Signup and Usage
As mentioned above already, FishisFast is a free parcel forwarding service. Your address will be in a tax-free zone of Delaware, USA. They give a phone number with the address that you can use for shipping purposes only (many stores ask for it).
Once you have the address, you can start using it to purchase products from all around USA or even abroad. You have 180-days of free storage which is more than enough for you to keep collecting items as they come on sale or are discounted. Once you are ready to mail out, you can begin the consolidation process.
The service for repackaging and consolidation is usually expensive or paid, but not with Fishisfast.
You can ask them to take pictures of items within each box as they arrive, or later whenever you want, its for $2 as packages come in, instead of requesting them later one by one which is for $5.
Customs declaration and adding items to your package is straightforward and the interface is easy to understand. It’s really a no-hassle or hassle-free forwarding service.
Their quick handling is super sonic. Their slow (read normal) handling is quicker than the estimate provided. Return is not free… but then again, they never said it was. Live chat was still good.
Email notifications of incoming packages were descriptive and even showed the package picture on top and since I had requested a picture of each item, the email had tiny thumbnail snapshots of those along with weights. I found this helpful… just saying.
Their power-on testing facility can be improved upon and by that we just mean only the whole presentation. They provide a video recording which you don’t have to be signed-in to see. I call this a big perk!
Once the parcel is ready to ship, you need to choose your available shipment methods and pay for it. Their offer to pay via Cashback services as well as PayPal and Cards. Once you’ve paid, you receive a notification saying your order is getting ready for shipment and you receive the shipping details the same day.
Please note that we need a powerbank tested but could not find any quick method of getting a power on test. We looked around, and decided it best to contact support. And it took them a full working day to get started on it. So just make sure you are aware that power on testing could take a day to get done.
Similarly we faced an issue at the time of paying because we couldn’t see the credit card option. It so happens that for some countries, the option is automatically turned off. So if you don’t see the option and want to still pay via card, you should definitely contact them.
While the return process is fast, they only accept a ship out method. No pick and no drop off. We found shipping charges to be very expensive, but because the parcel that arrived was a fabulous new box. It was all wrapped and packed properly and everything arrived at our doorstep just fine (we used USPS), so naturally we forgot the expensive shipping and and forgave them.
One last con, they don’t do mails, just parcels and packages.
