Borderlinx's new rates?

[thatguy]

I shipped about 19.5kg of goods worth over $500 from Borderlinx US yesterday and was charged only $155 total including insurance. Till a few days back, the shipping charge was listed as $286. Not sure if this is a permanent change or they did me a favor for being a regular, but if you have been on the fence about shipping something you might want to check them out.

Thanks thatguy, this is really good news.

I bought something recently but unfortunately it has not reached Borderlinx yet, so I could not use the 15% discount coupon which was expiring on 31st Jan . Hope they release a new coupon soon.

Even I had the 15% discount coupon (THXU11) and rushed to complete everything before the 31st, but with the new shipping rates the discount was a princely $3.60 .

This is an error for sure I believe, since DHL has increased the price starting 2012 and the same kind of error happened few months back in 2011 in borderlinx.

So whoever first can enjoy the glitch....If I am right For 19.5 kgs it should be around 15K thru DHL

In my case it has been observed similar item weight similar, but shipping charges varies almost 4 times. I guess you are lucky it looks like a glitch.

Does Borderlinx not celebrate Valentine's Day ? I received an email from Shop N Ship about their Valentine's day discount

My goods have been sitting in Borderlinx for almost 20 hrs now. I was hoping that they would come up with some discount coupon but finally got impatient and clicked the "Ship" button.

BTW, the site shows same rates for both Express and Normal delivery. I chose Express hyeah:.

I got half my shipment today (4 boxes out of 8). I am hoping they don't hold the rest as ransom

I chose Express

I always choose standard and the shipment arrives on the 4th day (counting both the shipping and the delivery date). I would be very curious to know if they can better that

Me too, always found standard shipment to be good enough. I once opted for express and it actually took longer and tracking showed that they don't do anything different like different flight/shorter route etc. I have written about it in one of the Borderlinx threads.
