Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- International shipping logistics and package forwarding service MyUS.com is being recognized by business publications and professional organizations for their success in a tough domestic economy. MyUS.com puts control of U.S. shopping and international shipping into the hands of a rapidly growing base of consumers and business owners overseas who are interested in buying U.S. goods online.
MyUS.com ranked 1,751 on the 2008 Inc. 5000 with three-year sales growth of 215.5%. The list is the most comprehensive portrait of fast-growing private companies. Companies making the Inc. 5000 list reported median three-year growth of 147 percent. The 2008 Inc. 5000 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.
The Tampa Bay Technology Forum has identified MyUS.com as a finalist in its Fifth Annual Industry Achievement Awards to honor the region's best in business and technology.
"Retailers popular with the company's international consumers include Amazon, Gap, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bluefly, Spiegel, and eBay sellers. International shoppers love the selection of goods from U.S. retailers. They're thrilled that it can be so easy to buy. Businesses use the fast and cost-effective service to get wholesale items from U.S. suppliers to their location," said founder and CEO Eric Baird.
International shipping presents several unique challenges to U.S. retailers: fraud prevention; customer service issues based on time zone differences and language barriers; the difficulty of using domestic distribution centers to facilitate cost-efficient international shipments; and regulatory compliance with no less than five federal agencies. MyUS.com services overcome these challenges by providing thorough fraud screening, compliance and shipping consolidation services, as well as giving control to the consumer.
"Putting the consumer in the driver's seat allows them to choose which merchandise they like, rather than requiring a retailer to undergo the expense of creating a merchandise line specific to each market and each country," said Teresa Foreman, VP of Marketing and Business Development.
MyUS.com provides international package forwarding services to consumers worldwide. Secure and efficient web-based technology operates company systems as well as providing the consumer or business owner 24/7 online access to all aspects of their account. For those making several purchases, package storage and consolidation services provide real savings on international shipping. International customers who do not have credit cards acceptable to U.S. merchants make purchases through a personal shopper service.
