Über uns
CNFans Sheet ist eine redaktionelle Testredaktion mit Sitz in Rotterdam, gegründet 2022. Wir behandeln drei Themen und versuchen, nicht darüber hinauszugehen: wie man einen Katalog im Stil einer CNFans-Tabelle liest, ohne einen Haul zu verschwenden, wie Shopping-Agenten abschneiden, sobald Gebühren und Bearbeitungszeiten auf den Tisch kommen, und wie man ein Paket so vorbereitet, dass es die Reise übersteht. Jeder vorgestellte Artikel in einer bewerteten Rezension wurde von der Redaktion bestellt und von unserem Testteam bearbeitet. Wir erfassen die Zeit von der Bestellung bis zum Lager, fordern QC-Fotos an, wiegen das Paket bei der Ankunft, prüfen die Passform an einer Person und stellen die Ergebnisse in Vergleichstabellen zusammen, auf deren Grundlage Leser handeln können.
Die Redaktion ist bewusst klein. Drei Redakteure teilen sich die Arbeit: Marcus Vale leitet die Redaktion und die Agentenvergleiche, Nadia Brandt kümmert sich um Passform, Materialien und die Interpretation von QC-Fotos, und Tomas Reyes pflegt die Recherche zu Tabellenkalkulationen, die Überprüfung von Angeboten und die Versandkostenmodelle. Wir veröffentlichen, was wir finden, auch die langweiligen Ergebnisse — ein Angebot, das verspätet ankam, ein Stoff, der auf Fotos besser aussah als er sich trug, ein Agent, dessen Gebührenordnung nur in der ersten Zeile günstig wirkte.
Wir werden ausschließlich durch Affiliate-Provisionen auf Agentenlinks finanziert und durch nichts anderes. Provisionen entscheiden nicht darüber, welche Angebote wir bestellen, und die Position in einer Tabelle richtet sich nach dem Zeitprotokoll und der Gebührenübersicht, nicht nach einer Partnervereinbarung.

Marcus Vale
Marcus Vale
Editor in Chief
Shopping-agent fee structures, order-to-warehouse timing, parcel consolidation and haul budgeting
Marcus Vale started out in 2013 writing freight and parcel-forwarding explainers for a Dutch logistics trade bulletin, where he spent four years charting how small parcels move from factory cities to European doorsteps. He moved to consumer e-commerce coverage in 2017 and has been running agent comparisons ever since, building the fee-sheet model CNFans Sheet still uses. He founded this desk in Rotterdam in 2022 after a year of keeping his own haul spreadsheets and realising nobody was publishing the timing data. Marcus writes the agent comparison tables and the shipping-preparation guides, and he signs off every score before publication.

Marcus builds each agent comparison from a live order placed on the desk account. He timestamps payment, warehouse check-in and consolidation request, then reconciles the final invoice against the published fee sheet line by line, including domestic postage, QC photo charges, reinforcement options and withdrawal fees. He runs the same three-item test order across agents in the same week so the timing figures are comparable, and he re-runs the whole table every 90 days.

Nadia Brandt
Reviews Editor
Apparel fit and construction checks, QC photo interpretation, fabric behaviour after washing
Nadia Brandt spent five years as a garment quality inspector for a Rotterdam importer before moving into editorial work in 2016, first writing fit notes for a Dutch fashion retail blog and then running its sample-testing desk. She joined CNFans Sheet in 2022 to take charge of apparel reviews, and she is the editor who actually wears the items we order. Nadia set up our light-box protocol for comparing warehouse QC photos against listing photos, and she maintains the wash-test log that feeds shrinkage notes into every clothing review.
9 Jahre in diesem Themenfeld
- size chart verification
- stitch density and seam construction
- QC photo comparison under neutral light
- shrinkage after a 30-degree wash
- fibre content and care labels
- footwear sizing and last shape
So prüfe ich
Nadia opens every apparel parcel on the day it arrives and photographs it flat, on a hanger and on a body. She measures chest, shoulder, sleeve and inseam against the published size chart, checks seam density and stitch regularity at four points, and reads every label for fibre content and care instructions. Each garment gets one wash at 30 degrees and is re-measured after drying, with shrinkage recorded to the nearest half centimetre. QC photo sets are compared on the light box for colour, print placement and label text before a score is set.

Tomas Reyes
Tomas Reyes
Research Editor
Spreadsheet catalog verification, listing-to-parcel matching, shipping cost modelling
Tomas Reyes trained as a data analyst for a Rotterdam market-research firm, cleaning product catalogs and matching supplier records across languages. He moved into editorial research in 2018, building verified product indexes for a European price-comparison publisher, and joined CNFans Sheet in 2022 to run the spreadsheet side of the desk. Tomas maintains the row-reference system that lets us trace a review back to the exact catalog entry we ordered from, and he builds the shipping cost models behind our preparation guides.
7 Jahre in diesem Themenfeld
- spreadsheet row verification and archived captures
- listing drift between catalog entry and delivered parcel
- carrier rate cards and line-haul options
- measured parcel weight and packaging choices
- SKU and label matching
- catalog search and category structure
So prüfe ich
Tomas verifies every listing before it enters a roundup: he checks that the row resolves to a live product page, captures the price and size chart at that moment, and records a screenshot with a timestamp. When a parcel arrives he matches the item back to the row by label, SKU and photo, and flags any mismatch as a listing drift. His shipping models combine measured parcel weights from our own orders with current carrier rate cards, so estimates reflect the box we actually taped shut.
