Reshipping Services

Hi All,

Does anyone have any comments or recommendations for reshipping services such as reship.com, viaadress.com, bongo.com etc.

These services offer a US shipping address with on-shipping to NZ to get around US online retailers that do not ship internationally.

Some of the above have poor online reviews floating around - I wonder if there are any better ones.

Cheers

Don't even bother, folks! NZPost does this - "youshop"

Way cheaper than the other services!

 

Those that do not? yes?

Shit, now you have let the cat out of the bag! ;-)

Or are you in advertising mode?

Seriously, if one needed reshipping services in a global economy (spot the
irony) then I would see if one's country offered the service, if and only if
I wished to keep some to the cost of the service in the country.

 

Why on earth would you think I would be advertising for NZPost?

How odd. I couldn't care less if the cost is kept in the country. I'm more interested in the service being reliable, timely and well priced.

I often find that items I want (in this case the new Kindle Paperwhite) arenot available in NZ and not available to be shipped to NZ due to exclusivedistribution agreements. However with this shipping service I can get one sent here for around the price of the old generation Kindle from a local supplier.

"JohnO" I was thinking along the same lines as you but then I read the 1
star reviews on Amazons own site.

It seems there are a rather high failure rate on this paperwhite display.
The hassle and cost of returning the reader to USA if I got a dud was too
much to contemplate.

 

Interesting. Amazon stopped supplying them this month, and none are being shipped until around 21 Dec. Maybe they had to recall a bad batch or go back and resolve a manufacturing fault?

 

We've used Shipito for a few years now. Have found them to be reliable,
quick turnaround and reasonable (price-wise).
