Iris Bakker

Iris Bakker is Editor-in-Chief and Founder, writing shipping-line comparisons and quarterly landed-cost tables and maintaining the corrections log.

Orders use a buyer account with no seller contact, agent replies are timestamped in screenshots, and payment-to-purchase-confirmation time is recorded in minutes. Arrival photographs and weight checks lead into line-by-line invoice reconciliation against the quoted shipping rate, with variances above 2% logged as correction candidates.

How I test

Iris places each order on a buyer account with no seller contact, screenshots every agent reply with a timestamp, and records elapsed minutes from payment to purchase confirmation. On arrival, Iris unwraps on the grey card, photographs the parcel before opening, then weighs the contents on the calibrated scale. The final invoice is reconciled line by line against the quoted shipping rate, and any variance above 2% is logged as a correction candidate.
