Marcus FeldEditor-in-Chief
Shopping agent fee structures, parcel consolidation economics, shipping line selection and cross-border delivery timing.Marcus Feld serves as editor-in-chief at Kakobuy News and personally runs its fortnightly consolidated-haul test. The work covers agent fee structures, shipping line selection and cross-border delivery timing, with order records spanning payment, warehouse receipt, QC photo posting and delivery. Weighing parcels on arrival and rebuilding delivered costs from invoices bring the physical shipment and its charges into the comparison table. The same three-item basket is also rerun every 90 days, alongside the regular consolidated-haul tests, as part of Marcus's examination of costs and timing.
- How I test
- Marcus Feld opens an account with every agent scored and orders the same three-item basket using a personal card. Payment, warehouse receipt, QC photo posting and delivery are logged. Each parcel is weighed on arrival, its delivered cost is rebuilt from the invoices, and the basket is rerun every 90 days to keep the comparison table like for like.
