Anyone using mail forwarder company to get stuff from US?

[Mab74]

Hi everybody,

I just joined the forum. I could see that some of you are getting juices from US.
Many online shops do not deliver outside of US. Therefore I was wondering if anyone was using mail forwarder companies (like Shipito - MyUS or others)?
If so, what would you recommend to use as mail forwarder get deliver in Japan?

Thank's in advance.

No mail forwarder here. There are many shops that will deliver outside of the states. VapRev, FivePawns, Alice in Vapeland, Elevated vaping, vape Dudes.. I can go on.

You are right Phoenixstu but some does not like Alienvision, Copper creek, backwoods brew.

BTW, I would be interested to get your feedback on Alice in Vapeland and 5 Pawns juices. Maybe you can open a thread about it.

certain shops like PVliquids (NLV) wont ship to me, so i use a service called ShipItAPO.

I don't use a ship forwarder, sound costly. I will only shop at shops that deliver direct. If they don't deliver direct I send them an email to say they lost a sale. I don't mind a shipping fee but I don't want to go through a 3rd party unless it is family.

I gotta buddy back in the US that forwards me all my alienvisions juice ( i gotta have my bobas & gorilla) and wtvr else I need. I might be able to hook you two up and you could work out a thing or two. Or we could do a bulk order and split the shipping.

How reliable is this forwarder? And is it costly?

It is the reason why I am still hesitating about this option. Therefore I posted this thread to take benefit of anyone's experience if any.
In respect of costs I do not think it would be more expensive, considering that many shops deliver within US for free if reaching x dollars of purchases.

So far, I am not running out of juices. In addition, I started to "DIY". Thank's for the offer!
Just wanted to get feedback about this "mail forwarder" possibility.

I understand. But here's a big question that I could never get answered.
If customs rejects for some reason, would a forwarder return it to the vendor so that you can get a proper refund? At what costs? And in a timely manner so you can get your refund?
The shops that deliver direct will get the packages back if it is returned by customs and generally will issue you a credit so you can try again.

I've used MyUSA.com, but don't anymore since they open all your mail and repackage it and label it; nicotine liquid 36mg 10 bottles Of 30 ml. Luckily customs let it though. They are expensive. I won't use them again, unless I'm desperate.
