Anyone used Shipito?

[Padmei]

Found this & thought it was quite good until I saw that you have to fill out a customs declaration form:(

Hi..
the parcel shipping prises are to good to be true...
Check it out before yer front up the $

I import a lot of stuff from the US... those prises are
GOOD .. if they are true..

I use a arms exporter in the US.. but he will ship other
stuff as well...

there is/was another out fit... "ship back to you"
not spelt like that

Customs don't want to know about it unless its more than $400nz with includes shiping prise..
Or a restricted item.. ie.. fire arm

GST-I'm trying to get stuff in without paying GST. When I work out Net prices then add the GST to them the amount is quite a bit.

If you succeed ... beware of/search ... unpaid tax penalties ... and figure them into your equasions ... for later ...

GST or Import taxes ... you will pay either or both ...

GOOD LUCK ...

I believe that you can ask who ever you are buying the goods from to write a lesser amount on the invoice in case Custome etc take an interest.

Don't ask how I know.....

Oh they're all figured in there- they come under the heading in the spreadsheet "money other people far less cleverer than me should have to pay ":lol:

Funny you say that cos I enquired about a price,sales tax & shipping from oncycles in the US for something & in the reply they stated really clearly that they do NOT write gift or change amounts or intentionaly try to mislead customs etc. I hadn't asked them about it - they must get quite a few people wanting to try it on.

[AllanB]

Yes I have. I was recommended them by a friend you used them on a fairly regular basis with small items.

I've had a couple of items sent on to me from them. A helmet was the largest.

Basically they set you up a USA address - many USA stores don't ship international so you have them ship to your USA Shipitto address and they ship on to you. They get a set charge for the handling (US$8.50 I think in my cases) and you get to choose what shipping option you desire to send to NZ.

My experience has been that it has been quick and easy.

Yes you need to fill out a customs declaration prior to them sending the package - this removes the responsibility from them and you are the one responsible for the customs declaration. No big deal - just declare what it is and the price you paid.
You'll only have a issue if you bullshit the price and get caught. Items under NZ$400 (including shipping I think) are of little interest to customs and I've never been charged a customs fee or GST on many sub $400 packages.

Is that $400 nz or from country of origin, does it apply to price paid in foreign dollars or n.z peso's.
I'm thinkin of getting another tank too Padders :yes:

NZ $ at the time of landing in NZ so you need to factor in a possibility of a dollar drop during shipping if the item is close to the $400.

The exchange rate is more important than tax payable ... keep a watch on that ...

The currency changes by a few cents not 15% automatically.

Its $400 NZ.. that includes the shiping prise

Edit...
If you do brake $400nz...
they charge GST on the whole amount not
just the amount over $400nz

[clint640]

I've had good results with comgateway - US$35 for the 1st 1/2 kg, then US$7/0.5kg after that. No other fees, fairly quick delivery via DHL. I've declared stuff properly that has been over $400 & not been charged GST, it's a bit of a lottery.

Cheers

That last sentence was a bit harsh, IMHO, I suggest you read the entire thread and think about it before typing eh.

So, got a logbook? :blink: Paying FBT on the non work related mileage?

:shit: What do you mean Schmidtty is mostly going to spend time on the garage floor in bits?. Come on man - get a grip!

Careful what you write in Forums - it'll bite you in the ass..

Oh dear, I think someone has a bit of sand in their vagina.

No one is doing anything illegal or suspect in any manner. The allmighty Govt has set a $400 limit, feel free to use it. In fact this was recently reviewed and retained at that amount.
I am sure you never order anything over the net - books or movies off amazon etc or you'll have to be inclined to fuck off as well.

Maybe a better tack would have been to inquire what the OP was after and why he was looking off-shore - it is quite possibly not available in NZ (as per the factory workshop manual I have just ordered ex USA as no local Honda dealer has been able to locate one for me). More than likely it was due to costing 4 times more in NZ.

If keeping a 'honest' citizen involves being shafted by paying up to 6 times more for genuine factory parts then I can sleep comfortably with your label. I wonder how those thieving shits at Blue Wing NZ sleep at night.

So, got a logbook?

No, but Nordie carries a saw - bit quicker I reckon :blink:

GST only if $400 or above.
No duty on motorcycle parts.

[Woodman]

They also add a bio security fee or some such thing. About $21 from memory. Thats only if you get caught over the 4 hundy though.

Reofix. Try allbran. Its amazing how staying regular keeps you in a good mood.
