Six numbers to compare any agent
Comparisons only work on the same basis. These six lines are the fixed basis used here.
| What to check | Typical range | How it moves the total |
|---|---|---|
| Service fee | 4-10% of item price | Scales with what you buy; the single biggest fixed cost. |
| Free storage | 30 days | How long rows can wait in the warehouse before you must ship. |
| Transit | 8-17 days | Warehouse days plus the international leg; holidays add 3-7 days. |
| QC photos | 4-6 per item | Your last chance to catch a wrong size before shipping. |
| Freight basis | Actual vs volumetric (÷5000 or ÷6000), greater wins | A light bulky box can bill as several times its weight. |
| Consolidation | Free; 3+ items cut freight 30-60% | The largest lever you control on the total bill. |
Six questions
Mechanical, not reputational.
Coverage first — nothing else matters without a lane.
Photographs before dispatch are the last cheap chance to object.
Free storage enables consolidation, and short windows cost money.
Methods and fees vary; check before assuming.
Read the after-sales clause for your category.
Charged on chargeable weight — model it, do not assume.
