From cssbuy spreadsheet to a shipping checklist
A shortlist is not an order. Between the two sits a short, boring and valuable routine: confirm the item, check the delivery options that are actually available to your address, and review everything before you submit. This guide sets the order out. It does not promise routes, customs outcomes or arrival dates.
Step 1: finish the selection
Make sure every row in your sheet has a category, a key measurement, a material note and an AUD ceiling. Items that are still unclear belong in a "later" list, not in the order. Mixing decided and undecided items is how mistakes slip through.
Step 2: re-verify the item information
Return to each live listing and confirm the details match what you wrote. Sizes, photos and availability can change. Use the product information guide as your reference for what to read and what to question.
Step 3: check the delivery options available to you
Delivery options depend on the route, the item type and the carrier conditions at that moment. Open the live page and read what is offered for an Australian address. Write down the options exactly as shown rather than recalling them from a previous visit, and note any restrictions attached to particular goods.
Step 4: compare weight and size inputs
Estimates usually depend on weight and packed size. If your sheet carries those numbers, you can compare options sensibly. The parcel weight and volume guide explains how actual and volume-based figures can differ.
Step 5: confirm before you submit
| Check | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Item | Does it match the listing I noted? |
| Quantity and options | Size, colour and count correct? |
| Address | Complete and accurate? |
| Delivery option | Is it the one I intended, with its conditions read? |
| Total in AUD | Within the ceiling I set earlier? |

Costs are easiest to manage in a table, so continue with planning a AUD budget. You can also open the Luxury Spreadsheet store or return to the cssbuy spreadsheet home page.
