How this site is written, and what it cannot check
A method page is only useful if it admits limits, so this one starts with the awkward part: this site cannot read anyone’s account, cannot quote a rate, and cannot verify most of what a service publishes in marketing. What it can do is keep every claim dated, keep the arithmetic visible, and mark the gaps instead of filling them.
What this site publishes
This is an information and tools site about ordering goods through third-party buying and forwarding services, written for a reader who is about to place a first order and does not want to learn the process by losing money on it. The material is organised as a nine-step path from an account and a delivery address through reading a link table, placing an order, tracking the domestic leg, using the warehouse clock, judging inspection photographs, deciding on rehearsal packing and merging, choosing a line, and closing the order once tracking ends.
Around that path sit eleven browser tools that compute rather than advise: chargeable weight against two divisors, a line shortlist, a scoring card for inspection photographs, merge arithmetic, return cost, transit comparison, currency conversion with an editable rate, a packing list, a season calendar, an export utility and a budget ladder. A dated ledger holds the figures this desk could check, each with its basis and source. A snapshot of 218 catalogue listings collected on 2026-09-29 supports the examples used in the pages that need them.
What it does not do
Nothing here is a quote, a price offer or a promise of transit time, and nothing here is a service you can buy. The desk does not place orders, does not hold goods, does not clear customs, does not act as an agent or forwarder, and does not negotiate with anybody on a reader’s behalf. There is no account system, no payment route and no place for a reader to submit an order, which is why the pages describe what happens inside an account a reader already holds elsewhere rather than offering to do it for them.
That boundary is deliberate rather than modesty. A figure becomes binding when it appears inside the account that will charge it, and a page published on a different schedule, by a desk with no access to those accounts, cannot carry that weight. Where the arithmetic is reproducible, it is shown in full so a reader can repeat it with their own numbers; where the number lives behind a login, the page shows the shape of the calculation and leaves the value to be entered by hand.
Why the desk is anonymous
Pages here are maintained by an unnamed editorial desk. The reason is specific: most pages carry outbound links to a catalogue and, on some of them, to a service whose terms may pay the desk when a reader arrives through that link. A named byline placed on top of a commercial link reads as personal endorsement, and the desk would rather not sell that impression, even where the underlying conclusion runs against the link that pays.
Anonymity has a cost, and it is worth stating plainly: a collective desk is harder to hold to account than a person with a name and a history, and a reader cannot weigh a track record that is not visible. The substitute offered here is procedural rather than personal. Every assertion carries a source and a check date, every figure that could not be confirmed is labelled not verified instead of being filled in, and corrections are answered rather than absorbed silently.
Where the numbers come from
Listing figures come from a single collection pass over public category and search pages of the catalogue, taken on 2026-09-29 across fifteen source pages, one of which returned an error and was recorded as a failure rather than quietly skipped. The pass produced 218 listings with 216 distinct titles, of which 52 carry no seller note. Prices are the catalogue’s own displayed figures: a median of $36.18, quartiles at $22.53 and $53.32, and a range from $3.62 to $190.88.
The accompanying conversion average of 6.232 CNY per USD is the mean of the ratio across every listing showing both currencies on that date. It is offered as a starting value for the conversion tool, not as a market rate, and it can be overwritten in the tool by anyone who prefers their own figure. Because the snapshot is one pass on one day, it describes the catalogue as it stood on that day. It is not a live feed and nothing here should be read as though it were.
How a figure is checked before it appears
Each row of the ledger carries five things: the item, the basis on which it is measured, the value, the source it came from, and a status with a check date. A row is marked verified only when two things hold: the figure can be reproduced from the same source by someone else, and it does not depend on access to a private account. Snapshot counts, quartiles, published divisors and the formula that ties them together meet that test. The remainder does not, and is labelled accordingly.
Values that fail the test stay visible as templates: a commission percentage, a payment processing percentage, an inspection fee, a merge fee, first-kilogram and continuation rates, a free storage window, duty treatment and category acceptance. Each one is marked not verified and paired with the prompt to replace it with the number the reader’s own account shows. Marking a gap is less satisfying than filling it, but a plausible invented rate inside a working calculator produces a confident wrong answer.
