Shoppers worldwide are anticipating the huge sales put on by U.S. retailers this Friday, 28 November. MyUS.com unveiled a one-time use U.S. address that lets consumers send their purchase to themselves in any of more than 225 countries via MyUS international package forwarding service.
Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) November 26, 2008 -- This Friday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is the year's best day for sales. Getting the perfect gift just got easier for consumers living overseas. These international shoppers are streaming to http://www.MyUS.com/HolidayShopping to get an address in the U.S. to use for just one shipment...be it the perfect Christmas present or a little something for themselves.
The choice of fashion, gadgets and games available from U.S. retailers is staggering. Add to that the convenience of shopping in your slippers and with goodies delivered right to your door. These are daily experiences for American shoppers, but it's quite a challenge to anyone living elsewhere. U.S. shopping websites often can't handle international orders.
"Customers just want what they want. They don't understand why retailers are unable or reluctant to take their orders, especially when they read news stories predicting a slow holiday season for U.S. retailers," said MyUS.com founder and CEO Eric Baird.
Holiday shopping sales will be abundant. Retailers are forecast to see a 12% increase in online sales, while in-store sales continue to sag. The day after Thanksgiving is often referred to as "Black Friday" because retailers move their revenues into the profit column at this time of year. Shoppers can often find online specials listed ahead of time by visiting their favorite website, MyUS.com/HolidayShopping or Black-Friday.net.
These shoppers get the help they need from MyUS.com. For just $5, they get a U.S. address they can use for six months. Shipping is a separate expense, but it's considerably cheaper than rates available from international carrier's websites or drop-off stores. MyUS.com handles the customs paperwork.
MyUS.com can also order goods on behalf of shoppers whose credit cards won't work at U.S. websites. Shoppers sign onto the website and share their wish lists with MyUS Personal Shoppers. The order is placed, verified for accuracy when it arrives at their Florida warehouse, and then it's shipped overseas via express carriers. This personal service costs a fraction of the order itself, and the shopper can make payment via any major international credit card or by wire transfer.
Retailers most popular with the company's international consumers are Amazon.com, Apple, the Gap, Victoria's Secret and Nordstrom. "International shoppers love the selection of goods from U.S. retailers. They're thrilled that it can be so easy to buy," said Baird.
