Hello everyone, for the FAQs here and in my DMs about this video: 1. iShop is located on Chipushi Rd in Kabulonga (use google maps) 2. The address to use on amazon or any site you are shopping from is provided by iShop once you call them to register, which you HAVE TO DO as a FIRST TIME CUSTOMER (0954306861 0963308749). 3. The rates are also provided by iShop once you contact them. I don't work for them, I am not a representative, wasn't even paid for this content, but had simply given a review on how I found their services, so kindly bare that in mind. I will no longer be responding to comments and DMs with these questions, so kindly take note of the info here. But thank you for watching, I appreciate it!!
@@levychronix4426 hi, no I don't unfortunately. But I have shipped some items from China directly to zambia using the post office but it took months to get here, so haven't bothered with that in a while
I have been very interested in buying items online and I'm yet to do my first online purchase, so I have been doing some research on how to go about it and all that is involved. This video has really helped me on so many levels. Thank you
ishop is a good shipping company but i was really disappointed, because i thought. i was gonna pay something like 105 or less but to my surprise i payed almost k200 for a usb douge that i weighted on my scale here home of 50grams but ishop sent an email saying it was 0.5kg moreover it was 1.46 dollars on ebay which is kinda of stupid cause i should have got one here in mobile monsters at k150 and could have saved money
It appeats the Gods have dawned their graces upon me, i have scoured the internet for proper concise guides. Why didnt you come up on my feed here, thanks for the video mate
Hi, you have to request for a rate sheet from iShop for the particular hub you are using. I do this periodically as rates change. You then look at the grams or kgs quoted on the notification and check how much they are according to the current rate sheet. A few years ago they started adding the actual charge by the last notification email I believe, so when it's time for you to get the notification that your parcel is ready for collection, there will be the rate charge included somewhere at the bottom of the email.
I am Located in Mansa Zambia and this was very helpful to me I really appreciate for this video. I dream and I do wish that if the people in Zambia would've Broad Mind of making shipments. I think their goods will be safe and secure. and I think new things will be coming to Zambia think
Hi, I've never purchased anything from Spain so wouldn't know. An alternative could be to send the parcel from Spain to a UK hub. Then you can use any of the zambian couriers that receive items in the UK
Yes I use PayPal as well, on websites where that is a payment option. It's much safer than putting your debit or credit card details directly when purchasing an item
Hi, it's been a couple of months since I ordered anything on Amazon or used ishop. On account of our exchange rate 😩 but if it wasn't for that I would still be using ishop 😊👍🏾
Yes you can. It's just more than you would spend if you used their UK address. Plus you can't ship things like liquids, that's exclusive to their UK route.
iShop send an email notification when they receive it and it includes a brief description of the parcel and what the weight it. You can check their current rate sheet that they provide to customers to see what the charge for that weight is. More recently I get an exact figure once the parcel is in Zambia and ready for collection. That final email notification indicates the charge. I think they wait till then because customs at the airport sometimes add on to the charge with taxes for commercial items
Hi, I haven't used Mercury in a very long time. So unable to confirm that. But I have also struggled finding a courier company that ships liquids from the States, so I doubt they do. I either order things directly from the UK, or if I REALLY want those products from the States I have them sent to the iShop UK receiving address. Which is expensive ☹️ The postal service works out too, if the US company ships to Zambia, but you need to prepare for the bp of following up with our postal service because they never arrive on time. It's at least a month, sometimes even 2 ☹️ PLUS the shipping is expensive
@@musondachangwe9337 collecting from the post office themselves is quite cheap 😅 it's the shipping from the States to Zambia using postal services, or DHL/FedEx that crazy. And you could actually always add items to your basket, proceed to checkout and add your Zambian address to see if they ship there, as well as the cost, just so you get your estimate
@@musondachangwe9337 so if you bought something from the United States, and chose your zambian address, it could be a P.O. Box here, the online service will charge you for delivery from there to zambia. So that is the charge that's usually expensive. I've been quoted $40 to even as high as $90 for a package less than 1kg coming from the States. So if you go ahead and use that option, it will then be sent here, and once it's delivered and you go to one of our zamposts they will also have their own service fee. That's the cheaper figure I was referring to, and from the parcels I have collected in the parcel it's never been more than K30.
