Best LiveQuote
April 27, 2018

Precise quote of package coat less than 2 minutes! I rarely ship items overseas since they always come with additional package cost but with comGateway they give you the quotation within minutes. My friend recommended this to me too!

I've used the BuyForMe service of comGateway wherein they will buy a watch on behalf of me (since the US merchant doesn't accept an international credit card) and I was amazed thats even possible! I got my Fossil and Casio watches now. Very FAST shipping from US to Philippines. Got my package in 3 days! Im really happy as well that they have a $15 discount for first time shipper. So I saved a lot. Thanks comGateway!

Rip off
March 27, 2018

My first time using this company to order 6 toy guns and some giant lolly to ship to Australia. When all items arrived at my us address, they have option for me to "repack" which I have to pay more but less for shipping so I do it and paid shipping cost of nearly $600. Later on I received email stating that Nerf Guns are not allow to ship to Australia so I have to find somewhere to ship them to. I asked them why Amazon can ship Nerf gun and I bought some Nerf guns when travelling oversea back to Australia no problem. Their answer is it's from the shipping company that they can't ship it. Okay, I then asked my friend for his address thinking of sending all the guns to his and ask him to ship them to me. I sent them my friend address and asking for the refund. They said I have to pay for domestic shipping which more than the guns cost and no refund for partly return items (6 nerf guns) as they successfully shipped them but have no control over the clearance process. But the tracking showing me that all the guns packages were not even go out of the US. And the packages that come to me are coming in 4 boxes of some big and some small which I unpack them and I can repack most of them in the biggest box which they put 2 giant teddy lolly in it with full of bubble wraps. The 2 giant lolly only use not even 1 quarter of the area in the box. It's totally rip me off. DO NOT USE IT

Updated review

This is just to update my earlier review of Comgateway.com from 2014.
They are still terrific and very helpful. Very appreciative of their service

Date of experience: November 21, 2017

I have used ComGateway about 10 times (possibly more) and found them, competitive with pricing for shipping, proactive on all queries, exceptionally reliable. I have encountered many US sites that will not ship outside USA. ComGateway has delivered what they say they will every time. As with everything, not only READ the fine print, but UNDERSTAND the fine print. No issues with credit card or Paypal. Excellent niche market.

Utter Scam
July 20, 2017

Do not, I repeat DO NOT use this company. I used two of their services to ship clothes to Mexico - BuyForMe and later shipping to my home address, and while everything seemed to be going well, once the shipment was out of the US and I had an estimated delivery date, everything went wrong. For whatever reason, the shipment was routed from the US to Singapore and then to Mexico, and was then delayed for TWO MONTHS - I contacted comGateWay customer service several times, and never ever received a satisfactory explanation or solution. Once my shipment was finally released from customs and on its way to me, the DHL Mexico courier handed me a bill for 141 USD (in Mexican pesos) and told me I had to pay handling, customs and custody charges for my clothes in order for them to be delivered, or they would be lost. I contacted comGateway a week ago about this, and they have been utterly unresponsive. WORST service - truly, spare yourselves.

Beware - this company engages Volumetric weight charges, I was charged $400 to send a 9kg guitar (Volumetric charge 38kg), and before some Comgateway Rep. Rattles on about limited aircraft space etc. Lety em say this. As a former major account executive of an international carrier - any major freight forwarder such as Comgateway normally gets "cubic exempt clause" in their rates deal with the major carriers/airlines. If they haven't got this place, I would find this very strange. Look at similar businesses to Comgateway there is some that openly advertise they never charge you based on volume - they are the ones to use. I even got charged volume on shipping record LP's and these are quite dense. Comgateway's actual service is good but due to the volumetric pricing they are not competitive. Look elsewhere, especially for large or bulky items.

Hi Brad,

We regret that your package's shipping weight was higher than expected. Although we would like to clarify that the volumetric weight concept was determined according to an industry-standard cost structure which comGateway's logistics partners have adopted.

At comGateway, we understand that there may be an element of uncertainty in receiving a package of unknown weight and dimensions at your U.S. address. To this end, we have introduced a Live Quote service which you may use to obtain real-time shipping cost estimates for any given item available for purchasing on the internet. Additionally, every Live Quote comes with an optional shipping weight guarantee which you may purchase (for a nominal fee) to cap your maximum shipping charges to the quoted amount.

