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.