What cannot be checked from outside an account
A service’s live rates cannot be read from here: commission schedules, payment fees, photography charges, packing and reinforcement charges, and line-by-line postage tables sit behind a login, change without notice, and often differ between accounts on the same day. Seizure and duty statistics are likewise unavailable in any form this desk would treat as evidence, and community reports describe individual parcels rather than rates, so they are cited, if at all, as claims with a date attached and never as probabilities.
Figures a service publishes about itself are reported as self-reported rather than audited. A public page may state a free photograph count, a storage arrangement, a number of shipping lines and a number of destinations; those claims are recorded with the reading date and a not verified label, because the desk cannot confirm them independently and will not present them as though it had. Default values filled into a calculator carry the same label, so a figure the page pre-fills is a placeholder to be replaced rather than a finding.
Corrections, and what happens to them
Anyone who finds an error can write to [email protected] with the page, the sentence and, where possible, the source that contradicts it. A reply is promised within seven days. If the correction changes a number, the page is revised and the change is entered in the log at the foot of the ledger, with the date and the reason, so the record shows what moved rather than presenting an edited page as though it had always read that way.
Corrections that cannot be verified are not applied and not discarded. They are held as open questions, and where a pattern of the same correction arrives, the underlying page is rewritten to say what is unknown more precisely. Questions sent to the same address are treated the same way: the ones that keep arriving are rewritten as dated answers rather than answered only in private, which is how several of the pages in the notes collection began.
The weekly cycle
Revision runs on a fixed weekly cycle with three obligations attached. At least three figures are re-checked against their sources; at least one page is revised, whether that means correcting a value, sharpening a claim that turned out to be broader than its evidence, or replacing an example with a clearer one; and one entry is appended to the ledger log recording what changed and why. The cycle is sized to be sustainable rather than impressive, and it is meant to be visible in the pages themselves.
Two visible traces follow from it. Every page shows a Reviewed date near the top, so the age of a statement is apparent without opening a change log, and the index sorts entries by the date they were last checked, which turns the rhythm into something a reader can audit rather than take on trust. Where a page has gone a long time without a check, that is visible too, and it should be treated as a reason to verify the figure in the reader’s own account before relying on it.
How to cite a page here
Short quotation is welcome and needs no permission. Cite the page title, the site name CNFans Sheet Path and the Reviewed date shown on the page, so that a reader arriving later can tell which version of a figure was quoted. Where a figure carries a not verified label, please carry the label across as well; quoting a template value as though it were a measured rate misstates what the page claims, and that misstatement would travel further than the original ever did.
Bulk reproduction is a different matter: copying whole pages, or presenting the tools inside another domain, is not permitted, and the catalogue data belongs to the catalogue rather than to this desk. Longer extracts, translation, or reuse in teaching material can be discussed by email, and a request that explains the context is normally answered within the same seven-day window as a correction. The full position on text, tables and tools is set out in /terms.
Commercial links and editorial independence
Some links leaving these pages point at a catalogue; a few point at a service page. Every outbound link is marked in the markup in the same way, opens in a new tab, and lets the destination attribute the visit to this site. Where a visit leads on to use of a service, the desk may be paid. That is the whole of the arrangement: there is no sponsored page, no paid placement inside a table, and no charge for a favourable conclusion.
The test of that claim is whether a conclusion ever points away from the link that would pay. One does: the merge arithmetic concludes that for a light, bulky consignment two smaller parcels can cost less than one combined parcel, even though a single larger parcel is the pattern a forwarding service is organised around. The same logic appears in /notes/consolidation-rules-heavier-parcel and /notes/splitting-one-order-into-two-parcels. Methods for judging a service on evidence rather than on presentation are in /notes/weighting-five-criteria-when-you-choose-an-agent and /notes/forty-terms-link-table-shoppers-misuse.
Corrections
If a figure here is wrong, the fastest route is email. Include the page and the sentence; a correction that changes a number also gets a line in the ledger’s change log, so the record shows what moved and when.
