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.

FRAUD, you will be asked to pay by fedex again I used them to buy a fedex package. I was charged for the same and package was delivered and now from last 6 months fedex is asking to pay 200$ for the same. They are fraud company and doesn’t pay fedex, and now they are telling fedex system have issues. When I contacted few months back they said they have invoice issues with fedex and they will fix the same and nothing was done for the same and now they are putting it on fedex. NEVER USE THIS FRAUD COMPANY!!!!

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!

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.
