Easy to use service and very responsive team from start to finish. The package arrived 2 days earlier than expected and the cost was around 30% lower than what I was used to paying for the same service.
I am an American girl who has been living in Europe for 2 years. I have tried many sites, but as quality/price this one is always very good. I can always count on Convenient Shipping to get the gifts to my family in America.
I placed the order and after an hour the courier was already at my door to collect the parcel. Delivery time amply respected. I will definitely use the service again.
Positive experience: I got comprehensive answers in a short time. The communication reached both me as the sender and the recipient. Collection and delivery took place as indicated, good price. Congratulations.
