Does anyone know if Shipito can be used to get Best Buy exclusives shipped to the UK?
I'm days away from doing a consolidated Stackry order, I'm just waiting for one more thing to arrive.
I'll let you know how I get on.
I’ve always had issues with bestbuy and getting them to send to reshipping address. Using a vpn and an American address they still cancel my order saying they don’t send to reshipping addresses. They must have these address flagged on their system as a no noSo in terms of Stackry I simply order from Best Buy, have it shipped to my Stackry state tax free address and they ship it to my UK address?
no its still ok,as your sending items to yourself theres no vat to pay just received a box from shipito valued at £13 no vat to pay on top. as items you brought are shipped to reshippers within the same country then theres no increase in prices or vat to add by sellers. this includes ebay aswell as wowhd and amazon usaWhat is everyone going to do about Stackry once we leave the EU as I believe the allowance before paying import charges is changing to £0? Does that mean we're goosed?

no because vat is now paid at point of purchase not on entry to the uk. if you buy something in the usa and have it shipped within the usa no vat. send it to youself from the usa to uk no vat to pay.That is encouraging but doesn't really make sense to me at all. Granted, vat won't be added by the retailer but surely on arrival in the UK it would be subject to VAT?
Can't say I've had a problem with the guy and what I have received has been well packaged, but I've only made two orders and this one is now in transit via Stackry, so fingers crossed everything is fine.Found bluraysforeveryone to be terrible.
If anything goes wrong they're rude and dismissive and do nothing to resolve problems.
nothing to pay as explained before your sending items to yourself.the £15 customs limit has been removed you now pay 20% vat on all imports from retailers (retailers have to charge the 20% at point of sale). sending to yourself from usa incurs no extra charges. just had a parcel sent via shipito no extra charges imposedCan't say I've had a problem with the guy and what I have received has been well packaged, but I've only made two orders and this one is now in transit via Stackry, so fingers crossed everything is fine.
With Stackry, consolidation resulted in a billable weight reduction of 2 lbs (overall shipping weight 3 lbs).
I opted for Global Mail Direct which takes up to two weeks at $17.42 + $4.00 for full coverage insurance for the total declared value.
Their shipping consolidation fee was $8.00 so roughly $30 shipping altogether. While that alone is cheap enough and reasonable - I think anyway - I'm not sure what custom will bring to the table yet.

He didnt apologize or offer to do anything to resolve either these issues when i emailed him.
There were also several posts on the blu-ray.com thread about the business, complaining about rude customer service and refusal to deal with problems. Blu-ray's for everyone .com - Blu-ray Forum
Best avoided in my opinion so buyer beware

This arrived a lot sooner than expected, no additional charges either. Everything was very well packaged in the right size box with plenty of bubble wrap to protect and secure, not a single scruff or anything, even on the books, which are a special gift from a friend in the US so I was worried about the corners.
Considering I got e.g John Wick 3 4K for $7, Dredd 4K which is unavailable here and postage for the lot was only $30 (including larger than A4 paperback books) I would say now that customs charges are dropped its well worth giving a go on a bulk buy of things that are either silly cheap or unavailable here. I think they hold goods for shipment for up to around 40 days so you can consolidate across a number of merchants very easily.
What did you quote as the value of your goods (new or second hand values)?This arrived a lot sooner than expected, no additional charges either.
