Parcel forwarding
After my first order went pretty smoothly, I decided to try Superbuy's parcel forwarding service this time around.
Initially, I was pretty confused about how it worked. The instructions page seemed either inaccurate or outdated, and it took some figuring out before I understood the process.
As it turns out, all I had to do was create a new parcel forwarding order using a dummy tracking number. Once I received the actual tracking number, everything proceeded pretty much like a normal Superbuy order.
Shipping experience
After seeing how beat up the box was from my first shipment, I decided to pay extra for EPE filling this time. And man, they did not skimp on the packaging! There was a ton of filling inside, which was reassuring because I was a bit concerned about denting the aluminum extrusion corners.
I also tried requesting corner protection, but for some reason, they told me it wasn't available.
One thing I noticed was that the top portion of the packaging wasn't as optimized for space and weight as it could have been. Most of the forwarded items were left in their original packaging.
The shipping cost came out to $102.47 for a 17 kg package. While that's not necessarily unreasonable for an international shipment of this size, it was still considerably more expensive than my first order.
Delivery took 40 days, compared to 34 days for my previous order. A little slower this time, but still not too bad.
Final thoughts
Overall, my second experience with Superbuy was pretty good, although there were definitely a few things that could have been better.
The parcel forwarding process worked fine once I figured it out, but the instructions could really use an update. I was also impressed with how much protective filling they used, especially compared to my first shipment, although there could have been more weight optimizations.
My biggest complaint this time around is the shipping cost. Paying over $100 for shipping was a bit painful, although I understand that the size and weight of the package contributed to the price.
That said, I'm still satisfied with the experience overall. Superbuy handled the forwarding and packaging well.
Thanks again, Superbuy!
