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.

So prüfe ich
Elena reviews each published comparison against the raw stopwatch log and the wall-clock photographs before publication. She checks that the basket is identical across services, that medians come from three runs, and that any fee quoted matches the charged amount on a receipt. She rejects pages where a timing is described but not evidenced.
