Absolutely fuss free service.
I had to ship a hard to come by part from Slovakia to the UK and it went very smoothly by booking on the Parcelhero website. I liked the layout and simplicity of the customs form, having done it a few times before this was by far the smoothest it's gone.

So far so good, no problems
So far so good. Parcel arrived as expected, and they let you know when it has arrived, unlike Interparcel who do not communicate arrivals. It will be interesting to see how they perform if there is a problem.

US Customs

The de minimis value threshold for most goods entering the USA is $800, so goods under this value are likely to enter the United States duty free. This applies whether you are exporting a commercial shipment for re-sale or sending personal effects or gifts. However, unless you’re sending a document, a customs invoice is still required.
