I've been using borderlinx for years, borderlinx and nothing else until I read this thread and regret big time. It's the first time I use CGW and will be the last.
Bought 2 items, 1 from amazon, 1 from retailer. my experience as below:
- borderlinx in eastern US, which is very near to my items. usual 2 days delivery using free ground shipping.
- CGW in west, which is 2000++ miles away from items and borderlinx. 5 business days to reach.
- once item received, borderlinx update and send email to me on the day itself, at most 1 business day later.
- both items to CGW took 1 day to email me.
- once I click ship, borderlinx ship out on the same day or latest 1 working day after.
- CGW took 3 working days to ship out.
so in total, CGW can take additional 5-6 working days compared to borderlinx.
price is slightly cheaper with CGW but as mentioned, they round up to nearest 0.5kg, so difference is minimal. certainly not worth the additional 5-6 working days. If you use CGW express service, you actually pay more but get the items later than with borderlinx.
