Some comments about Shipito
After having used Shipito.com for almost a year now. I can safely say I 100% recommend them. My Christmas presents arrived in good shape and time. Shipito.com are reliable and well priced and offer many options to get your packages to you in the manner you want. Consolidating many purchases into one package is one really effective way of saving on the shipping costs. Shipito.com offers this and with their order page it's easy to make happen.

My experience with Shipito.com
Ok it has been 2 months without an update but it has been worth it. Over the last couple of months I've been using Shipito.com. I was going to use them for a couple of months and report my experiences as I went. Well I got a little busy and a little lazy. Still I figure I should let everyone know how it went so they won't have to scour the web for reliable parcel forwarding services like I have.
I've had 16 orders delivered by Shipito.com and not had a single problem. If you want they will even hold on to parcels they receive and them collate them in to one bigger package in order to save shipping costs. I'd say that I've probably saved a large fraction of what I'd normally spend on shipping.
Their system uses an intuitive web interface to request shipping methods (USPS Express/Priority, Fed Ex Economy/Priority etc) and deposit your funds. Even the Customs import/export forms are completed through the website. Everything I've had to do so far has been done through their website. No emailing, faxing or wasting your time.
So in conclusion I would say I'm thoroughly impressed with Shipito.com. After receiving a laptop, electronics, jewellery, makeup plus other stuff through their service I can say they delivered as promised. If you have any questions then ask away in the comments section.

Reviewing Shipito.com
Alright, 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 parcel 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 parcel 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 was 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.
Here is an informative little widget with examples of shipping prices. Check it out below.

Parcel Forwarding Services
After several undelivered packages from parcel forwarding services I decided to start a blog about my experiences. So what led me to use a parcel forwarding service? Envy. Before learning of parcel 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 parcel 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 parcel forwarding services I am using. Although I will give good descriptions of my experiences and will name the good parcel forwarding services I won't be naming the bad ones for legal reasons. Thanks to Sara I've found the first Parcel Forwarding site I'll review www.shipito.com.
