Re-Shipping / forward Shipping from the US

fo55il · 10-06-2014, 10:08 PM

Hi Guys,

Has anyone used shipping forwarding from the US. I've done some quotes on some small things and seems expensive.

Anyone have an experience?

Thanks

PriceUSA.com.au is a great service. Used them many times, costs are reasonable and known upfront and been in operation many years.

pm naynay he just recently used a service that he was quite happy with

fo55il · 10-08-2014, 12:43 AM

Shipito.com has always offered me good prices and never caused any problems either

I have used myus.com many times, no complaints so far.

priceusa - I've had a bad experience with the lady that runs the thing. I ordered, item went out of stock, had to fight to get the money back or ordered from another place. Shit customer service imo but that was about 3-4 yrs ago.

also, it really depends what you're shipping over. find out what size the package is going to be and try out various forwarding companies. Fedex, UPS, USPS varies a lot in price also.. USPS being the cheapest option usually.

True, but its also the slowest by far. You get what you pay for.

Anyone got any recommendations on who to use to ship some rims from the usa?

Dan_335 · 10-09-2014, 05:16 AM

If I was going to ship rims or tyres I would use tirerack.com. However break your shipments into lots of 2 items (2 x rims or 2 x tyres) and space them apart, or you will feel the wrath of customs fees! (Tirerack ships 2 wheels/tyres to a package)

If I was going ship something else, I would use shipito.com, I just used them recently and I was impressed, both with the shipping charges and the service. I ship heaps from shops in the US and the shipito service was just as easy as getting a package sent direct from shop, albeit with the 1 extra step.

Shipito also allows you to collect multiple packages at their end, and then ship them in 1 consignment, which I am sure other similar companies do as well, great feature!

fo55il · 10-09-2014, 06:04 AM

Hmmmm. Starting to sound more and more convenient.

djpro1 · 10-09-2014, 05:46 PM

also if it's over 1k AUD you will be subject to taxes if the sender declares it over 1k AUD.

hence breaking it up in to 2 packages may be better also

naynay · 10-09-2014, 05:54 PM

pay me and i can ship for u using my account at http://www.hopshopgo.com/

one more shipment then i go to platinum status. 15% off shipping after that.

its $25 for the first 500gram then $4 for every 500gram after that. USD btw

naynay · 10-09-2014, 05:55 PM

and with hop shop go you can *declare* how much your packages worth

JulesM · 11-01-2014, 03:10 PM

So you don't have to pay import duties into Australia if the item is under 1k AUD?

Yes, however there is always talk about reducing the limit.

Cheers, I'm off to Australia next week so might try grabbing some carbon splitters off ebay.com then I can bring them back in my luggage.

I've used priceusa before a few years ago without any dramas.

These shipping forwarders works well if you can get free domestic shipping within the US.

Already got one of them, I am getting sorely tempted by a CSL bootlid though. We have to pay duty and taxes on anything imported over a measly £35 which sucks!

If I personally bring stuff back I'm allowed about £400, I can get a CSL carbon bootlid for just under that, even though the exchange rate for us has halved the the last 10 years it's still a lot cheaper than anything I could get in the UK.

I'd have to check with the airline how much it would cost to bring one as excess baggage, can't weigh much though.

In reality I'll probably buy one then have second thoughts about the hassle and leave it in Australia, then I'll have to resell it on here!
