Is Itaobuy the right agent for the find you just made?
A find is only worth chasing if the agent behind it can actually deliver. Two instruments below help you test that: six questions about whether Itaobuy's mechanics suit what you are doing, and nine checks you can point at Itaobuy or at anyone else. Honest answers tend to make the decision obvious.

Six numbers to compare any agent
Comparisons only work on the same basis. These six lines are the fixed basis used here.
| What to check | Typical range | How it moves the total |
|---|---|---|
| Service fee | 4-10% of item price | Scales with what you buy; the single biggest fixed cost. |
| Free storage | 30 days | How long rows can wait in the warehouse before you must ship. |
| Transit | 8-17 days | Warehouse days plus the international leg; holidays add 3-7 days. |
| QC photos | 4-6 per item | Your last chance to catch a wrong size before shipping. |
| Freight basis | Actual vs volumetric (÷5000 or ÷6000), greater wins | A light bulky box can bill as several times its weight. |
| Consolidation | Free; 3+ items cut freight 30-60% | The largest lever you control on the total bill. |
Six questions worth asking
None concern reputation. All concern mechanics.
Coverage first — nothing else matters if no line serves your country.
Warehouse photographs let you confirm a find is what the listing claimed before it travels.
Free storage is what lets several finds leave together as one parcel.
Methods and conversion fees vary; check before building a basket around an assumption.
After-sales terms are published. Read the clause for your category.
Charged on measured weight. Model it rather than trusting a headline.
Nine checks for any agent
The same nine apply to Itaobuy and to every competitor. Mark each good, acceptable or weak.
Whether a route exists and what it costs at your parcel size
How many photos come as standard, and whether extras are sold
Long enough to consolidate, or too short to help
How tightly several items are packed together
What is accepted and what fees apply
Whether the constituents of a parcel are visible before you pay
How a dispute is defined, and how long it takes
Whether restricted goods are listed and checkable
How quickly a real question gets a real answer
A ruler rather than a ranking — score against your own criteria.
A measuring tool, not a verdict. Score any agent against your priorities, then confirm on Itaobuy's own pages.
