How to Compare Buying Agents Fairly
Many buyers compare agents only by service fee. That is a mistake. A fair comparison uses total landed cost and operational quality.
Use total landed cost
Total landed cost includes item price, domestic shipping, service fee, payment markup, exchange markup, packaging fees, international shipping, insurance, and possible customs charges.
Compare by use case
- Small first order: prioritize easy UI and strong support.
- Large haul: prioritize low fees, storage, consolidation, and shipping line choice.
- Expensive items: prioritize insurance, QC quality, and dispute handling.
- Branded items: prioritize line availability and customs-aware shipping.
Score each agent
Rate each agent from 1 to 10 across:
- Service fees
- QC quality
- Shipping speed
- Shipping line variety
- Warehouse storage
- Payment methods
- Support response
- Return handling
- Packaging options
- Target market fit
Avoid biased comparisons
An agent can be cheap but slow, established but expensive, or new but feature-rich. Compare evidence, not only community hype.
