“Eu amei a experiência”

Laurindo A.
1/19/24

It was an honor for me to have your services at my disposal, I really loved them, so responsible and punctual, mine lasted just 15 days. But it's a shame that Global doesn't have the Province of Moxico as a field of action, I had to travel to Huambo to receive the order... Add the province of Moxico as one of the provinces of action. Thank you for the services!

“They're Incompetent”

Brent S.
2/12/24

They're incompetent. Reviews below indicate about a 20% chance you'll be unhappy. Here's what you can expect in the months of hard work it might take to get a solution: - Their warehouse appears to have no particular expertise in identifying items that can't be shipped (a cloth patch is a gun part?), tracking the whereabouts of received items or efficiently dispatching packages. - Their customer service strategy seems based on "hope", rather than robust processes or proactively working for the customer. - You'll be lucky to get an email response. - Chat "help" can go around in circles between unnamed "departments" with no resulting action. - If they make an undertaking to do something, it's unlikely they'll follow through. Consequently you'll need to work hard to chase them … every … single … step … of … the … way, potentially for many months.

I recently had an outstanding experience with you. From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient.
What truly impressed me was the lightning-fast shipping. My order arrived well before the estimated delivery date, and the packaging was secure, ensuring my items arrived in perfect condition. The tracking system kept me informed every step of the way.
A big thank you to the entire team for exceeding my expectations!

Dear Customer,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. After thoroughly reviewing your concern, we have gathered complete details. It appears that the items in question were gun parts, and it's important to note that we do not facilitate the shipping of gun parts internationally as per our policy.

Our standard procedure involves additional time for processing when customers ship gun parts, and we have maintained regular communication with you to provide status updates.

After management's approval for the return, we granted approval for domestic shipping. Once the payment was received, we promptly processed and shipped shipment.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

I have lost a package worth more than 300 dollars, and they offer no help or compensation for losing it, they just shrugged and said: welp, its not with us, sorry and good luck.
And reading other reviews, its not one time incident, they have been losing packages left and right.

So in the end, ordering from them is a gamble, you might or might not get you package lost.

Dear Customer,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. Our customer support team is dedicated to promptly addressing customer concerns and resolving issues efficiently. Upon receiving a package from the shipper, it typically takes us 12 to 16 working hours to conduct a physical check of the package. In cases where the package is not updated in our storage system, we may need to scan the entire warehouse for double checking purposes. Occasionally, we encounter situations where packages are marked as delivered by the shipper but are not physically received by us. In such instances, we can provide evidence to support our claims.

If you find yourself in this situation, we advise you to file a claim against the seller or shipper.

Choosing Global Shopaholics for my international shipping needs was a decision I'll never regret. Shipping a phone and a laptop from the USA to Pakistan could have been a nerve-wracking experience, but with them, it was the opposite. Their customer service is a cut above, providing swift, empathetic support that genuinely makes you feel valued and taken care of. The delivery was on time, which is a testament to their efficiency and commitment to customer satisfaction. It's refreshing to see a company not just meet, but exceed expectations. For anyone in need of a trustworthy and efficient freight forwarding service, Global Shopaholics is the way to go.

I was a loyal customer for more than 3 years, and it all went down hill a year ago with a change in management I believe. First, their customer support became really bad, no answers or replies for days and when they do reply they are mostly useless.

But now they start losing packages, I ordered a google pixel watch 2 from amazon to be shipped to their warehouse, which showed that it arrived and signed off in amazon tracking. Only for it to never showing, and after 3 MONTHS of going back and forth with them, they just blamed it on amazon and TOLD ME TO FIGURE IT OUT WITH THEM. Which of course didn't work cause amazon have a no protection policy against shipment forwarders, and GS stopped replying to me.

So tl;dr If you don't want to risk your 300+ dollars shipment disappearing without a trace or help, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Edit: they just replied to me with the same non helpful generic responses they have been telling me for months, it shows how much they care.

Tip for consumers:
they are cheaper than competition for a reason, its a gamble that you will get your stuff

I have to say this is one of the best

I have to say this is one of the best and cheapest forwarding service available, the only downside I have to say is when choosing Aramex to ship it can take a while in comparison to other package services.

Firstly I would like to thank you for your services.
As for the shipping price, I thought it would be affordable, but it wasn't.
For an iPhone xr, I thought I would pay $45 at most but I paid $65, $24 which is already a lot. As for the time between, the shipping specifications said that the package would be delivered in 12 to 15 days, but I received the package in 16 days. I think the delivery time needs to be adjusted.

The worst forwarding service! Do not use them. They lost packages for me and never refunded me, after paying the shipping fees for the packages, they wait more than 9 days and still not shipped, i contact them everyday and they keep lying. And their customer service is terrible, they reply after 30 mins then if you dont reply within 2 mins the end the conversation.

I've been a customer of GlobalShopaholics for more than 2 years. The quality of their services were more than super. Support by chat or email was very effective. Nothing to complain about. Since they moved to their new storage facility in New Castle things started to decline. I spent long periods of time trying to get someone to respond to my chat regarding an issue that cannot be solved without some direct contact. The problem is that you will be able to see the actual contents of your packages AFTER you consolidate packages for shipping. Recently, I had an issue with one of the packages I'm about to ship. So I wanted to chat with support to let them know. This is a paid service and not free. After waiting sometimes more than an hour on the chat window I get someone that promises me that they will do so by today or tomorrow. This continues for the next week, no response, no reply no service. You pray that you will receive your stuff without anything missing. Support is ZERO. I was more than clear and I left messages with detailed photos hopefully someone would read it and address my issue. Nothing. Eventually, I gave up. I paid for shipping and I'm waiting for them to ship it. It is really unfortunate, I was more than happy with the services they provide. Good thing is there are so many other companies competing in this line of business. I wish someone would read this and rectify things. But. I don't think so..

The service was good and delivered on time. However, my package was reduced by one item due to shipping regulations after my payment was made. There was no reimbursement of the said amount after the reduction in items to be delivered.
