Examples of fees charged by AT Post (Österreichische Post AG) and Shipito parcel forwarder in 2013 for sending packages from Austria to Russian Federation

Most of the time I make purchases in the USA. But I also wanted to buy some heavy stuff from Germany. And I tested the Austrian warehouse of Shipito for sending my purchases from Germany to Russia (Shipito doesn't have any warehouses in Germany, but the one in Austria works fine for purchases from Germany and other EU countries). When making purchases in Germany and other countries of the European Union beware of the VAT (when you send packages outside the EU without using parcel forwarders VAT is excluded by many shops).

Do you use Shipito or any other shipping forwarder? If you do, are you satisfied with its fees and service? How much did it cost you to send you package? See also: Examples of fees charged by USPS and Shipito for sending packages from the USA to Russia:
