Starting with Shipito.com

Righto, so after a lot emailing, scouring and stalking of forums I've decided that Shipito.com looks like it is a good candidate for the first review of a mail forwarding service. All of the feedback on their customer service, processing and pricing has been overwhelmingly positive.

So I found a really good reason to test the mail forwarding service. The computer I am on now is painfully slow and I have been meaning to get a new laptop. I went and found a really good deal from Puget Systems who will build a custom the laptop to your requirements. Anyway I setup my Shipito.com account who then provided me with a US postal address so I could order my laptop and have it sent to that address. So far I'm really impressed with the ease of use and the speed of processing.

And then... Shipito.com notified me that it had arrived and with it came the invoice for shipping. Wow, it was half the price of the quote I received from another computer shop who said they could ship directly to me. Apparently or so I learned from my couple of hours scouring forums, Shipito.com prices are low because they get bulk rates.

Ok, so no one jump the gun just yet and think this is a complete endorsement. I've been impressed with the process so far but what really counts is that my laptop turns up fine and on time. Which according to their estimate is 3 days or less.

Parcel Forwarding to Australia

After several undelivered packages from mail forwarding services to Australia from the US I decided to start a blog about my experiences. So what led me to use a mail forwarding service? Envy. Before learning of mail forwarding services I would quite often look at the cost of products overseas and be quite envious of their low prices. Now what led me to start a blog about mail forwarding services you might ask. Well it's simple - Anger. I was tired of not knowing if I would actually receive my package on time or at all and to add insult being overcharged for the privilege. Now that I'm thoroughly addicted to shopping online and overseas I think I should help other people and review the mail forwarding services I am using. Although I will give good descriptions of my experiences and will name the good mail forwarding services I won't be naming the bad ones.
