How do you have real shipping addresses in foreign countries?
New shipping services have emerged of their kind due to the increasing number of shoppers who cannot buy valuable products from abroad because their sellers do not ship them outside their countries, so what are the companies that offer them?
Since the development of e-commerce and the increase in the number of online shoppers, famous shipping companies such as Aramex, MyUS and Plant Express have devised smart and highly practical methods.
Ways to ship products the world did not know before, which is the mediation services between the seller who is unable to ship outside his country and the buyer, by providing real shipping addresses in the United States and some European and Arab countries.
These addresses are placed on the site that the subscriber wishes to shop through, so the site or the seller sends shipments to those addresses, and the cost of sending within the country is often free.
But which of these three companies is better and how do you choose the right company? We talk about some of the advantages and disadvantages of these companies:
Shop and Ship - Aramex
The Shop And Ship service is one of the most famous companies in the Arab world due to the provision of the Shop And Ship service that gives you your addresses in several countries such as America, England, China, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, India, South Africa, and Germany.
Where the seller ships your goods to your address in those countries and then receives them Aramex and ship them to your original address directly in your country and then you pay the amount required to receive your shipment.
One of the advantages of this company is that the price is calculated according to weight only, and this makes it less expensive than other companies that provide the same service because other companies calculate the cost based on weight or dimensions and take the highest.
Also among its advantages is the speed of delivery and the completion of customs procedures on your behalf even if this commodity requires an offer to a party such as works or the Ministry of Communications.
As for the government mail and many other shipping companies do not do so, these companies ask you to go to the Customs Authority to finalize the necessary procedures for the supply authorities on your own.
However, complaints were repeated by the company about the error in the weight of the commodity, which means an extra cost, so we recommend going to the branch and the weight of the shipment before receiving it, but with all of that, the Shop and Ship service remains one of the best services compared to its counterparts.
Subscribing to a Shop and Ship service costs you about $ 45 only. The cost of opening an account is paid once in a lifetime, and there are offers that amount to half of the account opening value.
The service can be registered online, and this is explained in detail in the article “How to open a Shop and Ship account online.”
MyUS Company - FedEx / DHL
MyUs is one of the companies that offer the same service that Shop and Ship provides, with the difference that it ships papers and documents only if you subscribe to a Premium account.
The cost of opening a standard Standard account is ten dollars, paid once, and Premium twenty-five dollars, also paid once.
Then there are monthly expenses on accounts except Standard does not have monthly expenses and each account has its advantages that can be found upon registration, this company gives you a shipping address within the United States only.
And this company is shipping via DHL and FedEx and it gives you the price of shipping through the two companies and you are free to choose, but the prices compared to other similar services are sometimes better especially when making a paid account.
But if you do not shop a lot online, we advise against dealing in it, and to calculate the shipping cost by entering weight and dimensions, you can click here.
Planet Express Company
Planet Express is one of the companies that operate as a shipping broker. This company creates real addresses for you in America only, unlike the Shop & Ship service that gives you addresses in multiple countries as mentioned.
One of the advantages of this company is that registering for it is for only $ 5, and it has the ability to collect shipments and repackage them so that it saves you some of the shipping costs, and takes a picture of your shipment for free.
One of its advantages is that it stores your goods for a month for free even if you wait for other shipments, you have an opportunity to collect them and then send them to you and the Shop and Ship service does not provide a service to collect shipments, so the product that arrives at your address is shipped directly and separately.
As for the disadvantages of this company and other companies such as 'My US', it calculates the price based on weight and dimensions and then takes the highest cost.
So we advise you not to use it when purchasing a commodity of large dimensions and choosing Shop & Ship instead of MyUS or Plant Express.
Also, one of the advantages of this company is that you can calculate the shipping cost by entering the weight and dimensions of the shipment and some other details even if you do not have a product awaiting shipment.
Payment is via Paypal account or MasterCard / Visa cards and payment must be made before shipping.
Finally this is all, and if you have opinions or concerns about those companies that provide shipping addresses outside your country, please list them in the comments box.
