It’s all about the shopping. The easier it gets, the more we spend. Online shopping remains to be my favorite. And what makes it trouble-free is my best US mail forwarder My USA Box.
What I believe stands out of the services of My USA Box compared to other similar outlets, is the user friendly account page. This includes pictures of your items and their description, in which you can select to ship separately or together. Combining also saves you money and the valuable matter is that when you combine, it shows you how much you saved in each shipment!
And that’s not all, when you choose to be a ‘Premium’ member, you get a %60 discount on shipping, and those rates beat all services globally.
Also, everything is re-invoiced by choice to avoid any unnecessary duties by local customs, I know I have been there, it’s a headache.
Their friendly team of live support is always there to answer my questions and there is also a local support office in Saudi Arabia which they can give more details in YOUR OWN LANGUAGE! And they will soon launch an Arabic interface. How great is that!
And haven’t we all faced the email notification of the “unacceptable material” which must be returned to sender or a local third party? When it’s only a couple of perfumes or essential oils? Well you don’t have to worry when you join My USA Box. Liquids, supplements, creams, coffee, tea and chocolates are ok. Though I don’t advise the shipping of chocolate in the summer.
As soon as your items ship, it takes 2 – 4 days for them to arrive to your door and you can choose your carrier between DHL and FedEx as advised best local carriers. Tracking numbers appear a while after shipping beside each package in the shipment tab of the account page.
Another service is “Buy for Me” which they buy for you like when some online shops refuse to charge non- US credit cards or if you simply don’t want to bother buying your self. Simply fill in the order form.
There are many more but I don’t want to bore my readers, so you can simply contact them. I know, for me, I’m remaining a loyal customer for My USA Box, and even more

Great review. One problem I noticed is, just like Aramex, MyUSABox’s holding facilities are located in New York unlike some competitors (DHL EasyShop and Shop Gates’ World Ship in Ohio). And as many online buyers know, Amazon charges tax on purchases in transit to New York. I could really do without the 8% increase on the goods I purchase. I’m sticking to ShopGates, personally.

I’ll get around to it one day.
Do you have to pay tax when you ship items to Florida?

There’s no such thing as 0.0%.

Well shipping rates of MyUSABox “Premium” are cheaper than MyUS rates :p so you’re actually saving more.
And not all items/sellers apply tax when shipping to NY because they ship from same state.
And others apply it even when shipping to NY & other states including FL. Its never fixed. But the rates are

I have used several services in my travels across the world but have found US Global Mail (www.usglobalmail.com), based in Texas to be the best. The are the most customer friendly, reliable and cost effective.

What if you can have even better rates while membership is FREE?!
My favorite service (and I have tried quite a few) for my online shopping sprees in the US is 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.
