UK Package Forwarding - More About MyUS

Did you know, with MyUS, you can get your packages from UK retailers forwarded from our UK warehouse to wherever you are in the world? When you use your MyUS UK address, it’s easy to shop at British stores even when they don’t ship to your country! Read on to learn more about how it works and what the differences are between our UK and US services.

What is Package Forwarding?

Let’s say you’re browsing online for some new clothes, and you find a shirt at Marks and Spencer that you absolutely must have. But to your disappointment, when you go to check out you realize that they don’t ship to your country. That’s where we come in! With a MyUS account, you’ll get your own personal UK address that you can use when checking out at UK based retailers. Then, instead of being shipped directly to you, your items will be sent to our secure UK warehouse where we will prepare your package and send it to your international address.

Why Use MyUS for Package Forwarding?

You’ll get plenty of benefits when you use MyUS to get packages forwarded from the UK. Not only will you get access to all the best retailers the UK has to offer, but you can also save money. We offer affordable international shipping rates thanks to our partnerships with trusted carries, and with a Premium or Business Membership you can choose to have your packages consolidated so you’re not paying shipping costs for each individual package. Consolidating your packages also means you won’t have to wait in anticipation for several packages to arrive at your door or juggle multiple different tracking numbers and links.

MyUS- US vs. UK

With a MyUS membership, you automatically get a free US and a UK address, but there are some differences that come with each address.

Packages being shipped from our UK warehouse are not eligible for TruePrice pricing, so your shipping rates will be calculated based on dimensional weight that is calculated based on the size and the weight of the package using the following formula.

Dimensional Weight (chargeable pounds) = Length x Width x Height (inches) / 139

Be sure to keep this in mind when shopping for larger items, especially those that aren’t heavy. Just because they are light does not mean that the shipping price will be low. With dimensional weight, you are charged for the space that your package takes up during the delivery process.

Another big difference between our US and UK services is that we cannot ship any types of dangerous goods from our UK facilities. This can include common items that you may not realize are classified as dangerous, such as cosmetics and electronics with lithium-ion batteries, so make sure to check our Prohibited and Restricted Goods page for more information and avoid purchasing anything that falls under the prohibited or restricted categories.
