I thought that I would give this company a try instead of MyUS and my first impression is that they are shockingly bad and they rip you off!
One issue is that there is no live chat options with customer service, so everything is via email and they are slow at getting back to you and it seems that English is not their first language thus the replies you get are not put together correctly.
What they also don't mention on their website is that they no longer offer a consolidation/repack service by combining all your packages into one shipment. I was only alerted to this fact when I emailed them advising that there was no option to request a repack service when I was organising for my packages to be sent out. It would have been nice to have known in the first place that they no longer offer this service as I would have used another company that does offer this! I was stuck with using them as all my packages were with them and it would have been a hassle and cost me more for them to send my packages to someone else to ship out for me.
They also state on their website "No hidden fees" which is an absolute lie. I chose the UPS Worldwide Expedited $72.37 option as this was the cheapest option to ship to Australia and when I go to pay for this, I get hit with a $9.03 remote area delivery surcharge on top of the shipping cost which is surprising as my location is listed as metropolitan and not remote. (I live only 10 minutes from the UPS depot). I further checked on the UPS website and my postcode of 3038 is not on the UPS list of remote locations and this was further confirmed with UPS via email, thus they have ripped me off of $9.03. I have never been charged a remote area delivery surcharge when I have used other companies to ship to me, so based on my experience with them, I will not be using them ever again. I now use ShippingXPS which is cheaper, better and has all the services that I require.
Scammers! Be careful! I have shiped three times with ship7 and all three times one of the items was missing and every time they told me they would ship it in the next shipment but in the end they stole some items I bought! Customer service is crap, I will reply when they want and they never solve the problem, they ask you 10 dollars for each item you want to consolidate in just one shipment, they are thieves! You have to stop them and check the regularity of a thieving company! There are other safer companies for the transport of your purchases, do NOT use this service from ship7, they are scammers!
Hi Alessandro,
We are really sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused. Can you let us know your suite number so that we can look into the problem and resolve it as soon as possible.
Ship7 Team
The company doesn't inspire any confidence!
My package has been delivered to my address S7-******* at the Delaware Address since 22th of December. The surprise till now nothing been added under mailbox in my account while they promise an update within 3 business days!
No online support available, and also till now no response to my ticket (#*******) which been raised since 27th of December!
The company seems in a huge mess, and I do not believe claiming the receiver of an unexpected number of package considered as an excuse.
I have trusted the company service from the number of positive reviews I saw, but the reality seems different. I feel very disappointed, and I am preparing my self to the worst (probably my package got lost!)
I hope at least online complaints can speed up the response and confirm me with the package!
Dear Mahdi,
Sorry for the issue you faced with. It seems like your package delivered to our warehouse after our business hours(Monday to Friday 10:00am-5:00pm). We have no records of receiving this package. Please contact to your seller and ask for the proof of delivery. We can help you by shipping any of your locations with the help of the person who signed for it.
Best,
Ship7 Team
Stay away.
First, they request a shipping charge of $30 for an item that weighs 0.1 lbs, and mark its "billable shipping weight" as one whole pound. They also only offer DHL, FedEx and the likes, and don't offer cheaper and slower shipping options, like the ones offered by Fishifast or Shipto.
Second, they open and inspect your packages, which I find unreasonable.
You can see that other reviewers have also complained about high shipping charges - I should have known better and stayed away. Don't repeat my mistake.
Dear Ygrec,
Sorry to hear your unfortunate experience with Ship7. So to sum up everything and to answer your questions you can see the points below:
1- We do not provide less than 1 lbs weight and each country has its own minimum charge. That is why you might get charged for $30 eventough it is just 0.1 lbs as you say. This is how most of the companies charge you too.
2- We have lots of different services for many different countries and regions. Just to give you some example we are working with SMSA Express, Aramex and our unique Postal Service solution is included in this list. FedEx, DHL, UPS are the major partners and working in Global scale mostly.
