i've tried call them, but no respondsed
i hope to get by air.

coz if thru sea it takes a lot of time, a weeks like a month

actually. im looking for address in UK + forwarding the item to malaysia service.

i've take a look at their site, seems they cant be called like concern told here.
and plus, they also took a long time for commence arrival. any ideas where to get address in UK + shipment thru air?

is the item big?
I have once brought in an engine tophead (2 person to carry) via fedex (takes 3 days to arrive) cost about RM750..

nah not big juz bit heavy like 15 KG.
where did u recommend?

Fedex

VPost gives you three addresses: US, UK and Japan.
But they are pricey and I don't know whether it is reliable or not.

thanks for the link.
i've also found other links such as shipitito.com for USA

Are you going to use Shipito? I wanted too, but the website is not convincing
I used VSHub before, but they suck BIG TIME!

My shirts are only delivered after 2 months! They even stole my free gifts and samples.
Be careful ok when using this kind of service.

awww! sorry to heard that, luckly i didnt try them yet.
anyway, for shipito, yeah, heard many of my friends have successfully received the products from shipitto. seems for the moment the service pretty reliable and cheap.

What to do.. Things just happened sometimes.
Shipito? I want to try this service too.. Will let you know if it works.

i usually use International Checkout or My Americashopper..the cost is not so higher..ship via UPS..within 3 or 4 days can get it..

How does International Checkout work?

How about Parcelforce Worldwide?

I noticed Pos Malaysia appoint them
if parcel to UK.

How about the other way round?

Yup, I wanna know the same thing too, anyone?

how is the service for VPOST ? itzzit ok ? pls advise

I've read about forwarding company..but I'm interested to know which 1 is reliable and trustable..
please let me know..

I've used VSHub before.. Got bad experiences. Then stop using. =) But up to you, you can try it. Hope you won't be unlucky as I was before..

any other more UK forwarders are cheapest and reliable ? any more recommended ? i wanna tried buying some bag from UK website but i'm still looking up for UK forwarders.. need some good feedback too

VPost enables you to shop in UK. They'll give you 3 addresses : US, UK, Japan. But, I never try.
No idea at all on their services =)

oic.. i tried to register on their web but they need SG ID NUMBER when i provide my ID number in msia, they not allow

Hm? Maybe that's because it's VPost Singapore Try Malaysia here:

http://www.vpost.com/

I've registered before and it works. But haven't tried their service yet Good luck!

vshub sucks !!! dont use it.

try this http://www.viaddress.com/

Yeah, so true. Stole my free stuff. Super slow delivery (almost 2 months!!) and hard to reach them. Only by emails.
tu pun super lembap nak reply.

Seems very attractive, but after researching more into it, I find that it is a very problematic company:

* fake reviews and feedbacks all around the Internet
* inflate your package weight to charge a higher shipping price
* slow customer service response

I have used vsHub before and they suck. Package reached way later than what was originally promised. Customer service not very responsive as well.

Currently I am using Shipito with a year of virtual mailbox subscription and so far so good with them Just gotta complain on the latest consolidated package - bad box

Yeah, I've read about people complaining on the fake reviews too But strawberrygirl used Viaddress, will see if it works out good or not. VSHub sucks BIG TIME!!

u mean via address is problematic company ? why said so ?

hmm.. currently me myself are using it. i had received my box from fedex today. So far, was ok to me there reply my answer quite fast too. And i will used their free concierge sometimes if my card can't go thru the US merchant.

The three reasons I posted above.

Glad to hear that you have a positive experience with them. Have you ever checked if their reported dimensions/weight are accurate? As I have read from many other users that they inflate the dimensions. I guess they've improved their customer service then

PS: I personally have not used viadress so what I say is just based on reviews I have read online.

for UK.
try this.

www.alfasent.com

hi,

how was the service ? did u tried before ?

can explain more about it did there except free concierge ?

well, service quite good. they'll scan, take picture of the item and update on your panel. since they're using DHL, TNT so that should be fast..im still awaiting couple of items before using their shipment

oic... not bad i just register on their website. their customer reply was quite fast too. i think i should tried buy something in UK EBAY see how was the service from them 1st

Ooh.. New place to shop.. UK, am coming!

