Daniel Okoye runs the Rotterdam bench and writes the hands-on reviews. He came to the desk from a packaging QA role at a household-goods importer, where he spent five years opening damaged parcels and working out which layer failed. He photographs every seam and corner before and after the drop routine, and he keeps the damaged units in a labelled bin for retest comparison. He joined Ponybuy Starter Notes in 2022.

How I test

Every review starts with calipers and a scale, then a fill-volume check with our reference load of a padded box, a folded garment, and a boxed figure. Daniel packs with the product only, photographs the closure, and runs the three-step drop routine: corner, edge, face, from waist height onto flat concrete. Damage is logged in millimetres by location, and the card is not written until the photos are filed.
