Major freight forwarders for shipping packages/parcels from Amazon & other US stores


 
A freight forwarder (package/parcel forwarding service, forwarding agent) is a person or company that organizes shipments for individuals or other companies. Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also referred to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to international shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents required by the carrier or country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this information is now processed in a paperless environment.

Many goods and products are much less expensive in the US, so it is a you can purchase them in the United States and ship to any country in the world (Afghanistan, Aland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Brazil, British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, China, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Congo, The Democratic Republic Of The, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cote D’ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Falkland Islands (Malvinas), Faroe Islands, Fiji, Finland, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Guernsey, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Heard Island and the McDonald Islands, Holy See, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Islamic Republic Of Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Isle Of Man, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jersey, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea, Republic Of Korea, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Marshall Islands, Martinique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mexico, Micronesia, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Mariana Islands, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Palestinian Territories, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Pitcairn, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Reunion, Romania, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-leste, Togo, Tokelau, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam, Virgin Islands, British, U.S. Virgin Islands , Wallis and Futuna, Western Sahara, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe,...)

The problems is that many US online stores do not ship to international addresses. Most online sellers ship to the US only and may be to Canada.

But you can shop on sites like Amazon USA, NewEgg, Buy.com, Overstock, Endless,... and use a freight forwarder (package/parcel forwarding service) for shipping to international destinations.

For Russian customers it offers its proprietary shipping methods Fastbox Express and Fastbox Economy via Russian Post. This parcel forwarder features no monthly or yearly payment.

All above mentioned freight forwarders provide you with a genuine US street address that is unique to you. This is not a Post Office box, not APO/FPO/DPO address. This is your own unique street address that many US retailers will accept as a valid shipping destination (Note that some online stores do not ship to major freight forwarders (parcel forwarding companies)).

Since Shipito started using Boxberry courier service for shipping to Russia, it became much more attractive to Russian customers. As for MyUS or Bongo US, I don't see why customers from Russia would prefer it.

Although I can recommend Shipito, I also like FishisFast a lot. I wish it had more shipping methods especially something very cheap, but not using Russian Post. But I'm happy not to pay any monthly or yearly fees that Shipito and other services force you to pay. These fees became obsolete 1-2 years ago if not earlier. With such fees the service becomes much more expensive and shipping discount may not compensate this.

Among other freight forwarders I have used I can recommend Qwintry and Pochtoy, but they are mainly good for Russia and exUSSR.

Beware and do not trust. Shipito STOLE a package of mine worth 700 dollars plus all i payed for shipping!
After 3 months (now it's 5!!!) they simply could not give me an answer about what happened to my item!! They had the paypal invoice of what i payed for it (700 dollars they even photographed it for me!!!) shipping was also insured. After "reimbursing" me for 20 ridiculous dollars into THEIR account, they made my shipito account INACTIVE saying i am "fraudulent". This company is a SCAM, i am a serious musician who buy gear online since 2004 and this never happened to me!!! Every private seller on ebay who shipped directly to me had his item normally delivered! Shipito STOLE it finding excuses for 3 months and when i started to get really pissed they simply closed my account to get rid of the problem!
SHIPITO IS A SCAM! Please people let's be united to sue them and have our money back!!!
