Editorial policy

What we cover

Kakobuynike writes about shopping agents, parcel forwarding, shipping lines, and the sneakers, outerwear, bags and small electronics readers order through them. We publish comparison tables, timed transit data, fit checks and buying guides.

Who writes

Three named editors run the desk: Marcus Feldt (Editor-in-Chief), Priya Naidoo (Reviews Editor) and Tomas Lindqvist (Research Editor). Their author pages list what they cover and the on-site credentials we have verified. Any freelance contribution is edited by one of the three before publication and carries a named byline.

How we choose what to test

Our coverage plan identifies the agents, shipping lines and product categories to be examined. Additions mid-year happen when a service changes its fees, closes a line, or when readers report a pattern we can reproduce. We do not accept payment, gifts or free service credits in exchange for coverage or a score.

Scores

All scores use the five-point scale set out in our review methodology, from 5 / 5 excellent down to 1 / 5 very poor, written as X / 5.

Sources and links

We link to agent fee pages, line schedules and customs guidance so readers can check the numbers themselves. Where we quote a figure from a third party, we name the source and the date we read it.

Corrections

Errors are corrected on the page with a dated note. Our corrections policy explains how to send one in.
