Did you try to buy from a site such as Newegg but you find out that they don’t accept your Saudi based credit card and refuse to ship to Aramex mailbox? Even though they used to work before.
I have talked about MyUS before. Now I will explain in detail one of their services “MyUS Personal Shopper“. Which is designed to “overcome several common obstacles encountered when shopping online in the US, and to provide our members with the convenience of a concierge-style shopping experience.”
Visit the site that you want to buy from (in this case Newegg) and have a list ready of the items that you want to buy. The list should include: item’s URL, full name, identification number and the price.
When logged in MyUS’s main page click on Personal Shopper. Choose Online Store if you want to buy from an online retail store. The other choice is Auction Site such as ebay.
Enter the details for the first item that you want to purchase.
After you finished entering the data click Add to Shopping Cart.
Now you can add another item until you are done. Then click Checkout.
Now you can review your items here. Click Checkout to proceed or edit the items that you have added.
Choose the method you want to pay MyUS with. You can use a credit card, PayPal or money order.
Enter the shipping method here. This is an optional process since you might not know the shipping price given by Newegg.
If you are in a hurry then check the rush processing checkbox (additional $5). Add sales tax if you know it, otherwise MyUS will do it themselves. Enter any promotional codes (discounts/gift certificates) that you want to use. Finally, write any additional instructions you want MyUS to perform.
Here you can review your order. Remember that “sales tax” and “US domestic shipping” can be calculated later by MyUS when they perform the order. Also “Personal Shopper Fee” mentioned here is the initial estimate and is not final. Click Place Order to complete the order.
Your order is now completed! You will receive an email from MyUS confirming the order. You can monitor the status of your order on MyUS website and as usual you will receive an email when the order arrives to your MyUS box.
Finally, remember to have a bigger order since you will always charge $10 + more on your purchases. If you liked this guide then please do link to it!

This is a great article, I just want to mention that there is another alternative to myus, this website offer the same service but much better accuracy. Myus lost my package before and I was lucky to find http://www.Myuspostoffice.com they are fast, accurate and their site is very easy to navigate. Take a look for yourself here: http://www.myuspostoffice.com

I’ve been using myus for over a year and I trust them.
The items will take the time needed to make the order + 3-5 days to ship to Saudi Arabia.

Personally I can highly recommend the service of US Unlocked. Their rates are incredibly competitive, the delivery fast and the customer service excellent. I have been using them for quite a while now and it was a great experience every time. They even offer a US billing address. Best of all: membership is free!

Hey guys, I used multiple sites in the past for my women shoes business here in London. I am proud to say that I finally found a service that I enjoy using and is saving a boat load of cash in shipping! Myuspostoffice.com is ideal for consumers and businesses. You wont believe their fast email responses and they are GENUINE USA based corporation not like other fake Chineese sites. Give them a look.

Do you get to pay any additional taxes/fees at your front door?

Hey Woody,
I was about to ask the same question. Are there any additional charges (duty/import taxes…) when shipping to Saudi Arabia?
Thanks.

Greetings fellow online shoppers, I have tried a number of forwarding and shopper services over the past 5 years. It is really difficult to find a reliable service, and I have had both good and bad experiences with some of the above mentioned companies.
I do not use Myus. But I use another company that has what seems like a similar service to this one called Personal Shopper. The company is Bongo International and the website is http://www.bongous.com.
I have had a good experience with them for 2 reasons. The first is that they ship through DHL, so my packages arrive in about 4 days and all deliveries are confirmed. The second, is that they will consolidate all my items from different websites for free. I am already doing my Christmas shopping and having it sent to me in one box which I know is saving me money on shipping.

When my dad lived in Al jubail he always used a company called Shipito. They have far better reviews than Myus or Bongo and definately cheaper than those two. The ne thing that he swears by is how fast, convinient and cheap Shipito is!
