Shipped.io Review

#Pros:

No Embedded Costs (All Inclusive Final Delivered Cost)

Free Delivery (At Least in Beirut)

Semi Cash on Delivery ( 50% of the Amount need to be  sent via OMT or Office -Jeideh)

Flexibility of Payment Methods

Direct Access to Amazon Website (As if you are ordering directly from Amazon)

Fairly reasonable add on the original amazon listed price

USA Genuine 100% Quality ( No Chinese ,  No Copies , 100 % Checked).

Direct Access to Amazon Prime Offers (Lower than Regular Amazon listed prices)

Exactly USD / LBP 2000 Rate , which is the official now

You can find items they will never ever make it here

No Risk of using you own mastercard online.

Direct Whatsapp Support

#Cons:

Better For Low Weight  & Low Cost Items (Big items or items exceeding 1000USD not Worth It)

Fees to Arrive Here: 521996 LBP

Total: 2,709,777

Example: RTX 2080Ti 11G on Amazon Prime

Only Restricted to Amazon Store USA (Not Other Stores )  -Newegg , Wallmart ..

No Warranty , No Replacements , No RMA Help.

App needs some optimization

#Conclusion: 

Hustle free recommended for sub 1000 USD items that are not heavy or couple of items > 1000 USD that are not heavy. Some items even on the 2000 USD/LBP rate will reach you less then here.

Like the Braun Epilator Series 7 is listed here @ 287,000 LBP & I ordered the Full Package Series 9 @ 284,000 LBP Delivered to my home.

Re: Shipped.io Review

That doesn't look half bad---it seems to be a good option for people who just want to get a few things online.   Seems cheaper than S&S and can help people circumvent the current capital controls.

I've been ordering products from them for about 6 months now. Really good service and cheap for most of the stuff. The overall price they give includes delivery to my home (Tripoli).

Re: Shipped.io Review

Frankly I will stop dealing with them. They are matching their prices to the black market rate. Ironically,  Amazon and ShopandShip chrage a rate of 1590 and 1515 respectively. Added to to that , the Lebanese customs still charges at 1515.

Quick Example:

I ordered a Suprent beard trimmer. A month ago I paid a total of 85,000 LBP. Now it is 209,000 LBP.

Price Jump: ((209,000 - 89,000)/89,000× 100 % =   +135 %

Re: Shipped.io Review

there was a bug on shipped.io site, when you put an item with addon item in cart, the weight changes to "null" so they just charge you by item price, i put a 43inch tv with a soundbar in cart, back when usd/lbp was 2000LL they charged me 103,000 for tax + shipping. to be fair they say that the price you see is what you pay, so i went to their office, paid in cash they said nothing about this mistake, the order arrived after 3 weeks but the soundbar was missing, i called them and they said they actually realized there was a mistake and didnt want to cancel the order or charge extra, so they decided to ship the tv and refund the soundbar. i told them its fine i got a good deal on the shipping i dont want the refund, they insisted on it. i said ok ill just get a discount on my next order. 3 weeks later they called and guess what? they shipped the sound bar alone and delivered it free of charge. ive never had a good experience with shipping companies before, they made my day.

They need to pay USD for items in amazon.
I suppose they should charge USD or 4000/$ per product but handling and taxes + VAT paid in lebanon should be in LBP

yes but they also bumped up the price (almost double) for the shipping cost/customs fees, not worth using their service anymore

Exactly. You pay shipping and customs at 4k rate with them, which they pay at official 1520 rate, let alone the 4 to 6 weeks delivery time with no tracking.

Re: Shipped.io Review

Amazon has been only delivering necessary items due to the pandemic. I think this is the reason behind late delivery.

I always buy from amazon but most of the time I arrange shipping through somebody coming from USA.

Re: Shipped.io Review

I just received a call from shipped.io regarding the order I placed 3 months ago !!!. In addition to half the order being lost, they want me to pay for the remaining items at the rate of 4000 per $ while I ordered them at the rate of 2300 per $. you should totally avoid using their services.

Re: Shipped.io Review

Avoid them.

I received 2 out 3 of my items after a month of waiting (last week), and I'm still waiting for my final item to arrive.

I have a question though, I'm not sure if they scammed me or not, one time I needed to pay by OMT... I decided to pay via a Lebanese credit card, I've pinged their support and asked her to cancel the order, she said no need and that she'll send me a link to pay. Fast forward a month and a week later, I was looking at the transaction history and I noticed that the "seller" is located in the US, I got billed for 213,000 LL under "Shady Tawul Newark DE US".

How can I confirm whether the bank paid them in USD or LBP? this is a pure scam if the bank gave them USD! I'm going to check today and charge back the amount if what I said turns out to be true.

Re: Shipped.io Review

Nowadays at 4k rate they're asking for deposit before making any order and sometimes the full amount.
