Build a Budget Shortlist That Survives Shipping
Updated 2026-11-09
The item estimate is only part of the cost. A shortlist that fits your budget has to leave room for the rest.
Separate the costs
- Item estimates add up per item.
- The exchange-rate markup scales with item value.
- Shipping is charged per parcel, not per item.
Do not add shipping to every item
Several items share one parcel, so a full shipping charge on each row overstates the total.
Use the budget filter
Start with finds under $30, then remove what you would not wear often.
