Scoring Orientdig against the alternatives
A board built for comparison should give you a comparable instrument, so here is one. Six questions whose answers are structural rather than promotional, and nine checks that produce the same kind of score whether you point them at Orientdig or at anyone else. Run two agents through it and the difference usually shows up immediately.
← Back to overviewOne instrument, many agents
Coverage, photographs, storage, line breadth, fee clarity and after-sales. Six answers, comparable across agents.

- Photographsbefore dispatch, and whether you can request more
- Storagehow long — compare this directly between agents
- Fee claritywhether components are visible before committing
Any agent unable to answer these deserves a second thought.
Six questions, comparable by design
Structured so two agents produce comparable answers.
Coverage is the precondition for everything else.
A cap limits how well you can check. Uncapped inspection is a real advantage.
Longer windows let you compare lines instead of taking the first. Compare this number directly.
More lines means more chance of a good match — and more to compare.
Components shown before committing make comparison possible at all.
Read the after-sales clause for your category before comparing on price.
Nine checks, same for everyone
Identical checks for Orientdig and every alternative. Rate each good, acceptable or weak.
Whether a lane runs to your destination, and its price
Whether extra photographs can be requested
Long enough to compare lines rather than take the first
How many routes are available to compare
Whether the components are visible before you commit
How tightly several items get packed together
What is accepted, and the fees attached to it
How disputes are handled, and in how many days
Whether restricted goods are listed openly and checkable
A ruler, not a leaderboard.
A ruler, not a ranking. Score against your own priorities, then confirm specifics on each agent's pages.
