Research Editor
Shipping line timing, customs data, agent fee spreadsheets, parcel seizure records
6 years covering this nicheTomas Lindqvist is Research Editor, covering shipping-line timing, customs data, agent fee spreadsheets, and parcel seizure records. They maintain LoveGoBuy Tips' line tracker, fee-change log, and seizure and delay board, and turn customs notices in four languages into plain-English notes for comparison pages. Transit times from desk parcels and reader-submitted tracking numbers are compared by median with each line's advertised range. Fee tables are retested every 90 days with a fixed three-item basket; changes to handling fees or weight limits trigger a dated page update.

How I test
Tomas Lindqvist draws transit times from the desk's own parcels and reader-submitted tracking numbers, then checks the median against each line's advertised range. They retest fee tables every 90 days using a fixed three-item basket. When a line changes its handling fee or weight limit, they flag the page for a dated update rather than a full rewrite.
