Editor-in-Chief

Shopping-agent fee structures, parcel consolidation, and cross-border consumer logistics.

Marcus Lindqvist is Editor-in-Chief at Kakobuyde, keeping the order log personally and signing off every published score. Marcus owns the five-point rubric and the comparison tables beneath the rate pages, checking scores against the tickets behind them. One agent enters the retest cycle every six months, and parcels Marcus scores are personally weighed and photographed. The coverage centres on agent fees, consolidation and cross-border logistics, with order records, parcel measurements and recurring retests forming the practical work behind the desk's articles and comparisons.

Priya Raghavan

Reviews Editor

QC photo analysis, garment measurement, and packaging-condition checks.

Priya Raghavan runs the haul desk at Kakobuyde and keeps a measurement log for every garment checked against a seller's size chart. Garments are ordered in up to three size runs, measured flat across the chest, waist, sleeve and hem, and compared number by number with the listed chart. Parcels are photographed before opening and again after consolidation, while stitching, hardware and odour are recorded on arrival. Priya also marks which defects a QC photo set can establish and which it cannot, distinguishing photographic observations from measurements of the received item.

Tomás Herrera

Research Editor

Shipping-line rate tracking, agent-fee tables, and order-timing data.

Tomás Herrera maintains the rate tables, line comparisons and order-timing logs behind Kakobuyde reviews. The full rate sheet is rebuilt monthly, covering domestic China shipping, warehouse storage windows, consolidation fees and line surcharges, with fees checked against actual desk orders. Timing research follows orders from payment through warehouse arrival and final delivery, while the method records four checkpoints: payment, seller dispatch, warehouse arrival and international handover. Published timings use the median with the sample size stated, showing the order data used in each comparison.
