Goods in American e-shops are often less expensive than in our country and are also available in a broader range than we are accustomed to. A slight complication arises when some stores do not ship outside the USA. Shipito offers a solution. With it, you can create a USA mailing address, and anything that arrives at that address will be forwarded to your home anywhere in the world.

   How the Shipito Forwarding Service Works

   Shipito will create a USA mailing address that is unique to you. It uses an address line that is commonly used to indicate, for example, an apartment number. This is nationally recognized by both the post office and online stores.

   Thanks to this code in the address, Shipito employees will know to whom the parcel belongs.

   You can order goods to the address created under the same terms as anywhere else in America. If the store offers free shipping within the USA, you are eligible. Even if the store does not ship internationally, you can still shop there.

   Packages delivered to your address are collected at Shipito’s warehouses. When you opt in, the packages will be consolidated into one larger package and shipped to an address in any country in the world. Shipito sends a vast number of packages every day, so it has negotiated significant volume discounts on postage for customers.

2. How to Create a Shipito Account

   Simply create an account at Shipito.com by entering your first name, last name, country, and email address.

   You can choose one of three account types, with the basic one being free. Immediately after verifying your email address, you get a USA address and can start shopping. A line beginning with “Suite” is used to uniquely identify you. Whenever you list your address in the store, don’t forget it.

4. Assisted Purchase from USA

   Shipito also offers assisted shopping from the USA. Through the interface available to registered members, you simply enter what you want to buy. Fill in the description of the item you want, the product number, the price, or send a direct link, and Shipito staff will check availability and make the purchase.

   You pay for your purchase through your Shipito account and the goods arrive at your virtual address. The warehouse staff will check if the goods have arrived safely and if so, you will be able to forward them to your home. They will contact you if there are any problems.

   Assisted shopping in the USA is a paid service.

5. How Much Does It Cost to Send a Package from the USA

   There are a number of parameters that affect the cost of forwarding a consolidated package from the USA to your country. It depends on the warehouse location, destination, weight, dimensions, and value of the shipment. In most cases, you can choose between a more expensive and faster shipping rate or a cheaper and slower option.

   To get a better idea, try entering approximate figures into the Shipito calculator. Dimensions, weight, and other parameters also affect storage or package consolidation fees.
