Do not use this company. They are trying to charge me more than my purchase to ship. Claiming that 1 shirt and 1 jacket is 8.5 kgs! Ridiculous! Ruined my birthday surprise for my husband as it has taken 2 weeks to even get a quote to send. This is a scam and I do not recommend. If I could give zero stars I would.
I've ordered an important parcel which has been shipped to comGateway in Portland Oregon, now it's stuck there!
I'm desperately trying to organise shipment to Australia but can't. The parcel is status red. No clue or ability to deal with the problem on the website. No answer from any of comGateway's support emails. Phone number doesn't work. I'm completely stuck. No help available. Cannot reach a human or get any help. This is a disaster!
How does a customer get any support at all?
Sent very expensive pkg to them but ownership changed whilst in transit to them 6wks ago. I have proof of delivery from courier.
No reply from customer service or online support msg's.
Now seen dozens of others with same experience. Seems new owners are collecting packages and on selling.
I've used ComGateway a few times this past year, they've been spot on with everything, from notifications when a package arrives, to great customer service and responsiveness when I've had general enquiries.
ComGateway use FedEx, and each parcel has arrived quickly and in good condition. I cannot fault ComGateway, they are really good.
I've used Comgateway since when I was a student in College. I used to import make-up and bags from the US. Now I'm a mother and I'm still using them to get clothes for my child. I'd say Comgateway really has made shopping from the US a breeze. They have world class service from shipping to customer service!
I've purchased the "live estimate shipping cost", which I was told that the shipping cost is US$ 102.80. However, when I check on my profile the cost of the shipping became $132.05, the most ridiculous thing is that they also add a Surcharge of $38.62( which I am totally unaware of), Insurance of $4.06(fair enough cost).
The hidden cost is a rip-off and given a chance I wouldn't ever want to ship my stuff with such a dishonest company. Deal at your own risk!
Package No. RCPTB*******638
With poor customer support and service. My package stucked there since 2nd May and till today after
Writing to them which they replied 12 days later, nothing done. I paid in full and send them proof of payment with there shipping confirmation and yet goods not sent. Bunch of scammers.
4 times the normal freight cost was charged, they would not inspect the goods, the goods to confirm weight, goods turn out to be fake not real. Do not use this service its a rip-off to scam you with excessive freight costs.
From 30 April 2023 and maybe before it appears this company has stopped delivering parcels, including parcels it has received but not forwarded.
Company has become unresponsive to all emails, messages and calls.
I needed help from comGateway to have a package returned to the Supplier. I was 12,000 miles away so all correspondence was done on email and between normal hours. Time was running out to get the package returned in order to get a full refund. The help and support I got from Lores was incredible. I also found their online portal was easy to use and navigate through. All this has contributed to a successful outcome. Thank you Lores and comGateway.
Shipping rate is very high, since small packages all get applied 15kg rate on it since it is considered "bulky".
They forgot to scan one of my packages, of which I already had delivery notice, and was only registered after I repacked (which is not cheaper anyway, and will not compensate the repacking fee)
Entire process of using comgateway for an item took around 2 months or so to complete.
Imagine an item worth 1600 SGD ends up with 800 SGD shipping even with express shipment, there's delays. Item not arriving on time.

I began using comgateway about 10 years ago. Initially I purchased quite a lot of items and the service was great. However over the past two years I have used them intermittently and the service and systems are terrible. My guess is they have expanded too quickly and cannot keep up with the service levels. The shipping rates are also not transparent and the discount codes for shipping have become misleading, but you'll only know once they have your items at their facility and you have no choice but to use them. Currently and hence the scathing review, as I'm fed up l with them, they have lost two of my packages. And while I would like to work through these problems as I just want my purchases delivered. (obviously I've paid other suppliers for these) worst of all, while they automate all forms of your contact with them they do not respond and you cannot contact them any other way. Currently my two packages are somewhere in their facility. Most likely in someone else's delivery box which means they will be able ship my items to themselves which is my main concern.
Despite 4 attempts to contact comgateway over the past 7 days, with no response from comgateway I suspect I will never receive the items I have paid for.
Don't use comgateway.
I mainly use comgateway for importing The ordinary products from the US to PH and I tell you, this service never disappoints! I just love how they offer OneBox which truly helps me save on my shipping cost!
ComGateway delivered their promise to provide cheap and quality shipping service. Their process is easy to understand and they have lots of discounts for new users—discounts that will convince you to try their service all over again. My package arrived safely and well-packaged. They are truly one of the most underrated shipping services out there. Two thumbs up!
Service is great. You feel safe as updates on the progress of your shipment are frequent.
If they could do something better? Their website could use a little TLC for clarity and easier navigation.
But I'd gladly recommend them. No question.
Used comGateway rto shop pairs of shoes since they are not available in the UK. Everything went smoothly until some unexpected costs shows up. E. i. The duty and VAT were higher than expected. Anyway, I was really happy with the service which I would rate them top-notch.
They take their own sweet time and cancel orders at their own behest. Made an order 25 November and it won't even reach my US address until 18 December, so no chance of a Christmas delivery in Aus. 1 other order cancelled despite me asking them to proceed and no response when I ask why. Must be another provider out there.
I used them to buy shoes from the U.S. I had a little trouble at first when they said they could not find that brand listed. I sorted that. From there on, everything went smoothly. I was kept informed of package movements and dates etc. The package just arrived this morning (2 April 2013 Australian time) as I expected. I would certainly use comgateway again. There is a shipping cost added the goods bought, but my shoes were still about $80.00 cheaper, all up, than I could buy then here in Australia.
Bad experience dealing with comgateway. Arrange for a combine shipping to save cost, but they miss out others packages. In the end, have to pay base fee separately. Make me lose money and also late delivery of my packages. Be wary if dealing with them.
Answer: Steve P is correct! It is based on the higher of an item's actual or volumetric weight.
