Hi everybody,
I once had a hard time in choosing a package forwarding service for my shopping needs, we all know some US sellers do not ship internationally, or they ask for a HIGH rate. That is why we need package forwarding, hoping to save some bucks.
After trying several major package forwarding services, I find it necessary to do a comparison and know what their respective advantages are that will save your money; and in what aspects you might spend extra!
So I will compare the package forwarding service in terms of membership fees, package handling fee, repacking or consolidation fees, storage fee, product image fees, personal shopper fee, and shipping rate finally!
Package Forwarder MyUS
Shipito MyUS Reship
Membership $10-$195 $10-50
Free $5/pack
Handling Free for premium $1-$2
Free $5-$7
Storage $1/day (30 day free) $1-$2 Free 90 days Free 90days
Image N/A N/A 7 pics free $5 /5 pics
Personal shopper 5%-10% 8% 5% 5% ($10+)
Shipping to Canada $52 to $35.42 $40.26 Not available
From the above comparison, we can see that there is no perfect package forwarders that fit the needs of all, though USGoBuy seems to offer more free services than others, and its shipping rate is of medium level. You save on one aspect, but will lose in another way. So how to make the decision, it is up to your needs!
All I want to point out is you should never stop at shipping rate, cause there are many other things that cause extra costs when using a package forwarding service!