Hi,
I would like to know what is the best forwarding service to ship a guitar amplifier from UK to M'sia. The size is 26" x 30" x 16" and it weighs 68.24lbs.

I've searched around and can't seem to find a price. Also since it's an amp, it's quite fragile so I'm worried about certain freight forwarders throwing it around.

Thanks.

you could try air-freight that was offering by airasia
i read it somewhere. or better still use DHL

i had tried out alfasent forwarder services.. there are good ^^

Whoa, you tried everything Thanks for sharing. How's the shipping rate?

hmm.. shipping a bit expensive. then US forwarders. But services are good

Good to know.. ^^ Any forwarding service from Japan? Beside VPost?

US forwarded, what is your recommendation?

now im trying another forwarders Comgateway http://www.comgateway.com/CGW/com.comgatew...0gHc6G6ZELMg%3D
so far service is good. last week there send my personal order to my house fast service

Between Comgateway and Viaddress, which one is better?
You've tried both right?

so far i prefer viaddress one bad thing i found out is there communication between us are not good enough. i had been using their service to purchase quite a lot now. Just the communication problem.

comgateway communication are much more better then viaddress.. i haven't tried purchase a lot of stuff yet with them so not quite sure yet

btw, im looking for Korea forwarding. any recommended ?

how about video game, some electronic product from US, which one you all prefer, Viadress or comgateway? i'm live at terengganu, do Fedex or DHL can transfer my item?

This post has been edited by saiful_caocao87: May 18 2010, 02:50 PM

you have to check weather custom will charge you tax or not if u purchase video game or electronic. viadress and comgateway can help you deliver to your doorstep except prohibited item.

i already found, it about 10%. so fedex will pay first or how?does anybody pernah deal ngan kastam or fedex, dhl n dll?

This post has been edited by saiful_caocao87: May 18 2010, 06:25 PM

email DHL about door step delivery, i got my item worth almost RM 1500 x 4, total Rm6000 direct to my doorstep.
but it was like 4 months ago. dunnow how

after a nite of searching i found that Fedex will deal with custom. better try buying small quantity 1st, see how it goes. rite? btw, are you buying electronic product?

yeap mostly.

only fedex? how about other company?

Most of the shipping company will help to deal with custom with a certain charges. DHL will normally inform you that there is tax occurs ( only above RM500 if I m not wrong) . If you agree with the tax they will help you to clear it. When they send the goods to your doorstep they will need you to pay.

i got been charge custom tax before when i 1st time purchase my own item. fedex will help u clear out the tax and when they wanted to deliver to u, they will give u a call that your item been tax.. so u have to paid them for the custom clearance tax.

thankz guy. between comgateway, shippito, Myus, bongosus and viaadress there all come with different price. this base on 2kg item. comgateway charge about $30, shippito $50, myus $78, bongous $62 and viaadress $34. like comgateway and viaadrees, is so cheap, do you think there will be additional charge? do anyone using comgateway before?

check here..

Woohoo.. I've just place concierge orders by Viaddress ^^
Hope everything is working out right.

But it's not really free, isn't it? 4.9% charge by Paypal? Does every purchase paid by using Paypal will be charged 4.9%?

hi dear.. that day u sms me right ? omg.. my phone was in silent mode while in cinema. when i saw your msg that time was already 3am so i tot dont wanna disturb you sleep.

not only pay pal will charge u % but sometimes credit card will also the same too..

Yeah, I texted you ^^ Sorry kacau late at night..
They seem to be very responsive, updating us with the orders, tracking numbers and all.. hehe..

I'll update later k? Thanks for sharing Shopping!!!

ok dear happy shopping too~

guys may i knw, is there any forwarding companies can deal with customs especially on iphone and laptop without me going to those custom office or sirim office ?

I think forwarding company just sent your item. after that it between your courier and you to deal with custom.

