MyUS provides access to US stores for international customers through its personal shipping service, including some that do not ship internationally or accept non-US payment cards. The partnership enables Visa cardholders to access deals and to pay with their preferred card. It also comes in time for shoppers to take advantage of big discounts in the annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales which mark the start of the holiday shopping season.
MyUS is a multi-award winning service and has been rated the top package-forwarding service by consumers and businesses around the world since 1997. Visa cardholders can now enjoy privileges including the waiving of membership fees for two years, a saving of 25 per cent in the first month, 20 per cent on future shipments and $100 free insurance.
“Online shopping has opened up the global marketplace, the ability to buy from top US brands and have the goods delivered in over 200 countries is a very attractive proposition to consumers. In fact, our research shows that 25 per cent of people are considering using an online shopping service to help them purchase from overseas stores in the next twelve months,”[1] said Paul Jung, Visa’s Head of eCommerce Solutions for Asia Pacific, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Our partnership with MyUS allows Visa cardholders to complete payment with their preferred card as well as take advantage of offers that will increase their savings even more.”
Consumers also have the ability to shop through the site’s personal shopper service which can help them complete purchases from auction sites or place personalized orders. This is in addition to being able to source discounts through coupon-finder and price comparison services.
“As the holiday season approaches, we’re pleased to be able to offer our customers the ability to pay with their Visa card as they enjoy savings on their favorite US brands,” said Michael Chalhub, Chief Financial Officer at MyUS.com. “It is imperative that shopping online is easy and secure and as a trusted payments provider, Visa is the ideal partner to provide reliable payment solutions which also help our customers stay safe. We want them to have peace of mind from the point of purchase right until it reaches their doorstep.”
