Shopfans Express allows to send items to several customers in one package

Shopfans Express allows to use several customers when sending a package. So to overcome a 1000 EUR customs fee free limit that is valid so far for customers sending packages to Russia, you may just add several recipients to your package. Of course every single item may not cost over 1000 EUR if you want to avoid paying customs fees. But you may send, for example, 4 iphones 5S 64 GB or 4 Macbook Air notebooks in one package by just adding 4 recipients.



That's a really nice feature. It will become even more useful when the limit will be reduced from 1000 EUR to 150 EUR sometime in 2014.

Do you know any other package forwarders (parcel forwarders, freight forwarders, shipping forwarders) that allow to use multiple recipients when sending packages to Russia?

Shopfans package forwarder to offer vacuum sealing for clothing

The service can be useful for customers sending clothing, plush toys,... Thanks to the reduced volume size, you will be able to send a heavier package. And the heavier the package is, the less you spend to per kilogram of shipping weight.

Moreover you can hide a cell phone or jewerly inside the sealed bag.
