✨Announcements✨ 🚫 PSA: No Brigading / Attacks & Limited Political or Religious Posts

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder about a couple of important rules we follow here in r/Labubu to keep our community safe and enjoyable for all:

❌ No Brigading or Organized Attacks

We do not allow brigading (coordinated efforts to target, harass, or attack other communities or groups).

This applies both ways — whether aimed at us or directed outwards toward other groups.

Our focus here is Labubus, not fueling conflict.

⚖️ Why We Limit Political & Religious Posts

Posts about politics or religion often spark arguments and distract from what brings us together: our love for Labubu.

This is not about bias — it’s about keeping the space neutral and welcoming so everyone feels comfortable participating.

There’s a time and place for political or religious discussions, but this subreddit is not the place.

💡 The Goal

Our goal is simple: to keep this community a fun, safe, and drama-free space for collectors and fans to share, connect, and enjoy the hobby together.

Thanks for understanding and helping us keep r/Labubu the fun community it’s meant to be!

✨Annoucements✨ 🚨 Reminder: Please use r/Labubuswap. B/S/T is NOT ALLOWED on r/Labubu.

All buying, selling and trading activity must be done on r/LabubuSwap, which has strict rules in place to help protect everyone.

📌 Do not ask random people here to sell to you. It’s not only against the rules—it’s also pretty reckless when there’s a dedicated swap sub with protections in place. People who ignore these rules to offer sales here often come off like scammers.

📌 Don’t buy from users without items in hand. We’ve noticed a lot of people soliciting sellers under order confirmation photo posts. This is extremely risky.

✅ Order confirmation photos can be easily faked or stolen.

✅ Even if the order is real, a lot can still go wrong—orders can get delayed, damaged, or even canceled.

💡 Bottom line: Don’t send money to anyone who doesn’t have the item physically in hand with proof (a photo + handwritten note). Protect yourself and wait until the item is actually available before purchasing.

This is exactly how scammers take advantage of people. Be cautious and use common sense.

🚨 Posts and comments breaking this rule will be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned.

This subreddit is for discussion and sharing collections—not for transactions.

🎆 Happy 4th of July—and stay safe out there! 🎆

Real or Fake? labubu(fufu) big into energy secret ID…

Hello! I was just gifted this Labubu by a coworker who no longer wanted it and I was wondering if they were maybe fake? I tried the authentication QR code for fun and it said the code exceeded the limit of verifications and that sent me down a rabbit hole on whether I was really holding a Lafufu. They don’t match any obvious fakes to me, but the wonky eye keeps throwing me off. Any opinions from seasoned Labubu(fufu) owners is greatly appreciated! I love them regardless I was just not aware lafufus have gotten this good! lol

I keep making minor alterations like every other day 😅 Love her scrungly bow but it looks too busy with the necklace.

A colorwash around her eyes and teeth really improved the look of the PFL painted on eyes. I also stuffed her a little more, made the tail, and the necklace, fluffed her fur out with a nail brush. Tail is prehensile (wired)!

Shipping/Tracking Updates Why your Labubu order sits in the same tracking status for a week — a breakdown from someone who ships these daily

56 Upvotes

Full disclosure: I stream for a blind box shop that ships out of China, so this is the side of it I deal with every day. No links, nothing to sell you here — I just keep seeing the same panicked posts and the explanations in the comments are usually half right.

Since most Labubu releases drop in China first, a lot of you are now ordering cross-border whether you planned to or not. The tracking behaves differently from domestic orders and that trips people up.

What the timeline actually looks like

  • Processing, 2-5 business days — picked, checked, packed. Longer if it's a pre-order, because the stock isn't in hand yet.
  • Domestic leg, 2-3 days — moving to the outbound facility inside China.
  • Cross-border transit and customs, 6-12 days — the long stretch and the least predictable. This covers waiting for flight or vessel space, the crossing itself, then clearance and sorting on arrival. Actual customs clearance is usually quick; most of that window is transport and waiting for capacity.
  • Local delivery, 2-4 days.

Call it 10-18 business days after processing, which in practice is two to four calendar weeks door to door.

Why two orders placed the same day arrive weeks apart

This is the one that generates the most "did they forget half my order" posts.

Part of it is what's in the box. Contents decide which shipping channel a parcel is even allowed on:

  • Anything with magnets — magnetic accessories, swappable parts, magnetic bases — has to go on a line cleared for magnetic goods. Smaller pool of flights.
  • Anything with a battery, like light-up pieces, needs a battery-certified line. Fewer carriers, more paperwork, noticeably slower.
  • Large plush is volumetric cargo. A big Labubu weighs almost nothing but eats space, so it's priced and scheduled by volume. When capacity is tight, bulky-light freight is first to get bumped to the next flight.

And the part nobody mentions: freight forwarders split shipments across different channels to spread their own costs. Your two parcels can end up on completely different routes purely because of how the forwarder is balancing capacity that week. It has nothing to do with your order.

The "returned to sender" scare

This one got me on my own shipment, so I'll use that.

I sent a parcel at the end of July. A few days later the tracking logged a return scan at the origin facility, then went silent. Two weeks on I checked, concluded it had been turned around and never left the country, and wrote to the recipient apologising and offering a replacement.

They replied the same day: it had arrived the night before.

What happened is the courier handed the parcel to a different carrier and reissued it under a new tracking number. The old number records that handoff as a return and then stops updating forever, while the parcel travels on normally under a number nobody had told either of us about.

So if you see a return scan followed by silence, don't assume anything. Ask the seller specifically whether the parcel was reissued under a new number — don't just quote the old one back at them, because they'll look it up and see the same dead trail you do. That's exactly how I got it wrong.

Other things that look broken but aren't

  • Nothing for the first 48 hours — the number exists before the parcel gets its first scan.
  • Days of silence mid-transit — nothing scans while it's in the air or on the water.

When it's actually worth worrying

Past the estimated window with no movement at all, or the last scan is more than 10 days old.


If your tracking is doing something strange — stuck for days, showing a return, or a split order arriving in pieces — post the details and I'll tell you what's most likely going on.

Hello! It’s finally my birthday month and I’ve been waiting to redeem my birthday rewards for the Labubu purse and cup set and I went to the app and I did but it said “added to cart” but then I go to my cart and it’s empty? 😭 did I lose it?

New Release/Sneak Peeks Snubbo…. I really hope this will come out as a plush maybe this winter? I read they released some stuff at the Popland theme park but haven’t found anything at all about an actual plush release. I’d buy the whole freaking set 😆
