Ado Ponnayo- I am making this account of my first ever experience with a freight forwarder to acquire a fairly valuable piece of electronics- an iPhone SE 64GB from shipito.com.
I decided to buy an iphone from eBay from a seller that does not do international shipping as those are where the best deals can be found. I got this brand new phone from a trusted seller for $392 shipped to Shipito's Hawthorne California warehouse. Once it reaches there I am expecting a further $16-20 for shipping and handling straight to Sri Lanka using the cheapest shipping option which is Airmail.
So altogether with any luck this would come to a max expenditure on my end of $415-420.
Now if I bought this phone locally I would have to pay around $550. So I am getting a pretty good deal and also avoid giving my hard earned cash to the local Muslim phone shops. (Only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.)
Daily progress updates here-
