Is it worth using a freight forwarder for purchasing few cheap items in the USA from Russia and other countries overseas?

I got the following question from my friend:

I was trying to learn about freight forwarders like Shipito, but still can't find out what to do. I don't need a huge TV from the USA, I just want to buy some clothing for this fall. It can be from Walmart, for example. But if I will only buy a couple of hoodies for $30, will it make sense to ship them to Russia via a freight forwarder? Or will it cost the same ($100 for a couple of hoodies) if purchased in an offline retail store in Moscow?

Let's find out. We want to purchase 2 hoodies in Walmart or some other store which cost $15 each. Let's assume that shipping is free.

Free Shipito account allows to mail out your package for $8.5. Let's assume that the store will ship both hoodies in one package. Otherwise you will need to consolidate 2 packages and it will cost $10 (monthly subscription) and $4.5 for each package, totaling at $10 + $4.5 * 2 = $19.

Shipito Airmail Priority and Economy are cheap for light, small and inexpensive packages. Some rates for my several packages that are now in the Shipito warehouse in Oregon:

[caption id="attachment_2533" align="aligncenter" width="482"] Comparing Shipito shippping rates: USPS, Airmail Priority/Economy/Express, Fedex[/caption]

If you need to calculate your shipping rate, you may use the Shipito shipping calculator.

A couple of hoodies in the box will probably weight 3-4 lbs. Delivery of such a package without tracking and insurance will cost $25-40. Delivery with tracking and insurance will cost $50-60.

Bottom line: It is cheaper to buy a couple of hoodies in an offline store in Moscow.

But please note that many people like particular brands that offer more expensive clothing. In many cases this clothing is 30-50% more expensive in Moscow. Not to mention that in many other regions of Russia prices are much higher than in Moscow.

Usually it makes sense to send much heavier packages and/or packages with more expensive content. Otherwise you won't save much.

If you want to order a couple of t-shirts only, or a pair of  jeans, or a couple of hoodies, it makes sense to ask your friends who buy a lot in the same country. Or you may ask your relatives and friends whether they want to buy something in the USA as well. Personally I help my friends and relatives to buy few items regularly.

Good luck and happy savings!

How to save money by using Multi Piece Shipment (MPS) service

If you have more than one package going to the same delivery address, you may save money by using MPS (Multi Piece Shipment) service. You can usually get the best savings for several small packages. In some cases, MPS may be cheaper than consolidating these packages into one box. MPS can also significantly lower shipping costs for larger packages that cannot be consolidated.

If you use Shipito shipping forwarder and have a Shipito Virtual Mailbox, the MPS service is available for you. It is available for DHL, TNT and FedEx shipping methods.

FedEx MPS (Fedex Multiple-Piece Shipment)

FedEx MPS pricing is automatically available on each Shipito account. Just select more than one package for immediate mail out. Select the same FedEx shipping method (Economy or Priority). And make sure that the addressee is exactly the same. MPS discount will be automatically calculated and lower price charged on each package. Additional discount can be up to 30-40%.

MPS discount is not guaranteed. Expect to pay the quote you see on your shipment. If the MPS discounts kicks in the price is automatically lowered. Sometimes MPS discounts will not be as big as discounted rate already provided through Shipito. It seems that more packages you send at the same time the more likely is to get the MPS discount.

New Shipito MPS system: DHL Express and TNT Express Multiple-Piece Shipment

There are some limitations at this moment:

• Only DHL Express and TNT Express shipping is available. To ship FedEx MPS shipment, you have to use the old method (see above).


• The maximum number of packages in MPS shipment is limited to 10 when using DHL Express and limited to 3 when using TNT Express. The limits may be increased in the future.


• MPS is not available to Russia (because of the customs problems with express carriers like DHL, TNT, FedEx)

How to enter new DHL Express or TNT Express MPS Request ?

1. Login to your Shipito account, and go to the "Packages in Warehouse" section.


2. Click the "MPS Request" button. New window with the MPS Request form will show up.
   


3. Select a Shipito Warehouse with packages you want to ship using MPS.


4. Select all packages you want to include in the shipment and click the "Select Packages" button. Some packages may not be available for MPS shipping (for example if they are scheduled for separate mailout or for consolidation). These packages are displayed on the bottom of the page with the explanation why they are not available at this moment.
   
   


5. In the next step, enter your delivery address for the MPS shipment.
   


6. When delivery address is confirmed, system calculates total MPS postage for various shipping methods. After the form is displayed, select the shipping method.
   
   


7. The final step displays a confirmation form with the MPS shipment summary. And it will also show how much would the shipping cost be if all packages were shipped separately using the same shipping method. After the separate shipping cost is loaded, you can confirm the MPS Shipment
   

As you can see, the new MPS system on Shipito that allows to ship via DHL Express and TNT Express is better, because it shows you the exact MPS shipping rate. If it is cheaper than shipping separately, you can confirm the shipment and the price will be locked in and guaranteed.

DiamondShark discount jewerly review: Saved $1,558.00 off MSRP on jewerly since 10/28/2010

I've been a happy customer of DiamondShark (www.DiamondShark.com or www.SharkStores.com/Jewelry). I had one problem with them, but their customer support was so quick and helpful, that can't even express how much I love this discount jewerly shop.

The only problem is that DiamondShark (SharkStores) has never showed MSRP prices on jewerly items, so I didn't really know whether I was getting any discount or not. But today I got a letter from them saying that I have saved $1,558.00 off MSRP since 10/28/2010!!! I didn't know that all jewerly items I bought were sold at a discount of at least 80%:

Note that I was buying jewerly items on DiamondShark (SharkStores) from outside the USA.
