      That depends on the method of transportation you chose. Let me use this screenshot again: http://i.imgur.com/kQeXflH.png
      It is example of sending package with value $200 to Australia, Brisbane.
      Most carriers have insurance included in the shipping costs (TNT, DHL, FedEx).
      With some of them, you have to pay extra for insurance (Airmail, USPS)

    I've had over 200 items posted directly to me from all over the world but the first (and only) time I used shipito my package went missing.

    Insurance was paid out so I only lost a small amount.

    I used 'priority airmail' as it was the only service available that was less than the value of the item I was shipping, this was my mistake.

    The insurance process was very 'American' - the attitude was 'we're doing you a favour', even though you paid for insurance, so don't bug us about it and you'll get paid whenever we get paid, which I felt was odd because I didn't pay the underwriter - I paid shipito…

    So, insure and/or use a decent forwarder.

    • SirFlibbled on 21/05/2014 - 13:43

      I've use Shipito dozens of times (my parcel code was into the 'D's). Never once lost a parcel. Almost all of them economy airmail.

    Been a with them since 2009.
    Used to use it a lot but not much nowdays. Lack of funds.

    They have improved so much since they started.

    Ive done:

    Processed Packages: 351
    Sent Packages: 180
    Consolidation Savings: $11748.35
    Postage Savings: $35134.45
    Total Savings: $46882.8

    • Radar on 20/05/2014 - 10:56

      You have used them a lot! How is your postage savings so high?

      Processed Packages: 153
      Sent Packages: 29
      Consolidation Savings: $5608.25
      Postage Savings: $776.59
      Total Savings: $6384.84

      I don't use them much these days because lots more places ship to Aus, and I've been able to get a lot of things from Amazon (which usually have very reasonable shipping costs).

      • Turd on 20/05/2014 - 12:18

        I'm not sure to be honest. Used them a lot in 2009-2012.

    How much would it cost to send an amazon paperwhite kindle from your Oregon warehouse to Melbourne Australia (3172) ?

    Cheapest shipping etc

    Thanks from potential new user

    • AssociatedShipito @ Shipito on 21/05/2014 - 02:02

      With our Airmail Economy shipping, you can send 2 lb for $16.45. The Paperwhite weights 0.45 lb, so that should fit under 2 lb with packaging and charger

  • [Deactivated] on 20/05/2014 - 10:27

    can i sign up for Individual Packages and just receive mails from that?

    edit: basically they're the same as the virtual address?

    • AssociatedShipito @ Shipito on 21/05/2014 - 02:04

      you can receive mails on Individual Packages plan, but you can have only 1 mail in your account at once. If you wish to keep more than 1 letters in your account, you have to go with virtual mailbox

  • homersyd on 20/05/2014 - 10:29

    do you offer surface mail (ie. by sea)? (mainly for larger/heavier parcels/items?)

        if you lost your item on the post, you will find great difficulty to communicate with them. Also the postal calculation tool never correct ! All I can say is that Shipto has bad business practice and can't be trusted!! Just buy from Amazon .They are much better and reasonable shipping cost than Shipto.

        • ChickenTalon on 20/05/2014 - 13:20

          I'm finding it hard understanding what you're saying. So I can see why there might be communiction issues. Buy from amazon… do you know what shipito is?

    I love Shipito!! I do a shop every few months. It's not 'cheap', but super worth it for me, buying things from the US Gap, amazon that won't ship internationally, anthro etc. Consolidating a big box is great. Fast and efficient.

    • netsurfer on 20/05/2014 - 13:59

      The main reason for using a forwarder like shipito is to get items that US merchants won't ship. Amazon US don't ship most items to Australia.

  • ValhallaR on 20/05/2014 - 14:08

    I have used shipito in the past,SHIT experience,BE AWARE everyone

    Last year,I bought some goods from separate us online shops,all posted to shipito address,asked shipito to consolidate packages into one,hoping to save money ,
    end up cost much much more.and almost lost my goods

    First,worst consolidation end up one huge bulky package cost even more than separate packages,yet online estimate still says you have "saved" halve the shipping cost
    Second, hiding cost,like handling cost etc ,which is not much,still should be clearly outlined for customs

    The WORST,
    they do not state what they do not ship, truth is,if Amazon not selling to Australians for some reasons,then shipito may not ship it to Australia.and you will find it out in a hard way,if you can not return the package back to seller which is at your cost, you have to give up you goods to shipito. it seems happened a lot if you google it
    In my case,I asked Shpito why my goods can not be shipped to Australia and where it says what I can not shipped on their website,,shipito's answer is that they " do not have responsibility to explain their shipping policy". ??!!!
    So I spent another hundred bucks to get my goods ship back to seller store and pay the seller to ship it to Australia.(so the goods CAN be shipped to Australia ,it is just shipito policy)

    • zhenjie on 20/05/2014 - 16:06

      • [Deactivated] on 21/05/2014 - 00:02

        sure fair enough about dangerous goods etc, but valhalla said that in the end the seller shipped the good to au, so they cant have been that dangerous

    FYI guys;

    www.USGOBUY.com has no annual fee, pay as you ship, no storage fees and no consolidation fees.

    I have used their service, they are pretty good, they even refund my money because the actual weight was less when shipping consolidated package to me.

    This might be good for people don't ship stuff from the USA too often.

    Hi rep,
    I'd like to buy a pair of Nike shoes from the Nike US store that are unavailable in Australia. Are you able to receive and forward Nike orders to Australia? I ask because Nike US state in their t&c's that they will not post to international reshippers.
    "Nike does not ship to U.S. Territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, Midway Islands, American Samoa, and Federated States of Micronesia), U.S. post office boxes, international reshippers, or businesses that forward packages to international addresses" (http://help-en-us.nike.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19279/p/3…)

    2) if it is possible to reship to Australia, will I receive them by June 6th (tnt express shipping)?

    • AssociatedShipito @ Shipito on 21/05/2014 - 08:29

      Hi,

      1) yes, some companies like Nike, do not send to mail forwarders like Shipito. Unfortunatelly, there is nothing we can do about this situation.
      What we can do, is offer to you our Assisted Purchase service: http://www.shipito.com/shopping-assistance

      2) We can't guarantee that we will receive the product from Nike on time. what we can guarantee is that with TNT Express, it will take 2-4 business days from Shipito warehouse to you.

    • Lichen6420 on 21/05/2014 - 08:33

      TNT takes 2-4 days once shipped (average of 3 days to me in Nth QLD)

      Shipito will ship your item without issue.

      The problem you may face is getting Nike to sent the item to Shipito's address. They likely have it blacklisted and will not ship your order.

      Alternatively can you buy them off Amazon ? they will ship to shiptio's warehouses no questions asked.

    IMO we should be looking at buying from a LOCAL supplier first, then go to overseas suppliers, unless the cost of doing that is exorbitant

    i understand that there is usually a premium to buy local, but think of it this way: with those few dollars you are buying you childrens and grandchildrens economic future

    we should not be selling the future of our country for a handful of dollars
