After being a long term user of MyUs I am no longer using them. Last shipment my freight was ridiculously expensive.

I use multiple stores in the one shipment so it sounds like this is another issue.

Who are you going to use now then?
 
ShipitTo would be my guess. I have an account with them and will trial them on my next purchase I think.

Read up and research "Shipito" before using also read comments on their web page.
Also to use the Oregon address ( tax Free address) you would have to have premium membership of 50 Usd annually

I've only heard good things about them, and looked into them previously. Apart from the tax but, what have you heard?
 
I signed up with them on the free premium Amex offer. In my view, they have become progressively more expensive, and when they started charging me for their "Premium Service", I cancelled my premium membership.
 
Just a quick note as I just joined due to the Amex promotion. Was excited to order from SEPHORA but then was advised that Sephora was cancelling my order and would not deliver to my unique address as they had numerous customers already with this address! End of story. I have emailed my US twice so far to advise them with no response so far .............
As far as I know there is no way of knowing which companies will supply to My US and which ones won't. Of course you know they will supply from the ones listed on their own website.

Can you buy the products through another retailer rather than directly? I've never had a problem with any retailer that I've used, mostly for outdoor gear that has contractual shipping limitations
 
I'm noticing some online US retailers now explicitly state that they will not deliver to shipping/forwarding addresses. I'm not sure why they would do so, unless they are of course making some sort of profit on the shipping itself.

They may be making profit on shipping, they may have contracts that state that they can only sell certain goods in the US. I know that there have been some problems where a customer orders three products from one store and two products from another store and are therefore expecting five products in their parcel sent to Australia. On opening the parcel there were only three products in the box, one missing from each order. Now was it a mistake from the company that originally sent it out? Was it a mistake on the part of the repacking team? Or was the parcel opened on the way/ through customs/ Aust Post and something "fell" out. At the end of the day the original company who sent the items doesn't know where the products went missing but they may have to end up replacing them.


I don't do jet lag.
 
I believe it's also the companies selling the products imposing restrictions. Why sell it cheap to someone in Australia via freight forwarding when they can charge double the price here...

Absolutely agree. Consider my most recent investigations - Lego using their own online shop. Items that are available in both Australia and the US, the price depends on what region your profile is set to. For example a set that costs say AUD$25, shipping to Australia starts at AUD$40, however if you spend over AUD$150 shipping to Australia is free. Now switch your profile to the US (you also get a wider variety of items to choose from), but the same item, will cost about USD$13, shipping is about USD$20 and free shipping applies on orders over USD$75.

But they specifically state they do not ship to Freight Forwarders. So my recent trip I loaded up, had it delivered to my hotel and saved a packet.
 
Whenever I have contacted Carolina Tillet, who runs PriceUSA, she has been really open and helpful. They have a unique take on the US shopping concept.

I recommend her.
 
Any other AMEX cardholders get a weird email overnight from Bongo, welcoming them and an exclusive discount for cardholders? I don't remember signing up...
 
Yes. And here's the catch. You don't get the Amex discount if you don't use dhl or FedEx. Fedex needs to have a value over $1,000 which opens you up to import duty and GSt which for many items negates the benefit from shopping overseas.

Any good alternatives as myus won't be getting any more of my business

Price USA | Shop where you want looks good, depending on how you shop. I was going to email and ask about consolidation from multiple sellers.
 
Please let us know how you go, saves us all asking the same question!!
