Orbitsave Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. Why should a person choose Orbitsave over its competitors?

   • Coverage others skip: per-product import duty and tax for both the United States and Canada, with province-level sales tax — while comparable tools usually price the US only, or are enterprise platforms.
   • Price: free tier with 10 lookups a month, a $4.99 one-off source report, Pro at $14.99/mo (API from $4.99/mo) — a fraction of typical sourcing-research subscriptions.
   • No lock-in: it works alongside any store — a marketplace, a web store, a custom shop — or with none at all. You don't need to connect a store to get a number.
   • Accuracy you can hold us to: the >25% duty-overshoot credit makes the estimate auditable.
   • Developer-ready: REST API + MCP server for agencies and AI agents.

2. What makes Orbitsave unique?

   • One number that actually lands: item price + live shipping + US or Canadian import duty and tax — per product, per quantity (1, 10, 100 or 1,000 units). Most tools stop at item + shipping.
   • Duty, honestly computed: every quote shows the rate date, the exchange rate used and a confidence level. It is an estimate with an accuracy promise — not a customs ruling — and if the duty you are charged comes in more than 25% over our estimate, we credit what you paid for it.
   • Supplier intelligence in the same lookup: see the candidate suppliers behind a product, with variant, SKU and a ready-to-use order spec.
   • Built for humans and machines: a REST API and an MCP server, so your software — or your AI agent — can use the same engine your browser does.
   • It says "I don't know" when it doesn't know: if no live freight quote is available, Orbitsave shows no total at all instead of a number that would be wrong.

3. How would you describe the primary audience of Orbitsave?

   • People who buy goods from China and sell or ship them into the United States and Canada: online sellers and dropshippers who source directly, marketplace sellers, web-store owners, small importers, and sourcing agents.
   • Secondary: developers and AI-agent builders who integrate the REST API or MCP server, and analysts who need a per-product landed cost fast.

4. What's the story behind Orbitsave?

   Orbitsave started from a change that broke a lot of math: in 2025 the US suspended its $800 de minimis exemption, so most parcels from China suddenly carried duty. Sellers went from "item plus shipping" to a real import bill — and no simple tool answered the only question that mattered: what does this exact product really cost, delivered, once duty and tax are counted?

5. Which are the primary technologies used for building Orbitsave?

   • A lean server-side JavaScript engine — every figure (freight, duty, tax, totals) is computed in code; nothing is guessed.
   • AI models assist with product classification and analysis, and never invent a price or a rate.
   • A public REST API and an MCP server, so software and AI agents can call the same engine the website uses.
   • A fast static front end and documentation; the browser extension is Manifest V3 with plain JavaScript and zero build step.
   • Payments run through established processors — no card data ever touches our servers.