Added on May 25, 2010, 7:16 pmcan viaadress lower our item value so we can pay lower custom tax?

This post has been edited by saiful_caocao87: May 25 2010, 07:16 PM

thanks for info.
ok guys,
can anyone list out the best, free forwarding service from US to malaysia..i guess, it'll be viaaddress?

Free forwarding?

Don't use ParcelForce if you can help it. My order from Manchester took 2 days to reach Heathrow, then takes another 12 days to reach KLIA. The worst thing is that during that 12 days, Parcelforce has no idea (i had called Manchester then Hull, then North London and then Heathrow where they asked me to call back Hull!) and does not update their tracker. Use DHL or UPS if you are thinking airfreight, really not worth the headache/heartache and evetually paying for more thru phone bills!

ParcelForce use which courier for your parcel?

i mean, paid one. lol
sorry for mistypo
no free lunch in this world

using viaadress, my item weight 3lbs, then there charge me for 10lbs.

Viaddress is not the cheapest.. I might be using comgateway next time.

from Amazon to viaddress, i'm using UPS, for sure my item is well packed. and for what viaddress increase my item weight for? from their calculator, it's say about $37 for item 3lbs, and i have to pay them $67 and standard shipping is $55, again from their calculator it about 10lbs. my item just $90, and Amazon can sent my item for $50.

Ask them to pack your stuff in smaller box. They helped me with that.
But still, pricey..

err, anyone knw forwarding service in or nearest to Pennsylvania?

i need the package kinda fast

here, i found this website, http://siteanalytics.compete.com/shipito.c...om+bongous.com/
it compare the popularity of the website been visit, shipito, viaddress and bongous. what you all think?

here's more;
Myus:

Bongous:

Shipito:

avoid compgateway at all cost!!

super duper farking slow response, dont ever reply to my email. sent 4 email. only reply once

and super duper slow update on admin panel. wtf

all my sales are being so slowwwwwww because of them.

This post has been edited by corallinkz: Jun 3 2010, 08:54 PM

so far, i dont have this kind of situation happen. they reply me quite fast also via email and live chat. although they are not as detail as viadress but so far so good .

Yeah? Then it leaves us with Viadress now So far, Viadress is the most responsive.
They do send me updates from time to time. They do reply my queries in 24-48 hrs.

viadress help me a lot of thing they made my shipment fast. and help me purchase those item fast and reply my inquiry fast too. what we need is communication, if u have any problem need to settle, just tell them they will help you settle asap.

i think you're luckly or they do have some good amount of customers now, no need to take care of new customer..sigh..
1st time using, bad experience, not so-recommended to these guys. and moreover they dont control facility in US warehouse. they told me from livechat, they dont have any phone no to be called (so that i can ask to speed up personally) and told me like yesterday they'll need 1 days to update. and when i ask today, they told me need more time, like 2-3 days to update my admin panel. for god's sake, its only 8 item i sent to them


will try on via address soon. do they need any verification before sending out item?

Yup, so, so true.. Trust us. An honest experience from a seller (strawberrygirl) and a buyer (me). Hehehe..

Added on June 3, 2010, 9:36 pmVerification? What kind of verification? Just pay the shipping rates via Paypal, and they'll process your parcel.

This post has been edited by solsekuin44: Jun 3 2010, 09:36 PM

yap, comgateway really slow. i used 'buyforme' service, 2 day letter they process. then, received an email say that my item will arrived about 2 days, then I get email that my item arrived 1 week after the day supposed the item arrived to them. but it cheap.

---

Added on June 3, 2010, 9:39 pmone thing i hate about viaddress, they charge my item twice the price from their shipment calculator.

This post has been edited by saiful_caocao87: Jun 3 2010, 09:39 PM

My parcel is weighing at 1.4kg (from Fedex page, with the tracking number supplied by Viadress). Charged for RM119.35.
Ok or not?

why you got that cheap? my item same weight as your, but double the price.

