News about Shipito Airmail shipping method

Starting January, 31 for warehouses in California and soon coming to Oregon location, Shipito Airmail Express will be available to almost all countries in the Shipito shipping calculator.

  1. For lighter packages it will be cheaper than it is now. The exact price differences depends on the destination, but most packages under 20 lbs will be less expensive than it is now.

  2. You will get the actual tracking number at the moment of mailout from our warehouse, there will be no waiting until package arrives to Belgium.

  3. Process is still similar, packages will be transported to Belgium and then shipped with tracking to the final destination, but due to the improved infrastructure, the whole process should be faster.

  4. Airmail Economy maximum weight will be limited to 4.4 lbs (if you already have heavier package selected for Airmail Economy, it will be still shipped using the old Economy method). No more confusion about Airmail Economy sometimes shipped as EMS.

Additionally:

  • No lithium battery restrictions.

  • Dimensional weight is not used. This is extremely important as most of packages by DHL, Fedex, TNT are charged as DIM weight.

  • Airmail Priority service stays unchanged


Update (November 06, 2013)
Shipito Airmail can no longer be used for shipping lithium batteries
