Sizes are a suggestion. Have your tape.

One shop's M is another's S

Sizes drift between shops, especially across Asia. The row where a buyer writes '170/60, took L, perfect' is the only real data. Stack two or three and the right size stops being a gamble.

The printed tag is a factory's opinion. The buyer note is a fact. Trust the fact.

Measure flat, compare to the seller

Lay the item flat, measure across, and compare to the seller's own numbers — not the size you grab in a Western store. Asian cuts run narrower at shoulder and waist.

Write the numbers down. 'Usually a Medium' is memory; the tape is fact. The note column exists so you don't rely on memory.

Basics run predictable

Plain tees and socks are the easiest sizing on the platform — cuts are standard, returns-style risk is low. Save your worry for fitted or branded cuts.

When a basic fits, screenshot the size you took. Next time it's a one-click repeat, no re-measuring.

No swaps across the border

You're shipping through an agent from Asia. There is no 'swap a size'. Wrong size means a second order or a closet orphan. The cost of guessing wrong is real money.

That's why the buyer notes matter more than the tag. Someone wore your size; read it like it's the only review that counts.

Shoes: size to the larger foot

For shoes, go by the larger foot and the cm foot length on the product, not the EU label that drifts between batches. Trend sneakers run narrow.

If the row has no size note, slow down and read reviews for fit. Guessing means a second order if wrong.