That's the weight you checked at Fedex? If you track your parcel, Fedex shows the weight of it on the left right?
I've asked Viadress to make my box smaller. So to reduce the cost. Memang mahal when they first quoted it!

I was like nak pecah kepala.. haha. Email them, they'll help you make it smallest as possible.

when to ask them? time nak byr dlm paypal tu ke? tak leh nak kecik kan, item ringan, tp saiz brg tu besar, so klu ikot volumetric weight tu la plg kecik yg boleh dpt. masa nak ship tu, dia kata kena byr kat 200lebih, then dh pening, terus je la byr. bole dpt lg murah ke time nak byr dlm paypal tu?

When to ask? Before paying.. I emailed them straight away after tengok shipping rates quotation.
Wait for them to reply my email, then next thing I know, murah dalam USD10-13 rasanya, I'm not really sure.
Dah lupa the previous quotation, but for sure, it is dang expensive!

They replied by telling me that, my parcel has been repackaged in the smallest box that they can.

Mine is barang yang ringan. Two pairs of shorts. Maybe that's why they were capable of lowering the shipping rates for me.

glad to know that i'm not alone. we should stay away from this company. at first i thought they were stealing all my iphone as i've sent all high-valued item to them, knowing that they is reliable, but sadly no response, no email from them.

any one have tried myus.com?

myus is ok if you always use them. subscription is expensive. slalu beli electronic stuff ke? lepas ngan kastam?

x slalu. haha. da kurang beli da.
ok. will try soon xD

about viaddress, u need to tell them your package need re-packed. memang 1st time purchase they will charge u expensive because u didnt told them what u want to do with the package. once u told them they will know what to do the next.
like 1st time i purchase my bag.. i kena charge tax by custom, because i didnt declare my item lower then RM500 >.< after i discuss with them, they finally give me advise already. and they asked me to declare the item by myself. so pandai pandai la.. declare regarding the weight, they follow fedex quote. u know la right fedex is expensive then DHL but fedex is much more faster and reliable courier service. thats why i dont mind to used them also. I try many time with comgate, they used DHL but i received the parcel are not boxes but is DHL package >.< i damn hate it. But Viaddress (FEDEX) they help pack so professional and put it inside the box. thats why u see their weight is much more expensive then a package. if u just wanted to purchase for personal user it is more expensive then u purchase via combine shipment.

slalu baca kat forum lain, handphone mesti kantoi ngan kastam. kena isi borang sirim la, apa la.

when received item, ask them to repacked then pay?

yes saiful,

when the goods arrived on your viaddress suite. u give them an email, tell them what u need to do to your goods ya. they will inform u again.

Hehe, I did that too.. No harm in asking right?
My Viadress parcel will be arriving next week. Jangan kantoi dengan kastam sudah..

yeah totally avoid comgateway, comgateway totally sucks and very UNPROFESSIONAL company. i've scold them like early in this morning, saying bad words then after that, ONLY they update like 1 of the package on my admin panel. wtheck

Have to scold them? Dang, this reminds me of VSHub, exactly the same. After garang2 sikit, only then they reply my emails. EMAILS.

already. they ONLY do after i purposely say the fxxk words to them. still 7 package with them NOT updaed yet

serious ?? O.O Oh my..

lucky i only asked them to help purchase a few item only not those batch. if not im going to die already.

seriously, well perhaps u MIGHT have some good experience some may NOT.
for me, its TOTALLY disastrous. this is the first and last experience with this sinGAYpore shipping company. phew~

F word? OMG..So berani la you.. Hahaha.
Well, it served them right! Waiting for a parcel is painful. Even more if we have no idea of it.

comgate dont give us tracking number like viaddress did..i got asked them before regarding this issue. they said they won't updated with us. until the item arrived at their US address they only inform us. i found out that, their location are quite far also. u know la, USA got many state.. thats why maybe their side is too deep already. No like viaddress in the middle of the state and also near the air port too.

maybe comgateway want to cut cost, they forward the item when there a lot of item to be sent.

This is possible.. But, will make us worry like mad la..
