact, Apple Pay, and eligible eco vouchers such as Edenred, Sodexo, and Monizze.

Eco vouchers can only be used on categories that qualify under the applicable rules, such as second-hand fashion.

Can I use a voucher or a circular voucher?

Yes. Standard vouchers may be used across the website unless a specific restriction is stated.

Circular vouchers are issued as part of the Circular Program and follow separate rules. They are valid only on Kakoo Kakoo, cannot be exchanged for cash, and are not transferable.

How does a circular voucher work?

A circular voucher works as store credit and can be applied directly at checkout. Its value is deducted from the amount of the items in your order.

If the value of your voucher is higher than your order total, the remaining balance stays available for a future purchase, subject to the applicable validity period and conditions.

Can I use a circular voucher on discounted items?

Yes, unless a specific promotion or exceptional operation states otherwise. If a restriction applies, it will always be clearly indicated at checkout or on the offer concerned.

Are my payments secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through our payment partner Mollie, in line with European security standards.

Your banking information does not pass through Kakoo Kakoo’s systems and is never stored by us.

Can Kakoo Kakoo cancel a voucher?

Only in cases of confirmed misuse, such as deliberate abuse of the system or repeated attempts to bypass voucher rules.

If such a situation arises, Kakoo Kakoo will contact you first before taking any action.

What happens if I return an order paid with a voucher?

When a voucher has been used, it is considered consumed. If an order is later returned, the refund is adjusted to reflect the benefit already applied.

This means that the voucher value already used may be deducted from the refund, and no refund can exceed the amount actually paid by the customer.

How do I return an item?

To return an item, log in to your account, open the relevant order, and submit a return request by following the instructions provided.

You will then be guided through the return steps, including shipment instructions where applicable.

In what condition must the item be returned?

Returned items must be sent back clean, unworn except for try-on, unwashed, undamaged, odor-free, and in the same condition in which they were received.

If an item shows signs of wear, washing, damage, stains, or strong odors, the refund may be refused or adjusted.

How long do I have to return an item?

Kakoo Kakoo may wait until the item has been received before finalizing the refund.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, but only if the order has not yet been prepared or shipped. If it has already left our premises, the standard return process applies once you receive it.

Can I make a partial return?

Yes. You may return one or several items from the same order. However, all items you wish to return should be sent back together in a single parcel.

Are return costs at my expense?

Yes, return shipping costs are initially paid by the customer. Once the return has been processed, these costs are reimbursed in the form of a voucher usable on Kakoo Kakoo.

If the item is defective, incorrect, or non-compliant, return costs are fully covered by Kakoo Kakoo.

What happens to the shipping costs if I return my order?

If you return the entire order under your right of withdrawal, the initial shipping costs are refunded at the lowest standard delivery rate.

If only part of the order is returned, the refund of shipping costs may be adjusted proportionally. In cases involving an error, defect, or non-compliant item, shipping costs are refunded in full.

How will I be refunded?

Refunds are made using the original payment method used for the order. If part of the purchase was paid with a voucher, that portion is reissued as a voucher, in accordance with the applicable conditions.

What should I do if an item is missing from my order?

Please contact customer service within 48 hours of delivery and provide your order number, a photo of the parcel, and details of the missing item.

We will verify the issue as quickly as possible.

In such cases, Kakoo Kakoo covers the return and issues the appropriate refund.

Did this article answer your question?

How are my items priced?

Each item is priced individually using resale expertise, based on brand demand, condition, seasonality, material quality, and uniqueness. Pricing reflects real market value.

Is pricing the same for every seller?

No. Pricing varies based on the item’s condition, demand, and timing. This keeps valuations fair and realistic.

What does “estimated resale value” mean?

It’s the expected selling price of an item. Your reward is based on this estimate, so you don’t have to wait for the item to sell.

Why do some items earn more than others?

Items in strong condition, from desirable brands, and aligned with current demand or season tend to earn more.

How do I choose between cash and store credit?

After evaluation, you choose from your account between cash payment or circular store credit.

Why is store credit more advantageous?

How does the shipping voucher work?

If 80% or more of your items are accepted, you receive full shipping reimbursement in store credit. If not, you receive 50% as credit.

When will I receive my reward?

Shortly after evaluation and once your choice is confirmed. No waiting for items to sell.

Where can I see my earnings?

A full breakdown is available in your account, including item values, total reward, and any shipping credits.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. There are no registration fees, listing fees, or deductions. The amount shown is what you receive.

Do prices change over time?

Yes. Resale value can vary with seasonality, trends, and market demand.

What happens if my items are not accepted?

They are not compensated and are donated or recycled by default. You can request a return within the given timeframe (fees apply).

Can Kakoo Kakoo adjust pricing after evaluation?

No. Once your results are issued, your reward is final.

Is there a limit to how much I can earn?

No. Earnings depend on the quantity, condition, and demand of your items.

Why trust Kakoo Kakoo with pricing?

Because pricing is handled by experienced professionals using clear, consistent criteria.

How are my items evaluated?

Each item is assessed based on condition, brand demand, seasonality, material quality, and compliance with standards.

How am I rewarded for accepted items?

If your lot is validated, you can choose between a cash payment or circular store credit with higher value and shipping reimbursement.

It is a higher-value reward usable on Kakoo Kakoo, including shipping reimbursement. It is valid for 2 months and cannot be converted to cash.

Refused items are listed in your account. By default, they are donated or recycled. You may request a return within the timeframe shown in your account (fees apply). If no request is made, items follow the default process.

 

 

What happens if the 80% threshold is not reached?

If less than 80% of your items are accepted, the lot is not validated and full rewards do not apply. You may still receive partial shipping reimbursement in store credit. This threshold ensures consistent quality and a fair resale experience.

Are my items safe and handled ethically?

Yes. Items are handled by trained staff, with authenticity checks and secure data handling.

Because it removes the effort of traditional resale. You send your items once, and everything else is handled.

Do my items become Kakoo Kakoo’s property?

Accepted items are taken over by Kakoo Kakoo for resale. Refused items remain yours unless you choose not to request their return.

Who decides between donation or recycling?

Kakoo Kakoo decides based on the condition and potential for reuse of each item.

What happens if couterfeit items are found?

Counterfeit items are removed from circulation, not returned, and do not qualify for compensation.
