GBI 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

GBSCAM!!! SCAM!!! I wonder why they are still able to do business online? Paid over $60 to send a package to Caribbean but received over $300 bill from FedEx. I wonder how much money they were able to get from their customer and they did not even pay it to the Shipping company. Why no government authority looking into this?

GBQuick 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)

GBCautiously optimistic! Used them to send overseas package, worked great so used them again, this time my package got held up and never delivered for a reason never fully explained to me! Package Hopper kindly offered a full refund which they didn’t send, when I kept checking on it they finally sent it to my PayPal but disputed it 2 days later and got their money back! They did it in a way that made it look like I offered them a service I didn’t provide and when I responded to dispute PayPal didn’t even review my document showing it was refund! Now I have a negative balance in PayPal because I had already transferred the money! Still trying to resolve this thru PayPal! Update: After multiple emails back and forth they have reissued my refund!! I am cautiously waiting to see if they leave it this time! My experience with them the first time was excellent so hopefully this is now resolved!

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!
