About GTBuy Tips

GTBuy Tips is a small editorial desk based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. We started in 2021 when our founder, Marcus Feld, grew tired of shopping-agent reviews that never showed real measurements, real shipping invoices, or real QC photos. He ordered a haul, measured every item, and published the first fit check on a borrowed WordPress site.

Today our team of three editors orders and hands-on tests products bought through shopping agents. We do not accept free products from agents or sellers. Every item is purchased with our own funds, shipped to our Rotterdam desk, and tested for at least seven days.

Our testing SOP covers five stages: order placement and agent fee logging, QC warehouse photo review, parcel tracking and customs timing, unboxing and packaging notes, and hands-on fit or function checks. We photograph every step and publish comparison tables for agent fees, shipping lines, and size charts.

We freeze our rating scale at five points: 5 excellent, 4 good, 3 adequate, 2 poor, 1 very poor. Evidence-supported scores may use the full five-point scale, with limitations explained alongside the rating. Changes to featured products, agent fees, shipping lines or QC procedures call for reassessment using relevant evidence.

Our editors are Marcus Feld (Editor-in-Chief), Priya Nair (Reviews Editor), and Tomas Lindgren (Research Editor). Between them they have covered shopping agents, parcel forwarding, and apparel quality for a combined 30 years. You can reach the desk at editorial@gtbuy.tips.

An order in stages

GTBuy Tips follows the handoffs from ordering and warehouse QC to packing and delivery. We connect those stages with garment measurements, product use and the fees that shape the final value of a haul.
