[Danger UXB]

Yep - there it is

Now Available: Shipping via UPS!

just looking at the shipping rates for a package ready to ship

I'm guessing UPS is a no go!!

Well, there goes any reason to keep using MyUS:
ShopMate

EDIT: I spoke too soon, comparisons with other parcel forwarders shows that it's not the cheapest across the board. Maybe only for some of the smaller packages. They do have a 20% off promotion until the end of this month though.

Looks a bit pricey.

LOL yeah, just came back to make an edit about that.

Dollar at 4 years low too...

I signed up with myus back in 2011. They've just tried to charge me the $60 annual fee this year. Luckily my amex had expired
They reckon the deal was only for 2 years, then extended for a 3rd. But they credited the $60 to give me one more year.
I'm going to cancel. I've never used anyway - the postage is still too expensive, and to get the discount I have to wear amex FX costs.

I rejoined a few months ago and had 2 items shipped. But with the AUD it isn't as exciting these days.

...

Happened to me as well - I opened a dialogue with them to close the account - overall it took about ten days to do this- in the mean time they offerred "real weight" pricing (Not volumetric) and a few other sweeteners. During this process they tried to charge the expired Amex another three times.

I finally had the account cancelled early this week.

 

[Pushka]

There's a promo at the moment emphasising real weight not volumetric. Clearly some backlash.

 

[stoneman]

About a year ago I had a battle with them to close my account too, and yes! they tried charging me the $60 quite a few times, I recall :evil:

 

[ftm]

I cancelled a couple of months ago, after only using the service once shortly after signing up. Did it all via email, had no problem cancelling and no spurious charges since! So all relatively easy for me!

So did mine. The problem is, they could expire at any time.

They did cancel my account immediately and without incident though.

Only used them twice: once to buy a pair of binoculars and the other time, Bose NC earphones. With their annual fee now chargeable, their increased shipping rates, and the Aussie dollar plummeting against the US, my interest in buying stuff from the US has also plummeted!...account cancelled about a year ago.

 

[Prof Henry]

I 'joined' MyUS.com in 2012, and never actually used it, although they emailed me frequently to encourage me to do so. As far as I can tell, the last I heard from them was in November 2013 (I think I sent them an UNSUBCRIBE message).

Now, I've notice that my last 2 AMEX Statements have had a $US7 debit to "ACCESS USA Shipping Acct Sarasota" - which turns out to be "MyUS.com."

I am concerned, of course, but also puzzled that they and AMEX have assumed that I authorised this payment? Interestingly, it's billed to an AMEX card I didn't have when I first signed up with MyUS.com.

Looks like I'll have to go through the same process as others to disengage; any hints gratefully received.

 

[Plutonus]

Call Amex, dispute the transactions.

 

[Prof Henry]

Call Amex, dispute the transactions.

I did, indeed. AMEX are being very helpful, and are concerned by the statements from MyUS.com that deal was only for a 2-year free subscription. I've given them the link to this discussion.
cheers

 

[Cynicor]

Lol. Cancelled my MYUS, keep getting pricier for less service, dodgy coughs. Cancel away and use someone else.
