About Pocket-Screen, an independent guide
Who is behind this guide, how we test agent apps and phone sites, how the site is paid for, and how to tell us when something changes.
Independent of every agent and every finds list
Nobody who sells anything owns this guide. No shopping agent, marketplace, shop or social media personality runs it, funds it or approves its pages, and it does not reproduce anybody's personal finds list.
Pocket-Screen is a small reader guide to buying from China through shopping agents when your phone is the main screen. It keeps a catalogue of finds you can browse by category, a route card for planning the next step of a haul, and notes from our own phone checks of six agents. We do not sell anything, take orders or hold money for readers.
The guide is written and checked by the people who run this site. Dated changes are recorded in the changelog.
How we run a phone check
Our phone checks use a browser set to a phone screen 390 pixels wide, signed out of every agent, through a normal connection. For each agent we try the same five jobs with the same test link, a plain T-shirt listed on Weidian: paste the link, open the cart, reach the warehouse photos, run a parcel estimate and find the help centre. We record what happened, keep the text of each page and a screenshot, and blur product photos before publishing anything.
App listings are read from the US App Store and from Google Play on the same day. We note whether each app is listed, its version and its last update. Agent fees and policies are read from the agents' own pages, with a date beside each figure; where we use a figure measured by someone else, it is marked as independently measured.
We do not test buying speed, warehouse care or refunds, because a single check cannot measure them, and we say so wherever it matters.
Sign-up links and how the site is paid for
Five of the agent links on this site include our referral code. An account opened through one of them may earn us a commission or credit, under the provider’s referral terms. It does not change what we write: agents do not see pages before they are published, cannot ask for changes and are not told what our phone checks found.

Links to the catalogue shelves and to search carry a tag that tells the catalogue a visitor came from this site. They do not earn anything per click.
How changed screens are checked
Phone sites and apps can change without notice. A changed screen, broken link or moved fee needs a fresh check against the live page; the revision record should identify the page, what changed and when it was checked.
We cannot help with individual orders, accounts or refunds; those belong with the agent's own help desk, and the help desk page explains how to ask.
