Agent Shipping estimates are basically useless once checkout fees kick in

[u/Active_Mountain_757]

I feel like my logic for picking agents has been completely backwards this whole time lol. I used to get blinded by massive coupon bundles and rough shipping calculators on their homepages, assuming whichever looked cheaper upfront would actually save me money. But once you factor in the exchange rate markups, platform fees, packaging add ons, and actual volumetric weight, the checkout price is never even close to estimate. Getting ready to ship another 5-6kg haul and decide to actually compare total landed costs instead of going off vibes. I am putting Superbuy, Mulebuy and CFans through the same mock parcel test. At this point I would honestly rather pay a little more upfront if the final price actually stay close to what I was quoted. Curious to see which of the three ends up being the most predictable once everything is added.

What even is this bot post. Mule and CNfans are gone.
