What to check first
Some items look good in photos but become poor choices after shipping. Outerwear, shoes, bags and electronics should be checked for weight, box size and route restrictions.
- Check estimated weight and package size.
- Watch for batteries, liquids and fragile parts.
- Choose a route that matches the item type.
When to continue
Choose products that still make sense after packaging. If the item is bulky, fragile, battery-powered or liquid-based, confirm shipping rules before treating it as a strong find.
- Think about parcel volume before checkout.
- Avoid restricted items unless rules are clear.
- Compare route fit before judging the item as a good deal.
