Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 105 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, often describing the service as reliable and consistently trustworthy. Customers found the process easy to set up and appreciated the quick delivery once packages were processed, with many noting the speed of international shipments. The customer service received high praise for being helpful, communicative, and responsive, often exceeding expectations. Many people were pleased with the ability to obtain products not available locally and highlighted the careful packaging of their items. However, some customers were dissatisfied with the pricing, finding it higher than expected or inconsistent with initial estimates, particularly regarding tariffs and brokerage charges. There were also concerns about a lack of transparency in pricing, especially regarding customs documentation and the calculation of dimensional weight, leading to perceived overcharging. A few reviewers experienced delays in processing and shipping, and some felt that consolidation services did not effectively reduce costs as expected.

Great customer service

Great customer service and communication. There was an issue caused by the shipper (DHL) and Shipbymail was very helpful in getting it resolved. I would definitely use their service again.

I am SO grateful I found ShipByMail!

I was apprehensive but desperately needed a product for my small business from a Canadian vendor that no longer ships to the U.S. so I decided to give ShipByMail a try. It was easy to set up an account and when I had a couple of questions, customer service got back to me quickly, via email, which I appreciate, because with my busy schedule, I'm hard to reach by phone. I am SO grateful I found this service and won't hesitate to use them again.

This is awesome forwarder company in Canada

This is awesome forward company. I have tried different forwarder address to ship my package to Papua New Zealand, however, shipbymail is I can say best. All payments method are good, shipping method are good and shipping prices are reasonable.

Also good customer services with good communication.

Easy process and quick turnaround!

I was looking everywhere for a camera that was sold out across the US when I came across it in stock in the brand's Canadian store. They could only ship to a Canadian address so I came across Shipbymail during my mail forwarder search. Within a few hours of my package being delivered to their warehouse, I got an email notification and the next day, it was on its way to me! All in all, it was a very smooth process which I would do again!

Customs got a hand of it

Everything was good, but my package got opened by customs and my boxing gloves have been taken out of the wrapping and I got my package back and it was not even closed.

Straight-forward process, even for first-timers.

The shipping process went well, and a 3-shipment order was consolidated into a compact parcel that arrived super-fast in Australia by Canada Post Xpresspost International at a cost that was not much more than if I had sent it myself.
The only twist was that two of the three shipments were delivered to Shipbymail when its Vancouver office was closed (open 9am to 2pm Mon-Fri) but both succeeded on the second attempt.

A great company!

I was a little nervous at first! I was trying to get a suit from China, but it kept getting returned to the maker by customs. I decided to use this forwarding service, and even though it took a while, I got my product safely! I am super happy and the whole process was really easy! I will be using this service again the next time I have a big purchase!
