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.

They 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.

Is it a scam to use your company? I sent a package through Australia,by printing from my computer and paid your charge of $45. I just got a bill from FedEx for that posting for $198.You have gotten paid but FedEx saysyouhave no account with them, therefore they are charging me a ridiculous amount of money for an envelope weighing less than than1lb.andmeasuring7 inches by 11 inches.your.

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)
