| Online shopping opens the door to fashions, gadgets, home decor and accessories from around the globe and more and more South Africans are opting for this as a way to access items that are not available here. The problem is that often US sites do not ship to South Africa, once again blocking the door to those must-have originals. MyUS.com provides each registered user with her own custom physical mailing address in the United States, meaning that users can have items delivered to them as though they were residents of America. Once the items arrive at the MyUs address, we consolidate them into one shipment – meaning if you have ordered from three different online stores you can consolidate and save on shipping costs – and then courier the items to the user’s door in South Africa. Adding your MyUS address as a secondary address to your credit card means that many sites that do not accept non-US credit cards can be accessed. An initial set-up fee of $35 (approximately R280) is charged and annual membership costs $132 (R1082) or approximately R120 per month ($15). Shipping rates start from as low as $28 (R224) for 0.2kg to approximately R770 ($96.37) for items of 4.6kgs. Membership can also be $60 annually if you do not need anything but packages. This means no letters, magazines or catalogues. MyUS also offers a Standard option. It requires only a $5 (R40) initial set-up and has no ongoing membership fee. This Standard option does not offer storage or consolidation, but it’s perfect for a one-time shipment or the occasional shopper. The shipping rates are on par or lower than most international shipping fees, plus package consolidation cuts down on individual shipping rates which can add up. The savings can be significant when one considers that shipping and handling fees for one book from Amazon.com are over $50 (approximately R410). |
