Stuck at customs with a $600 fee I shipped a new laptop to Colombia for an employee's home office. The laptop arrived in Bogota but has been held at customs. Talking to FedEx, they say there is a $600 fee that needs to be paid to release the shipment and they will need to use another carrier because FedEx doesn't ship to the town I need. I've tried for a week to reach someone at PackageHopper but their website chat is unavailable and they are no longer answering their texts on WhatsApp. I've reached out to the parent company, MyUS, and they have said they forwarded my request to PackageHopper and I'll receive an email. After a week and three different requests I still have heard nothing.

Cautiously optimistic! Used them to send overseas package, worked great so used them again, this time my package got held up and never delivered for a reason never fully explained to me! Package Hopper kindly offered a full refund which they didn’t send, when I kept checking on it they finally sent it to my PayPal but disputed it 2 days later and got their money back! They did it in a way that made it look like I offered them a service I didn’t provide and when I responded to dispute PayPal didn’t even review my document showing it was refund! Now I have a negative balance in PayPal because I had already transferred the money! Still trying to resolve this thru PayPal! Update: After multiple emails back and forth they have reissued my refund!! I am cautiously waiting to see if they leave it this time! My experience with them the first time was excellent so hopefully this is now resolved!

No Merry Christmas for You! I sent a box of Christmas presents from my home in Florida to my daughter in Ireland. The shipper used DHL for clearance and delivery in Ireland. I carefully wrapped the presents and packed the box, unaware that each item would be unwrapped at customs. Since I had room in the box, I sent stocking stuffers, some mail, and other little items of no real value. I was also unaware that each item would be itemized on the customs form, so each present was unwrapped, each item listed, and I paid 5 euros for each item after the first 5 items. Seventy euros - on top of the delivery fee, customs and taxes - just to itemize mail and chapsticks! When the box arrived at my daughter's home, it was unsealed and the items carelessly thrown in. It ruined my Christmas! DO NOT USE DHL!

FedEx demand Same issue as posted by others. Paid Package Hopper$48. Received shipping label (FedEx). Dropped package at nearest FedEx location. Package was accepted without question. Packaged delivered without problems. But now 2 weeks later I have received a bill for $304 from FedEx. Surely FedEx should be billing PackageHopper. PackageHopper followed up stating there was a problem that has been resolved. So no additional money is due to FedEx

Service has gone down hill, missing items. Service used to be great! Dropped of directly to FedEx, arrived in Australia in 3 days! No better prices… and then…after about 8 months where they could not ship to Australia the service came back far more expensive, slower shipping, and an undisclosed shipping company. Short version; our package was opened and repackaged by package hopper (no clue why, we’ve packed before just fine) and a few items went missing. PackageHopper says they didn’t see it. So stuck with a He said she said limbo. Lost more goods than what we saved.
