Priya Raghunathan is Research Editor at Kakobuytop, maintaining shipping-line, fee and timeline tables. Test parcels receive route codes and nine timestamps from order placement to doorstep scan, with tracking events recorded to the local hour and lines compared on the same paid parcel. Median and worst-case transit days are published separately, while fee tables are rebuilt from the live cart at checkout and weight bands shown with their exact boundaries. Priya personally runs the January and July rechecks and rejects figures that cannot be dated.

How I test
Every test parcel receives a route code, and Priya records nine timestamps from order placement to the doorstep scan. Median and worst-case transit days are published separately rather than combined into one average. Fee tables are rebuilt from the live cart at checkout, and quotes that vary by weight band are displayed side by side with the exact band boundaries.
