GBThey came through for a small shipment… They came through for a small shipment to Sweden last summer, so I tried them again for a small gift to the same address in Sweden and the identical item to a friend in France. I see that they have told Aramex, the international shipper, different weights for identical items. My biggest problem that they do not respond to emails or WhatsApp texts and their "24x7" chat service is never working. Their customer service is non-existent.

GBDo 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.

GBStuck 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.

GBNo 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!

GBMissing package I shipped a package to Mexico, but it was stuck at the border with customs. I contacted DHL to release it to return home, and it was returned to PackageHopper, not me. DHL didn't have my information so they couldn't tell me the destination where they delivered it. So I have a missing package and I hope packagehopper finds it and sends it back since it didn't reach it's destination Update… I was notified that Packagehopper uses their address as a return address for all international shipments, hence DHL couldn’t return it to my address. I had to pay again to have it shipped from Packagehopper to my house. They asked me to purchase a return shipping label with my address from UPS or USPS. It is now on its way, after more money. DHL was willing to return the package to its original sender, but they didn’t have that information to fulfill my request.
