Paying someone to place the order
The buying leg is what you pay to have someone transact for you. On mainstream storefronts it is often zero — USFans earns elsewhere — while niche sources, offline requests and custom links usually carry either a per-item sum or a percentage. All of it runs through USFans' warehouse.
Read it as payment for difficulty, not for the click.
- Spot it on the boards. Screenshots, links and seller photos circulate freely — study them while your wallet is still closed.
- Check the shelf photos. Three to five free QC shots arrive per item, and storage stays free for ninety days while you stack more.
What gets added to freight after the weigh-in
What you see quoted per kilo is one component. Several per-parcel charges ride along with it.
None of them scale with what you bought — which is precisely why bundling works. The free window runs 90 days.

What your payment method quietly adds
Topping up is itself a transaction, and each rail prices it differently. Inspection is listed as 3 to 5 free photos per item once it reaches the warehouse.
Small as the percentages look, they compound: a charge taken on top-up applies to money you may never spend.

What warehousing costs once grace runs out

Storage is the one charge you fully control: dispatch inside the window and it never appears. Holding is documented at 90 days from arrival — the consolidation window.

- Numbers we can vouch for. Steps, storage and coverage below are lifted from the agent's own pitch; where a figure comes from buyer guides rather than the agent, the page says so.
Sending it back, insuring it, and other optional costs
Every return is paid for by whoever raised it, and the window is counted in days rather than weeks. The freight options on file: 200+ lines to 200+ countries.
None of the extras are expensive. Together they are not trivial either.
