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.

How I test

Each month, Tomás rechecks agent fee schedules and line rate cards against actual orders placed by the desk. Orders are timed at four checkpoints: payment, seller dispatch, warehouse arrival and international handover. The median is published with the sample size stated, rather than presenting the best case.