Thank you and we hope to receive an email from you so we can assist further. You may contact us at customerservice@comgateway.com.

Amazon.com shows my order was delivered to comGateway at Portand on May 3,2017, but it never show up on comGateway's webpage. My multiple emails to comGateway went unanswered. I have used this forwarder many times in the past years, but I don't see how I can be stupid enough to use them when they keep silent like this.

If you ship only 1kg parcel, congradulations! You will be harged by the volume as much as they can. I pay for 5kg.
If you want to return or redo everything, no way! They hold your product in warehouse.
They only way to get out of it is to pay what they ask plus insurance and make sure when next time you try to use a new service or deal with a company you never did, GOOGLE IT! There are so many terrible experience about this compay.

Hi Luna,

We regret that your shipping experience was not aligned with your expectations. Although, we would like to clarify that international shipping takes volumetric weight into consideration due to the limited cargo space in the aircraft. Also, please rest assured that we can assist with returning packages to the online stores.

In order for us to discuss this more in detail, kindly send us an email at customerservice@comgateway.com.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon!

Before Trying Comgateway service, I tried Myus.com and Borderlinx.com service. They both are very good and even Comgateway is also very good. I would like to say to all sitejabber visitors, Sitejabber review are very fake because It's just an open platform, no reviews are verified by Sitejabber. Any unknown who have not used Comgateway, Borderlinx and myus services they can come and still write here anything. If anyone really want to know who is better they can test there service. By my opinion Myus.com service is little fast comparatively to borderlinx and comgateway. But Comgateway and borderlinx are better with there rates when it come for saving money. What ever you people are reading on reveiw website they all.are story written by Competitor. And sitejabber don't verify the review, just sharing to world.
Sitejabber, doing wrong business here.

SHIPPING RIPOFF
December 21, 2016

I am in Australia. I bought a set of golf clubs and a push buggy from an American supplier. Total cost of these was 230 USD. To save money (or so I thought) I then forwarded these packages to Comgateway for shipping to Australia. Now I have used this company in the past and was satisfied with their performance. NOT THIS TIME! Together both packages weighed a total of 11 kg = approx $65 USD. Ah Ah not so fast! Channelling "The Sopranos" the total weight was miraculously recalculated at 28 kg volumetric weight. WTF! Total shipping costs now ballooned to a staggering 278 USD! WAAAAHHHHHH! Luckily I was able to cancel this ripoff transaction & had the packages shipped back to the original merchant. In short this company is a disgrace & should be shutdown. As a postscript I was able to buy the golfset from ebay USA & total shipping cost was 23USD. Thanks for listening folks.

Hi Keith,

We value your opinion and see it as an opportunity to improve. Please note however, that as an aircraft's cargo load is limited, this must take into account the higher of a shipment's actual and volumetric weight in determining the final shipping weight.

Nonetheless, please rest assured that there are numerous ways we can help you reduce the final shipping weight of your packages. We encourage you to contact us at customerservice@comgateway.com, or through our LiveChat, Monday - Friday 7am to 6pm (GMT+8) for real-time assistance.

Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.

Edit: Was contacted by Neil over the phone, and provided with a great resolution as well as credit. We agreed that this would be re-forwarded to a different address, as well as being given a complimentary hold on my account. I consider this matter now resolved, and would like to thank Neil for his time and effort:)

--

I emailed ComGateway asking if a battery case would be able to be sent out. I received a reply stating 'Yes' this item CAN be shipped out, as long as they repack it in a type of packaging.

After the shipment arrived at my address, I received another email stating that it had been re-packaged into the proper shipping box, and was preparing for shipment.

I then received an email stating that my shipment was now CANCELLED due to the battery not being allowed. This is UNACCEPTABLE, as I specifically asked them BEFORE shipment if the battery was allowed. They mentioned that YES, it WAS ALLOWED to be shipped.

Now they are wanting to charge me $4 to return it. This is UNACCEPTABLE, and I request a full refund for the cost of purchasing it.
