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.

Awful !! Do be fooled by their cheap price; for I had to pay much more due to their clerical error! I sent my 89 Lbs well sealed package and a carefully filed invoice. PackageHopper created a dupe with discrepancy in it, this directly resulted the Australian Customs had my package detained for 2 months, and eventually arrived with the box cut open, I had to pay Australian authority extra for their inspections. The entire time, PackageHopper by MyUS did not lend any help with the issue and their attitude was I can't shake them, tough luck, story end.

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.

I shipped a package to my nephew in UK… I shipped a package to my nephew in UK through packageHopper. Chose Fedex priority service. This was a gift but they provided me with a wrong form as commercial and that I was exporting the items. Now my package is stuck in customs and they want their duties and taxes. I got in touch with packagehopper several times yesterday and their customer service is the poorest I had come across. I was able to chat with 3 different people and they showed no interest in my issue and took no responsibility for sending me a wrong form but point blank told me that once its shipped its my responsibility. I wish I had not used this service and gone to USPS at least my package was going to make it there without all this hassle. They definitely look like a scam to me now otherwise the shipping costs would not have been this inexpensive.
