About

ACBuy Tips started in 2021 in Rotterdam, in a spare room above a bicycle shop on the Nieuwe Binnenweg. Our founder, Daniel Reyes, had spent a decade covering cross-border retail and was tired of agent reviews that never showed the actual parcel. He ordered a pair of sneakers through the ACBuy agent, photographed the QC images, timed the warehouse move, and wrote down everything. That first post became the template for the desk.

Today we are three editors: Daniel Reyes (editor-in-chief), Priya Nair (reviews editor), and Jonas Keller (research editor). We are a small publisher, not a big media company. We buy the products we write about through the ACBuy agent, pay the agent fees, and test what arrives. Our testing bench is in the same building: a 2.4 m table, digital calipers, a scale, a lightbox, and a shelf of shipping boxes.

We publish hands-on scores on a five-point scale. Hands-on scores for products we ordered and tested use the full 1 to 5 scale. We explain every score in the review, and we date every page. Our contact address is editorial@acbuy.tips.

Reading our coverage

Our fee and QC guides connect the initial ACBuy quote with warehouse requests, the chosen shipping line and the item received, so the cost of an order can be traced step by step.
