I’ve been using Shipito for more than 18 months. I have consolidated 124 packages and sent 20 of them to Russia. Lots of experience not only to write praises, but also complaints.
What I don’t like about Shipito
- Changing service plans. Shipito has been introducing new service plans, changing current ones and removing them. This is very annoying.
- Hidden Charges. Shipito does mention that they charge extra for heavy packages ($10 for over 30 pounds, $20 for over 70 pounds, $30 for over 100 pounds, $50 for over 150 pounds). The most interesting thing is that they charge extra $8.5 for consolidating large packages. And if you have consolidated your packages already and the consolidated package is ready to be mailed out, then they will charge $44 for consolidating this package with another one!!! They call it a double repacking fee.
Shipito: Double repacking fee of $44
If you don’t request them to take pictures of the contents of the packages, they will charge 1% as an additional insurance. Does it really have to do anything with insurance? Absolutely not. Plus they charge 1% as a warehouse insurance, although it is not related to insurance as well.And how about their Bank fee of 4.3%? They charge it even if you fill in your account using one of their partners.
But can you find all this information on the Shipito Services and Prices page? For whatever reason they don’t mention all these hidden fees at all:
Shipito Services and Prices
- Blurry pictures. Many of the pictures of the packages they make are blurry. In many cases it is next to impossible to recognize the sender of the package. You can notify them that the label is unreadable and they will take another picture. But why can’t they always take good pictures?
- Significant delays every Chrismas and New Year. Some customers had to wait up to a week for the packages to be consolidated and sent.
- Account validation. Shipito requires you to send 2 IDs to verify your account. Moreover you need to send a utility bill and a notarized FORM 1583 to fully verify your account. You can receive packages, but not letters without providing the notarized FORM 1583.
- Limiting the size of the mailbox. Although my mailbox has bee 44% full at most, I don’t really want to have any limits. The more packages their customers send, the more they earn, so I don’t understand why posing any limits like that at all.
- Not working on holidays.
- No mobile apps, so you can easily manage your account from an iPhone, Android smartphone,… The web-site is not mobile device friendly at all.
- No branded duct tape. It would allow to identify whether your package was opened or not.
- Not perfect packaging by default for Russian post. Some russian mail forwarders know really well how russian post works, so they take additional steps to prevent damages of your goods. And you don’t need to pay any additional fees for this service.
- Poor customer service. I must admit that sometimes they do solve your problems. But sometimes communication with their customer service turns into endless discussion, when they don’t even recognize their own mistakes.
- Not perfect packaging by default for Russian post. Some russian mail forwarders know really well how russian post works, so they take additional steps to prevent damages of your goods. And you don’t need to pay any additional fees for this service.
Is it that bad that I will switch to some other shipping forwarder? The fees are not bad. You can find my examples here and here. Despite all the negativity mentioned above, it works good for me. And my Virtual Mailbox plan will end up in more than 6 months. If I see any better shipping forwarder after that, I will think about it.

US and Canadian private shopping sites that offer international shipping (and shipping to Europe)
I’m continuing to post my expenses on sending packages from USA to Russian Federation. The fees of both Shipito and USPS grow every year, so you may find it useful to compare the figures from my previous post for 2010-2011. This article will be updated each time I send a package.
Shipito fee structure
Packages sent by USPS Express Mail International from USA to Russian Federation in 2012

Total Shipito fees (not including USPS shipping and USPS insurance): $62.19
TOTAL: $304.24
Shipito service plan: Old Virtual Mailbox ($50 / year)
As you can see I haven’t received any shipping discounts this year, because I don’t have the Gold or even Silver status anymore. Plus Shipito added 2 additional hidden charges:
- All customers pay the warehouse insurance of 1% (has nothing to do with insurance – just a hidden charge of Shipito)
- All customers not having Silver, Gold or Diamond status need either to make pictures of all incoming packages (A special request for incoming packages allows to take 3 pictures of the package content for $1.00) or pay 1% insurance. Since I send my packages by USPS Express Mail, it is USPS that insures my packages (Carrier insurance) not Shipito. So again this is not insurance, but another hidden charge of Shipito.
Not to mention that they charge the bank fee of 4.3%. Yet again it is not mentioned on the “Our services & prices” page.

Do you use Shipito or any other shipping forwarder? If you do, are you satisfied with its fees and service? How much did it cost you to send you package?
Craig made a comment that someone has stolen his credit card and sent $4,000 worth of items using a shipping forwarder. Here are some tips that can help you to prevent debit and credit card frauds:
- Enable SMS (text message) notifications for all your debit and credit card transactions
- Use a separate debit/credit card for online transactions. Use another one for major online transactions.
- Replace your debit / credit card once or twice a year.
- Always check the web-site before making any online transaction (google for “web-site name fraud” and “web-site name complaint” and check the results).
- Be especially careful when making online transactions using free Internet access, from a hotel,…At least make sure that the SSL protocol (https://) is used or you use a reliable Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- Do not make any transactions from computers of other people and organisations (in a hotel, Internet cafe,…)
- Always have a phone number of your bank, so that you can notify your bank about fraudulent transactions and block your card. Find out whether you can use online banking or mobile banking for blocking your card if needed.
- Pay with Paypal, Skrill,… instead of using your debit or credit card.
I also recommend to be careful with software that you install onto your computer and web-site that you visit.
If you use Windows, I recommend to have a reliable firewall and an anti-virus. Personally I make online transactions in Linux or Mac OS only (I do not purchase anything from Windows, Android or iOS). Linux live CD can be a perfect solution for that.
What other methods to you use to prevent debit and credit card fraud?
Before making any purchases in the USA for International shipping you must check the customs list of prohibited articles on the Universal Postal Union (UPU) web-site. However this list is not the only one you must pay attention to. You must also learn about restrictions, prohibitions,… that your postal service or your courier has.
I use USPS Express Mail International (EMS) most of the time, so I check the prohibitions, restrictions and other information on the USPS web-site. The information provided there is country specific. If you need Country Conditions for Mailing to Russia (Russian Federation) by USPS Express Mail, see here.
Now I will explain why it is important to follow the restriction on the USPS web-site. I have shipped a dozen of jewerly items and a couple of watches to Russia by USPS Express Mail. I got them without any problem. The customs of the Russian Federation allows these articles to be sent to Russia. However if your insured package with prohibited items is lost, USPS refuses to pay the insurance. So if your lost package contained a $17 watch or a $10 jewerly item, USPS will refuse to pay the insurance not only for the watch or jewerly, but for the whole package!
