Fine in the end but there are things you need to know – I booked freight for a used engine from the US to Australia. We paid approximately an extra $65 for extra insurance. At no time during the booking process did I notice any mention of any exclusions or explicit requirements for specific freight items. The engine was not collected as originally booked, so I rang up Ship2Anywhere to find out what… Read more · 1
happened. I was first told that as it was a used engine, I was not covered for insurance _at all_, so my $65 was useless and I also didn't get the automatic $500 coverage. They refunded my $65 no problem (but I would never have known had I not rung up). I was also told I'd need extra documentation on the seller's business letterhead regarding the engine cleaning. It was hard to get details of exactly what documentation I needed and what to do if the seller didn't have a business letterhead...
In the end, the pickup was rescheduled, the documentation was accepted and it all went flawlessly. The booking process was like pulling teeth but it worked out great in the end.
My recommendation would be to ring them and discuss what you're wanting to ship/freight to see if there are any gotchas. I rang many times whilst trying to sort things out, and I always got someone on the phone and I did get good answers/information. If you ring them first and make sure you know what you're in for, then I think it's definitely worth it.
Be Prepared For Some Headaches. Not Good Enough To Warrant Taking A Risk With Your Shipment – As a first time user, I called Ship2Anywhere ("S2A") on Thursday 9 December 2015 to ask details about how to send a parcel to the UK. Their website does NOT say that you MUST print about 5 pages of shipping related documents and labels (to give to the pickup driver). It only tells you need to print after you PAY. The explanation of "how to" send a… Read more
parcel on their website is misleading in this regard as it makes NO mention of needing to print. The pickup was on Thursday 10 December 2015, and I had all the documentation ready with the package. The driver picked up on his second run, he did not wait even a minute until I could get to the door quick enough on his first call but it was eventually picked up at 1:30pm. S2A use "DHL Express" and DHL often use a "third party" (in my case "COURIERS PLEASE") in my Victorian country region, which is only 90 km from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport. The predominant carrier used by S2A to ship overseas is "DHL Express". This is where the trouble lies: too many links in a long chain of various carriers spells trouble. Couriers Please is, I believe, owned by the Singapore Post Group. They handed my package to TOLL FREIGHT (why I do not know) in Melbourne at ALTONA, and guess what - it is STILL in Melbourne! I had to make 7 phone calls to DHL (Tracking Number provided) and to S2A since last Thursday 9 December 2015. Today is Monday 14 December 2015. So this the FIFTH day and my package is still sitting in MELBOURNE! DHL assured me when I called them over the past 4 days that my parcel was "due to be delivered in the UK on Monday 14 December 2015.". However when I called them today again, they said it was "lost" but they would "get back to me later today" and when I called S2A to complain, they confirmed my package was "somehow" still SITTING in the Toll depot at Altona in MELBOURNE. They too assured me they would "get back to me." $100 for a 3 kilo package to the UK and all these headaches. My advice: STEER well clear of S2A. They have no credibility in my opinion. Sure, anything can go wrong but their whole business model is built on a service to price ratio. Their service stinks, and price is only marginally better than "International Express Post" at your local Australia Post Office. You make your choice but the reviews mounting up AGAINST S2A tell their own sorry story.
Best way to send a mobile phone overseas – I needed to send our old iPhone to my sister-in-law overseas. After some thorough research online, I came to realise than most companies did not ship phones overseas due to the lithium ion battery, or, if they did, it was for an exorbitant price ($80-$130). I read about Ship2Anywhere on a forum and decided to give it a go. For the phone they… Read more
were going to charge $50 and mail it express through DHL. I was surprised as the DHL website gave me a quote for over $80. However, the gentleman who worked at Ship2Anywhere assured me that this price was correct. As we needed to send this phone regardless, I decided to book the job.
All the documents were e-mailed to me and step-by-step instructions were included in regards to what to do with the documents. I was given some extra forms in order to send the lithium. All pretty painless. I gave the company a time frame to pick the phone up, and they came within that period. The delivery man was also very helpful.
I tracked the package through the DHL website, which really excited me as it was moving so fast. Sure enough, this morning we received a message from my sister-in-law that she received the phone.
It was taken on Monday at 3pm and arrived in the States on Thursday morning 3am our time.
Very impressed with this courier service and I strongly recommend them if you need to mail an iPhone overseas. Ability to ship iPhones, the price, the fact that you can print all the documents from an e-mail, speed A few things were not clear with the documents and the package preparation process

MOST UNTRUSTWORTHY COMPANY EVER – [Name Removed], supposed leader of this bunch of clowns claims that my$1300 parcel that they lost, was only covered under their "lite" shipping plan, which apparently only qualifies for $100 compensation!! I have asked [Name Removed] several times for the shipping documentation but he refuses to produce this! I can only conclude my parcel was shipped under a more generous plan and that he is being a mongrel in not paying out full compensation !!! Show details
Be warned!! – This company entices the sender with what seems like an excellent quote and then automatically withdraws funds for 'surcharges' from your account weeks later, without any notification. My shipment apparently required 're-weighing' and extra 'oversize handling' fees that were not included in the original quote. These surcharges nearly doubled the quote!! I have learnt my lesson and will never use this service again. Show details

Avoid this company at all costs! – I have never come across such poor customer service. 4 phone calls and 4 emails over 10 days and still nobody bothers to get back to me. When you finally do get to speak to someone they say the person you need to speak to is in a meeting and will call you back but they never do. The Package I sent arrived broken with sharp glass everywhere - a… Read more
real health and safety hazard for someone opening it. The delivery guy just left it on the doorstep and ran, and when confronted the driver just drove off saying it was the senders problem.
