Review methodology

Our testing team orders every product we review. For shopping agents, we time each stage: order placement, domestic shipping to warehouse, quality check, international shipping, and delivery. We inspect packaging, verify item accuracy, and check fit and materials. We compare at least two items per agent. We then assign a score on a five-point scale.

Comparison scope

Log purchase confirmation, seller dispatch, warehouse intake, inspection requests, consolidation approval and carrier acceptance. Identify which party controls each interval. Use comparable product availability and destination assumptions. Include cancellations and changed instructions alongside successful orders. A created tracking number is not proof of carrier acceptance, and seller delays or customs decisions should not automatically be attributed to the agent.

The review identifies the sample, dates, conditions and any steps omitted. A hands-on claim requires documented inspection or use; desk research is labelled. Scoring uses the complete 1-to-5 scale with the criteria and evidence explained, including unfavorable findings and missing information.
