Shipito

Shipito has been my favorite forwarding mail service, however lately the service been slightly trended down from packaging quality to the charge of shipping and the speed of processing but it remains on top of competitors at least for me.

Good job and Keep it up.

I had never used a Freight Forwarder before so I had a lot of questions which were answered in a kind and timely manner. My goods were consolidated as requested. The price was the best compared to others I had looked at. My products were purchased from Amazon and shipped to Shipito and then I had them shipped to Australia. Australia Post delivered them to my door. This is a real and genuine review. I found Shipito to be extremely helpful. I would definitely use Shipito again and happy to recommend their service to others.

I got my package, so I'm happy about that. The fees were high. I bought a pop up kids playhut from Toys R Us for 49.99. (Very light, not a big box) Toys R Us offers free shipping. However, by the time it got to my door, I had paid $57.49 US in fees. The quote I got before I shipped the package to them was $26.89. I did like the photo taken at the warehouse, and I appreciate that they have overhead costs, but if the fees had been more reasonable I would have used them again. As it stands, I'm just going to keep the one package and consider it a lesson learned.

Shipito is a highly recommended service for anyone who wants to send goods bought in USA to his own address in Europe or elsewhere. Shipping costs for small packets bellow 4lb, sent w. Airmail Economy, are often lower than shipping within USA.

AWFUL. AVOID THIS SERVICE!
My package got never delivered (not even a delivery attempt) until I got a mail saying the package is now in London and on it's way back. I was given the option of either returning the package to SHIPITO for another 65$ or abandoning it. I asked for a proper delivery instead, received no answer but the same standardized email. I wrote again, but instead of a proper answer I was informed that my package was abandoned due to my failure to respond within 24h. This is the worst service you could imagine.
NOW: Have you ever wondered where all the items of their auctions (http://auctions.shipito.com/list/page/) are from? Probably from "abandoned" packages like mine...

The first time I used this service my package never arrived, fine, my fault for not paying extra for insurance. The 2nd time they "misplaced" part of my order & refused responsibility for it. When they sent what remained they removed items from their packaging & sent them unprotected - how is this a helpful service? I thought I would use this service to save money but it cost me >$150, not including their fees & postage cost, and I never even got most of what I ordered. It isn't even cheap, they charge fees for everything. I would never use this site again & seriously advise anybody to avoid it.

This business is terrible.

The verification process is much to complex. The website is horrible.
The shipping calculator is totally inaccurate, I was shipping and the actual cost was 50% higher then the estimate.

The managers are rude and not friendly.

I would defiantly suggest going with another company.

I have now mailed out 16 packages from the US to Papua New Guinea in just a little over a year. Shipito has been wonderful and I have no complaints. Every package made it to the destination and Shipito has been so helpful if ever there was even the slightest problem or question I have had.

First, they lost my package AFTER receiving it. They started to ask me for invoice for the package. It looked like they opened the package to identify it BY CONTENT. Sounds crazy for me. That means, that they have many packages opened and messed up with them. I did NOT give them any invoice. Finally, in a week, they "found" the package and forwarded it to me.

Don't be surprised if they lost your package, or pretend that it lost and do not respond to your requests. I will never use them again.