3- Opening and inspecting packages are mandatory for us by the laws and regulations. We have to know what we are shipping to any destination. We are giving this information to our carrier partners under safety rules, regulations and international laws. All other companies like us have to do the same. In addition to that we are providing FREE pictures to our customers unlike our competitors.
4- Talking about the high shipping charges is not so objective review. Since we can assure you we are under the average compared to the our competitors.
Please share your contact info with us so we can understand your exact issue and problem. So, we can bring a solution for it.
Best forwarding services ever.
Just recently had a problem with the dhl, and you know what, they still want to help me solve it even though they just sent the item, for sure the others wont do the same. And also very responsive.
So its convenience price compare to others, fast service, reliable and high responsibility with customers.
5 stars for you guys keep it up!
Cheers
I tried ship7 after I have faced bad experiences with my previous international forwarder.
All I can say about ship7 that they are a reliable company that provides and extra mile service.
Prompt response, fast processing and reasonable fees.
Highly recommended.
I've been using ship7.com for many years I've shipped to many different countries they've always gotten it there perfectly safely and on time. They give you a nice selection of different shippers and different prices it's an excellent service. Customer service can use a little help, But the end result is has always been good for me.
Great reliable service. They were helpful and got my delivery on board quickly. They also have emailed ship/delivery confirmations which is really convenient. I would recommend and use their service again!

Recently used Ship7 for shipping some products that I bought online and I am really amazed by their professional and fast services. I never expected that I will receive my product within 4 days of placing the order. Great work.
I wanted to ship products from the UK and was looking for a shipping service. One of my friends suggested me about Ship7, and I am very much pleased with their services. They delivered the products to me on time, and their shipping rates were also quite cheaper compared to others. Thank you, guys! Highly Recommended.
Few months back one of my friends introduced me to Ship7 and since then I only use this site because of their extraordinary services. The charges they quote are very competitive and above all they offer consolidation of packages. Love using this site.
Hi Wajeeha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We would even be happier if you can let us know what we need to do in terms of improving our service quality and get the 5th star from you:)
Thanks again,
Ship7 Team
I like their DDP option to pay customs duties before delivery, which saves me from a lot of trouble with the postal offices. I didn't even know that it is possible paying the customs before shipping out. Great option
I've shipped with Ship7 couple of times, and they've always provided a rather speedy service. Except one time. But, to be fair, it was DHL's bad (claiming that the package contained Lithium batteries, of which it wasn't true at all). Anyway, it took them a couple of weeks to solve it, but at the end I have received all the goods that i've ordered from the states.
I'll definitely use the service again, however, I'll rather choose FedEX instead of DHL.
Thanks guys,
Sam
It's a scam guys, I've been waiting for my shipment for almost 5 weeks now.
And haven't received it yet. Contacted customer support more than 30-40 times, and they always reply with the classic "warehouse team is still looking for your packages".
Contacted DHL and they've returned the package back to them, but they denied it.
Anyway, I have attached some of the emails as a proof.
My suite number is: S7-215712
My email: samysayed@hotmail.com
They offer the lowest shipping rates if you prefer to ship with their postal economy service. I received four packages with Ship7 so far, and I've faced no major issue during covid times. Cheap and reliable company.
The entire Ship 7 Team operates with complete promptness, accuracy and enthusiasm. They provide updates at every step of the shipment, very methodical and professional regarding shipment security and KYC details.
And their online chats and prompt email replies are excellent, beyond words to describe.
I would highly recommend Ship7 to all who are looking for international shipping of their products or purchases, and all within a decent budget.
Three cheers for Ship 7 from my side, will definitely use the same service in the future too.
It's my first time using Ship7 and i am not disappointed. They are a company worth keeping and go extra miles for their customers. I had a special request that they made possible so I can save money. Thank You Ship7
Ship7 is absolutely AMAZING! I love this store because they offer beautiful, high-quality fabrics that I can't find anywhere else. Plus their staff are awesome which makes the shopping experience fantastic!
