Meet the editors.

Elena Marchetti spent seven years on the logistics desk of a European parcel-trade newsletter before joining the founding group of this desk in Porto. She has covered consolidation warehouses, customs handoffs and last-mile handover for eleven years, and she keeps the desk's timing ledger in a hard-backed notebook that predates the website. She signs off on every workflow score and every correction note.

Daniel Okafor spent four years as a warehouse quality inspector checking inbound apparel and footwear before moving into product writing. At this desk he runs the bench: he places the six-item basket orders, measures the garments, photographs the QC sets and writes the workflow verdicts. He has covered shopping-agent services for eight years and has measured more than 600 pairs of sneaker insoles for the desk's fit notes.

Priya Raghavan worked as a procurement analyst for a mid-sized online retailer before turning to service research. She maintains the desk's fee tables and timing ledger, rebuilding each agent's published fee schedule into a like-for-like comparison and reconciling it against receipts from our own orders. She has covered shopping-agent pricing for seven years and runs the reader rating panel.
