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.

Do not use this company Do not use this company. After spending hours wrapping Christmas gifts and baby gifts with beautiful paper, bags and personalised tags, gift arrived in Norway with all paper, tags and bows totally removed from the box! MyPackagehopper has opened the box, unwrapped all the gifts and thrown all wrapping out! All contents arrived as if items had been thrown into the box with no care at all. I am beyond furious! What a huge mistake using them. Do not use these people, there was no difference on cost either.

I was skeptical, and then OVERJOYED I read reviews here, and understandably, I was skeptical. 50% of the reviews were bad 50% were good. The good reviews were shorter; the negative reviews were more detailed. USPS is not delivering mail from USA TO NZ. My daughter is a marathon open-water swimmer and needed Carbopro and some swim goggles that she can’t get there. I looked at shipping rates with DHL, UPS, and FedEx on their sites. My package would cost between $200-260?!? Package hopper was $65?!?! I threw the dice, followed the instructions, took my package to a FedEx store. They gave me a pouch, asked if I needed a receipt, (said yes), and crossed my fingers. I shipped it 3-5 business days. Dropped it on a Thursday, it was at my daughter’s on the following Wednesday! Exactly as indicated (5 business days). I’m sending a second package today. Will let you all know

My experience financially with this… My experience financially with this company was horrible. I paid 118.00 for a package that only cost 30.00. This company paid FedEx 30.42 and kept the remaining balance of 118. They claim they do not give refunds. Very sad. I tried reaching them and you cannot talk with anyone. I've sent several emails and no response.

Quick and easy shipping overseas This is the first time I've used package hopper and I was extremely pleased. My package made it from the US to New Zealand in less than a week. The process was easy and I will definitely use them again. The USPS has quit sending packages to New Zealand right now, and was more expensive. (Just an FYI - the delivery speed does depend on customs, but in this case, they released it very quickly)