Initially my package that has surely arrived several days ago to their UK warehouse was not registered in my mailbox and I got no reply for repeated emails for their customer support. Finally I grew desperate and complained here and on Trustpilot and then things started moving, I got an email from the support, they found my package and dispatched it also in due time.
I think their system and processes are lousy as it hasn't happened to me already in the past few years that a webshop / package service would have had such a delay in communication.
The company doesn't inspire any confidence!
They received my package from Ebay on my address S7-202931 already three working days ago (update is promised within 1 business day on their UK address!) but it still didn't appear in my Mailbox.
Online support is non-existent, it's always offline (!) and I submitted a ticket a day ago and still no reply on that as well.
After reading all the negative reviews here and on Trustpilot I brace myself for the worst - probably I can forget about my package. This company seems to be a big mess and all positive reviews are probably just a fake. Even if they ever revert to me and find my package then I'm also expecting a heavily overcharged shipping.
I just turned to online complaints as a last resort, maybe it helps to get some reply.
Otherwise you should avoid Ship7!
I wanted to express my gratitude to the whole team of Ship7. They are all quick to respond and get everything we ask them to accomplished. Satisfied with their shipping service. Would recommend them to others.
Answer: Hi Alastair, She had a problem with her credit card so we weren't able to charge her. And at the time we haven't fully activated live chat feature on our website so she got frustrated for a while. And then we resolved the problem and shipped out her items but apparently she didn't come back and write anything else on review sites. We wish she did though; but her final thoughts was not this bad as compared to her initial comments here. We tried to reach out to her later on, we even responded to her review here, but could not get a response from her. I hope this helps.
Answer: Dear Terry, Thank you for getting in touch with us and sorry to hear that you are stuck in New Zealand. Please see our answer below: Yes, your sister can ship it by using one of our partners in shipping and their name is Shipixy. If she is living in the US, she can just go to the www.shipixy.com website and create an account over there then she just has to enter the details of the shipment. Once she is done with entering Shipixy will give a quote to her, after the payment Shipixy will provide the shipping label and all she has to do is to drop off the package at a FedEx drop-off location. We hope this will help you and your sister with the shipping. Best Regards, Ship7 Team
Answer: Hi Wiljean, yes we do. Please check out https://ship7.com/prices page for our shipping costs.

Dear Customer,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced, and we truly appreciate your patience in this matter.
Ship7 had been offering a repacking service for the past 6-7 years. However, we officially discontinued this service on February 19th, 2024. While we updated our website and notified our customers in several places, we regret that some areas were missed during these updates. We understand how this could have caused confusion, and we are actively reviewing and correcting those sections of the website to ensure consistency. We truly apologize for any misleading information this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
Please note, we have long-standing customers who ship with us frequently. In special cases, if they request repacking for multiple smaller packages, we evaluate the feasibility and, as an exception, may offer repacking services for an additional fee. This was the case with your request, where we agreed to repack your shipment as a one-time courtesy.
We also want to clarify that our customer support team is available through three platforms: Email, Ticket, and Live Chat. Our live chat service operates from 9 AM to 6 PM EST, Monday to Friday, with closures on weekends and federal holidays.
Regarding the UPS remote area delivery charges, we understand your concern. Typically, once a remote area surcharge is assessed, it should not appear again unless UPS revises their rates. The charge you encountered seems to be a rare error in the carrier’s system. We have already contacted UPS and requested an urgent review of the issue. Once resolved, the remote area delivery charges should no longer appear in your Ship7 account.
As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to refund the $9.03 remote area delivery fee you paid. Please let us know if you'd prefer the refund to be credited to your Ship7 account or directly to your PayPal account. If you choose PayPal, kindly provide your PayPal account email address.
We hope this explanation clarifies the situation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are committed to addressing any outstanding issues and ensuring a smooth experience moving forward.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience and kindly request that you consider revising your review based on your overall experience with Ship7.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Regards,
Ship7.