@@ChitaDiaries ok thanks. And one other thing, those numbers on your pinned comment; Are they still the same number I can use to inquire from Them or they changed
I usually do most of my shopping on Amazon and use one of my cards. For other sites with a PayPal option i use that. But a lot has changed since i made this video back in 2017. There's more couriers available in Lusaka with as good as a time as what ishop is offering now (they don't deliver in 2 or three days like they used to 😢 the last package i bought took 5 working days. Still good i guess, definitely not what it used to be) Though they are still the best to me in terms of getting notifications during the whole shipping and delivery process.
@@taongamtonga650 you can go to paypal.com and sign up. Then if you are based in Zambia you can link a debit card to your account that will be charged each time you make a purchase. Another option you can explore is Zazu. Its an app and the business is based in Zambia, its even safer than paypal because you can get virtual cards that expire after a month
hi can you do a video about customs and vat etc, i am looking to bring in a 40 foot container of brand new clothes into Zambia and i don't know the costs involved
Any banks really though some require you to request to use for online purchases Here th-cam.com/video/HeJtYqKojPU/w-d-xo.html i show how to register on ishop
Hi, I haven't shopped from Alibaba before. But I have used Aliexpress and Shein, and still had the items sent to a hub in the UK first before being shipped to Zambia.
@@ChitaDiaries isn't that process of purchasing from ali-express and then ship to ishop warehouse in UK then to Zambia long and expensive than from Ali-express direct to Zambia?
@@henrykabwele641 most online stores don't ship to Zambia, one, and sometimes when they do the direct delivery charge is upwards of $50 with DHL. Also, the couple of times in the past I used eBay to ship directly to Zambia using the post office it took two months or more. That's my experience. If yours is cheaper and quicker than a courier service middleman, do share
@@ChitaDiaries I get you👍. Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check both sides of the coin now and weigh in on which option is cheaper but super fast.
Hi I'm having trouble with shipping from china to Zambia with ishop because I'm being told the contact number provided for China is not working, is there any other way to contact them in China?
Hi, I don't work for ishop. Just reviewed their service, so they would be the best people to answer that question. Also, when I purchase items from China I send them to the UK hub address
I still do, though the past month or so has been difficult with the pandemic and getting stuff into the country. They keep customers informed though of when items will be dispatched from their various hubs
I prefer purchasing on Amazon more than eBay for that reason. I only get things on eBay that don't cost much where I wouldn't be so mad if the item turned out to be different from what was advertised
Alright I get it. And I think you should make a video on how to do the transactions like step by step I don't know if that can be possible. I think many people wanna buy things online but the procedure is a big deal, I think that would be helpful...
Hi 😊 I still use iShop to this day, though they take longer now. About a week for standard items. Then the rates according to grams have increased too because of the exchange rate. But for everything else, in terms of getting notifications of what a parcel weights, what will be charged, and where the parcel is, they are still the best for me 😊👍🏾
Hi. It's on Chipushi Road in Sunningdale, Kabulonga. I can DM you the directions/map on Instagram or better still you can email their enquiries: enquiries@ishop-worldwide.com
Hi Leumas, if you are coming from Long Acres, go all the way to the Kabulonga roundabout and take your first exit on your left. On that road, count four streets to your left, and that's where the iShop offices are. On Chipushi road
All you really need is a Visa debit card when shopping from Zambia, determining which bank is best can be quite subjective, because people have different experiences with efficiency and customer service. So it's up to you to ask your bank how much they charge for online transactions, then you will decide whether you are ok with it, or check what other banks are charging

@@ChitaDiaries thank you very much for your detailed reply. I will explain why I'm asking. I have e-commerce drop shipping website.
