What is Package Forwarding?
Package forwarding lets you send an online order to your MyUS address, then forward it to your international destination. This allows you to shop at retailers that don’t ship directly to your country.
As an international package forwarding service, MyUS provides US and UK package forwarding so you can shop retailers in both countries, combine eligible packages into one shipment, and choose a shipping option that fits your budget and delivery needs.

What's the Difference Between Package Forwarding and Proxy Shipping?
With package forwarding, you purchase directly from US and UK retailers, complete checkout yourself, and send your orders to your MyUS address for international shipping. With proxy shipping, a third party places the order on your behalf.
If a retailer doesn’t accept your payment method or international billing details, the MyUS Buying Assistant can help you purchase the items you want.

How Does Reshipping Work?

What Can You Buy in the US & UK and Ship Worldwide?
With MyUS, you can shop US and UK retailers for clothing, shoes, cosmetics, electronics, and home goods. Whether a specific item can be shipped depends on the product, your destination, and the selected carrier.
