Nadia Oostrum

Editor in Chief

Nadia Oostrum is the editor in chief of ACBuy Order Notebook, which she co-founded in Rotterdam in 2021 after a decade of buying from agents for a small resale business. She spent six years as a copy editor and then desk lead at a Dutch logistics trade title, where she learned to read a tracking status the way other people read a weather forecast. At the Notebook she owns the checkpoint glossary, signs off every hands-on score, and runs the correction log. She is the person who insists that a timing table is worthless unless it says which month it was measured in.

Pieter Vandeput

Reviews Editor

Pieter Vandeput runs reviews at ACBuy Order Notebook. He came to the desk from a Belgian menswear importer, where he spent five years checking incoming samples against size charts and writing the rejection notes nobody wanted to read. He joined the Notebook in 2022 and now owns the parcel bench: the scale, the tape measure, the rolling rail and the camera. He has opened more than four hundred agent parcels on this desk and can usually tell from the outer bag whether the inner packing was done at consolidation or at the seller. He writes the fit notes and the timing tables, and he keeps the archive boxes in order.

Marlijn Kessels

Research Editor

Marlijn Kessels is the research editor at ACBuy Order Notebook, responsible for the checkpoint glossary and for making sure every term we define matches what buyers actually see on screen. She trained as a translator, working in Dutch, English and German, and spent four years localising e-commerce and shipping interfaces before joining the desk in 2022. That background is why she treats 'warehouse received' and 'warehouse stored' as two different claims rather than one. She maintains the source lists, translates non-English interface text into English, and keeps product codes and order identifiers untouched. She also runs the quarterly re-walk of every explainer.
