sourcing checklist
This page focuses on how product cost, domestic freight, agent fees, packaging, volume weight and international shipping combine. It is written for buyers who want the next click to support a real purchase decision with clearer product, QC and parcel context.
Use these checks before you pay, request QC help or release a parcel.
| Checkpoint | Why it matters | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|
| landed cost | Use landed cost to decide whether the seller is worth testing. | Compare landed cost with agent fee and freight estimate before submitting the order. |
| agent fee | The agent fee often changes the real cost and quantity decision. | Write the expected agent fee into your buyer note. |
| freight estimate | Check freight estimate when the order depends on quality, timing or repeat supply. | Do not scale the order until freight estimate looks stable. |
| packaging cost | Save packaging cost so you can explain the request clearly if the agent needs confirmation. | Use unit economics and margin check as the final go/no-go checks. |
Use this field note area to turn the page into a clear buying, QC or parcel checklist before opening the next product link.
If you are comparing items now, treat landed cost as the first checkpoint. Then verify agent fee, save notes about freight estimate, and avoid checkout until packaging cost and unit economics are clear. This keeps the page useful for buying, QC review and parcel planning.
landed cost, agent fee and freight estimate should point in the same direction.
Use packaging cost before moving from a small test to a larger quantity.
unit economics and margin check make agent instructions clearer.
These mistakes waste time and can turn a useful product find into a weak order.
Open the live source page and confirm landed cost directly. If the page, seller note or warehouse evidence does not match, do not treat the order as ready.
agent fee can change the final buyer decision because it affects proof, quantity, shipping cost or the confidence needed before payment.
Ask for help when freight estimate is not visible enough in product details, supplier messages or warehouse QC photos.
Write a short buyer note for packaging cost, including the expected option, photo need, packaging request or route concern.
Compare another product or supplier before paying. A small issue around unit economics can become expensive after international shipping.
Use margin check as the final confirmation point before opening the product category, submitting the order or releasing a parcel.
