§ 02 · Method

How a row gets filled in.

Sources, in order of weight

  • The agent's own published fee page, storage policy and QC terms.
  • Independent directories (spreadsheet and comparison sites), each with a read date.
  • Buyer receipts and forum reports where a fee is disputed.

Rules we hold to

  • We publish a figure only when we can point to a source for it.
  • When two sources disagree, we show both quotes instead of picking one.
  • Every page is dated, and no page is paid for by the agent it covers.

Why a table beats a listicle

The expensive part of an agent order is rarely the headline fee — it is the exchange margin, the volumetric rule, the overdue meter or the freight spread. Those only show up when you line agents up on one grid and read across.

Each page carries a calculator

Every agent read ships with an original calculator or model that prices the mechanism it invented — a storage meter, a coupon ladder, a fee ceiling, an amortised freight bill. Run your own numbers before you commit.

§ 03 · Questions

What buyers ask first.

What does a China purchasing agent actually charge?

Most agents here quote three numbers: a purchasing service fee, an exchange-rate margin, and a freight rate. Several publish a zero-percent service fee and recover the margin in the exchange rate or the shipping spread instead — which is why reading the fee line alone is misleading.

How long is free warehouse storage?

Ninety days is the norm. EsgoBuy publishes up to 300 days, Sugargoo and Fishgoo publish 100, LoveGoBuy publishes 60, and EastMallBuy publishes 30. A few agents run two shelves, with a shorter free window for sensitive goods.

How many free QC photos do agents include?

Three to five free inspection photos per item is typical. CSSBuy and EsgoBuy publish free photos on request without a fixed cap; several agents charge around one yuan per extra photo.

Is it cheaper to use one agent or several?

It depends on the cart. Each agent here has at least one mechanism it invented. The cheapest agent for a heavy parcel is rarely the cheapest for a light one, so price your own cart against the mechanism rather than the headline fee.

How were these pages compiled?

Each page is built from the agent's own published terms plus independent third-party sources, with the numbers reconciled where sources disagree. No page is sponsored by the agent it covers.
