Review methodology

We start with an order through the agent's site. Our testing team pays the item price, domestic shipping, agent service fee, QC photo fee if any, consolidation fee, international shipping, and any customs charges. At the warehouse we request QC photos and compare them with the listing. We measure garments flat and note shoulder, chest, length, and sleeve. We weigh the parcel before and after consolidation. We select at least two shipping lines when available, then track pickup, export, flight, customs, and last-mile delivery. After arrival we inspect seams, hardware, and materials, then wear or use the item for 14 days. We score on a five-point scale: 5 excellent, 4 good, 3 adequate, 2 poor, 1 very poor. We publish comparison tables for fees, timing, and measurements.

Comparison scope

Record the purchase variant, currency and US route. Log warehouse intake, QC requests, consolidation approval, billed dimensions and carrier acceptance. Compare garment measurements using the same landmarks. Record customs events without assuming their cause. Cost comparisons need equivalent parcels and dated exchange rates. Separate agent, seller and carrier claims; prior delivery cannot guarantee acceptance of a future shipment.

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.
