Any freight forwarder like BundleBox, MyUS but using USPS for package forwarding?


 
I would to use a freight forwarder for sending purchase from american online stores to Russia. The problem is that BundleBox uses Fedex only, and while MyUS have more shipping options, it doesn't support USPS (United States Postal Service). I need to use United States Postal Service only to avoid any problems with customes.

Do you know whether any leading freight forwarders use USPS?

Shipito is one of the leading freight forwarders in the USA using USPS (United States Postal Service).

Can you correct your phrase, 'coz I hardly understand what your were talking about?

p.s. You seem to work for MyUS, so it is good to know from the first hands.

200 rub/month = 7 USD per month.
On Shipito I pay $50/year, $2 for consolidated package, $8.5 for mailing out my package. I fill in my account via credit card or paypal (they charge 4.13%) for the operation.

5 kg ~ 12 pounds
1400 Russian rubles ~ 49 USD

According to USPS Postage Price Calculator



you should have paid at least $80 to USPS only (2 weeks is pretty good for USPS Express Mail, since when using UPS you have deal with the customs, and Fedex is the worst option for Russia). And this doesn't include any insurance.

$7/month + $20 for setting up means the Premium plan. So here is what MyUS charges for shipping a 5kg package according to its calculator:



And here is what MyUS charges for shipping a 12 pounds :



So how much exactly did you pay for sending your 5 kg package?

Does MyUS charge you in russian rubles?
How do you transfer money to it?

And is there any mail-out fee when using MyUS?

p.s.
$97.98 charged by MyUS vs $81.65 charged by USPS Express directly. $16 is a good rate, but still not worth for me to switch from Shipito.

@jerryrocks

MyUS is located in Sarasota, FL. Your IP address is from Sarasota, FL as well. Do us a favor, reply as an official representative of the company, and give us correct answers. Otherwise your account will be banned.

Try to use Qwintry. It is smaller than Shipito, but packs parcels much better, offers better service and lower fees. Besides the warehouse is in Oregon, so you won't pay any sales tax when making purchases.

I'm pretty much satisfied with the Shipito fees

It is not worth using freight forwarders when you want to ship less than 150 lbs of goods from USA.

Sometimes it is worth to ship a 1 lb package, not to mention that not so many customers really need to ship more than 30 lbs from the USA.

See the exact numbers how much it costed for me to send packages from USA to Russia via Shipito and how much the packages weighted:
Examples of fees charged by USPS Express Mail and Shipito shipping forwarder in 2013 for sending packages from the United States to Russia
Examples of fees charged by USPS Express Mail and Shipito shipping forwarder in 2012 for sending packages from USA to Russian Federation

Used both myUS and shipito and it`s hard to find a difference among them. Now I`m trying another forwarding service, and when the parcel arrives I`ll let you know the experience

I know that this thread is almost dead, but you may try out Parcl. It has forwarders who can deliver to Russia using USPS. I used it to ship a thing or 2 from amazon, it worked well. No customs issues, double check for anything that might be questionable at the customs

Don't Trust Shipito. I have read you will not get the best from them no matter the sugar coating they do on their website. Try an option like Viabox. It's the cheapest, fastest and accepts bitcoins. I have shipped with them and surely satisfied with the service. Shipito is not likely to deliver.
