Broken app

Does not work cant create account

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. We'd like to get you unblocked, account creation failures could have a few different causes, and knowing where it stops for you (whether it's an error message, a screen that won't advance, or a verification email that never arrives) would let us pinpoint it. Contact us at support@zonos.com and we'll help get you shipping.

Terrible

First off they collect your data and store it in the states, not cool. Secondly this is the only option available for shipping to the USA, the Ai is unreliable and doesn’t even know what half the items are in the photo even with the labels very clearly seen. When I got out of the app to confirm photo access my order got deleted 3/4 of the way through causing me to re start all over. It’s not worth sending anything to the states anymore. Bring back in person declarations.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. The AI item identification is a starting point, not the final word, you can edit any auto-filled field before continuing, and manual entry is available on the same screen as the photo option if you'd rather skip photos entirely. We're looking into the ability to save progress so an interruption doesn't mean starting over, and we appreciate you flagging it. On data handling, our privacy policy at zonos.com describes what we collect and how it's stored, and shipment data is required by US customs for import processing.

Folks just mad, app very usable

I was frustrated when I learned I had to go through an app rather than just deal with the person behind my local post counter, but was pleasantly surprised by how easy and seamless the app ID to use. Good UI, helpful format, easy to use. Took only a minute to complete a shipment to my sister in the USA.

Thank you for the feedback, and we're glad the app won you over. Going from a counter interaction to an app is definitely a change, so hearing the flow felt easy and quick is exactly what we're aiming for. We're here at support@zonos.com if you ever need anything. We appreciate your kind words!!

Disappointed.

I have a small business trying to survive in this economy. I’m unable to return defective products back to the manufacturer in the United States due to the awful amount of duties that I will be charged AGAIN just to return these items. I’m eating the costs at this point. It’s absolutely ridiculous. It used to be so simple and take 5 minutes at Canada post, but now you have to go out of your way to download an app, try and navigate the stupid thing which doesn’t even work half the time, and then pay 10x more than what you used too. If I could give a negative star rating I would.

What a scam

I can’t believe Americans are forced to use this app to mail things they already own. $2.50 for what? The privilege of using the USPS? Someone is making a lot of money openly scamming the American people.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Some US territories, like Guam and the US Virgin Islands, sit outside the US customs territory, so shipments from those territories to the mainland are treated as imports under US customs regulations, even though no international border is crossed in the everyday sense. That's why the app applies here. Our processing fee covers guaranteeing and remitting duties to US customs upfront. The requirement of prepaid duties on postal shipments itself comes from US customs rules (as of August 2025), not from Zonos or USPS.
