MyUS.com, the leader in international package forwarding and shipping, has announced a record-breaking holiday season. With the worldwide economy forcing consumers to find the best prices on gifts and necessities, many are seeking to cash in on a weak U.S. Dollar and rock bottom sales at USA retailers.
MyUS.com reported a 120% increase in shipping weight received year-to-date over 2010, with over 24,000kg of packages arriving in one day making it the largest day in MyUS.com history. With retailers like Amazon, Gap, Nordstrom, Zappos, Victoria’s Secret, EBay, Ralph Lauren and Target topping the list of MyUS’s top stores, savvy international shoppers are seeking to save by purchasing directly from the USA market.
“We had early indicators that MyUS.com would experience a substantial increase in shipping volume over the holidays, but so far, this year has exceeded our expectations tenfold. In November, we witnessed over 200% + in Europe and Asia,” John Wright, Vice President Sales and Marketing of MyUS.com, said.
“This economy has every consumer from Australia to Canada to Japan being very selective on how much an item is worth to them. If a consumer can find what they want at a 1/3 of the price outside their own country, they will find a way to ship it over. We’re proud to say that over 100,000 of those savvy consumers put their trust in our company every day. We don’t take that lightly,” Wright, said.
Popular items filling the shelves of the MyUS.com warehouse range from the ever-popular Apple iPhones and iPads, Kindles, DVD players and BluRay discs to an enormous amount of Dyson space heaters and vacuum cleaners. The video gaming industry continues to make a global impact with games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Uncharted 3 arriving daily at MyUS.com. Some items are more popular in certain countries than others. Fire King Prayer Mugs and Magic Trading Cards are seen to be more in-demand with the Japanese audience. MyUS.com ensures that no matter the item, it is shipped quickly, securely and as cost-effectively as possible from car engines to pallets of Fisher-Price toys.
