My experience with Shipito has been disappointing
My experience with Shipito has been disappointing. In April, I paid approximately R1,300 for shipping through USPS, with the parcel ultimately being handled by the South African Post Office (SAPO). Several months later, I still have not received my package. I contacted SAPO directly and was informed that they currently do not have transport available to move my parcel to KwaZulu-Natal, which has left my shipment stuck with no clear delivery timeline. What makes this even more frustrating is that other forwarding services have provided far better value and reliability. For example, I recently used Shoppre, paid around R600, and my parcel was shipped via FedEx with consistent tracking updates throughout the journey. The item was purchased only two weeks ago and is already out for delivery. I have also found MyUS to offer more affordable and dependable shipping options. Given the well-known challenges associated with USPS to SAPO deliveries, I believe Shipito should offer better guidance and encourage customers to use more reliable courier services where possible. While the initial forwarding process was straightforward, the shipping option I was given has resulted in an extremely poor delivery experience. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Shipito for shipments destined for South Africa.
