Citi signature [eshopex]

[Isochronous]

I got the fee free for life offer and I remember that it was supposed to come with one of those US shipping address services for free for online shopping from US websites.

Does anyone know what its called? I can't seem to find it on the new online Citi portal, and I vaguely recall registering for it before.

yeah its called 'eshopex'

has anybody used it in the past?? it seems kind of expensive...

I wouldn't bother. Shipito is a fraction of the cost.

Except cardholders get it for free, so cost is irrelevant.

Or are you saying the shipping fee shipitto charges notwithstanding free registration is much cheaper?

cardholders can sign up for free yes... but the shipping costs seem quite expensive...

Re: Citi signature - eshopex

I compared eShopex | Shop in the USA to USA Address & Mail Forwarding – Shipito.com | English

A 1kg parcel (a book) sent by eShopex is US$46.75 (no delivery time given).
The same book with Shipito via TNT Express was US$27 and was delivered in two days.

A nearly 2kg parcel valued at $100 sent by eShopex is US$146 (again no delivery time given)
The same parcel weigh Shipito via TNT Express was $US63

There's no comparison .. just use Shipito (and there may be cheaper .. I don't know, it's good enough for me).
Saying that, I don't tend to use Shipito's TNT/Fedex offerings. Their "Priority airmail" delivers in 4-6 days generally, for a fraction of the price (even though they advertise it as 10-20 days).

Re: Citi signature - eshopex

I'm not sure that it offers what you are after but I have used Price USA | Shop where you want successfully a few times in the past and have found their customer service to be very good. They avoid US sales tax by shipping out of Oregon. You might want to try their shipping calculator Price USA Shipping Cost Calculator.
