The short verdict
Ship7 covers the US and Turkey well. iShip covers those plus Europe, China and the UAE, adds sea and cargo lanes for heavy goods, and can also sell and export on your behalf.
What you also get with iShip
- Both services, one account
Buy-for-Me and Ship-for-Me together. Most competitors do one or the other — we mix both in the same shipment.
- Six origins, not one
Free addresses in the US, UK, EU, China, UAE and Turkey — plus pickup from almost anywhere else in the world.
- Express, Normal and Economy
You pick the speed per shipment. Courier-only competitors leave you paying express prices for a pair of shoes.
- Sea freight, cargo and container consolidation
Heavy, bulky or commercial volumes move by sea and arrive door to door — a product parcel forwarders simply don't have.
- Export from Lebanon, not just import
Full outbound service with customs paperwork, HS codes and commercial invoices for Lebanese businesses.
- We sell and fulfil for you
List your products on Amazon and eBay through us; we store, pack, ship and handle returns. No forwarder on this list does that.
- Payments and money movement
Pay a foreign store when your card is refused, collect Stripe or PayPal proceeds, settle locally in Beirut.
- Lebanon and Syria
Dedicated services for both markets — iship.me for Lebanon, ish7anli.com for Syria — with local human support on WhatsApp.
