Guide 20 · Checklist

Your final shopping checklist for cssbuy spreadsheet

This is the last page of the series and the one to bookmark. It folds the earlier guides into one routine you can run every time: choose, size, budget, deliver, offer, and only then continue to the store. Each step points back to the guide that explains it.

Tidy desk with a ticked checklist, laptop and coffee — A routine you can repeat is worth more than a clever one-off.

Step 1: choose with a job in mind

Write what the item is for: a commute, a campus week, a weekend trip. Pick the shelf from the twelve categories using the category map, and keep to three candidates per shelf.

Step 2: size from measurements

Compare centimetres, not labels. For clothing and shoes, use the methods in the clothing guide and the sneaker sizing guide. If a listing gives no measurements, mark it "ask first".

Step 3: verify the listing

Re-read each live listing on the day. Use the verification guide to check size, material, photos, availability, after-sales and delivery notes. Anything unanswered becomes a question for the source.

Step 4: cost it in AUD

Fill the four columns from the budget guide: item, domestic leg, international freight, possible extras. Keep a buffer. We never convert or quote, so every figure should be read from a live page.

Step 5: check delivery

Follow the order in the shipping checklist, and remember that weight and volume both matter. No route, clearance outcome or date is guaranteed.

Step 6: check offers last

Run any offer through the six checks in the coupon guide. Treat savings as a bonus that only counts once the checkout total changes.

One table to rule them all

Step	Question	Done when
Choose	Does it fit the job?	Use and shelf are written
Size	Do numbers match what I own?	Measurements compared
Verify	Is the live page consistent with my notes?	Date checked recorded
Cost	Is the total within my AUD ceiling?	Four columns filled
Deliver	Are options and limits read?	Live notes recorded
Offer	Do the conditions apply?	Checkout total confirmed

When all six are done, continue to the store. The purchase itself, and every figure you rely on, lives on Luxury Spreadsheet and not on this guide.

The final pass

Every listing has been re-read on the day.
The AUD total is within the ceiling, with a buffer.
Delivery options and limits have been read.
Offer conditions have been checked, not assumed.
Open questions have been sent to the source.

Where to go next

You can start again from the cssbuy spreadsheet home page, or revisit the category map to pick your next shelf. When you are ready, open the Luxury Spreadsheet store.
