They wouldn't send me the package because the return to sender address on the original was cut off by a digit. Was advised if the package was under review for more than 2 business days, they would send an email. Didn't receive an email, and it took me messaging them after two weeks to get anywhere.

they package my stuff in oversized box where you could still fit another human and let me pay 500usd for it, when according to their shipping calculator the shipping cost should be around 100, I was charged for air and stuffing Show details
Fraudulent charge. I closed my myUS account a long time ago. Last night in the middle of the night I received a notification that a package had been delivered for me, and I needed to re-open my account to see what it was. I chose the FREE option. They required a $1 credit card confirmation charge, which I paid. Then I saw the package WAS NOT FOR… Read more
ME. And thought nothing more of it. When I woke up the next morning, they had charged me a further $20. I would like to confirm that I did not authorise any payments, request any services or even ship any packages. How and why they could charge me anything, is beyond me. In any case, I have disputed this as a fraudulent transaction with my bank.

So I made a few purchases, from feb to april at almost $1000aud No issues UNTIL my recent order arrived. With a big box cutter blade slice down the front. I went through the packing pictures they provided and noticed some editing had been done. They damaged my cup and then edited the pic to cover themselves. I’ve made contact only to be told… Read more
it wasn’t them it must have been customs… they forgot that they are the ones that opened the package and DIDNT RE TAPE it. So even if customs did open my package they didn’t open that box because IT WAS ALREADY OPENED. Proof is no double taped box, no damage to the box from them removing tape and putting new tape on. Oh and the picture they provided shows the y in Stanley cropped and the green line is pixelated differently. I’m beyond enraged and disheartened how can a company lie like that. Upon further investigation there are multiple reviews of people having the same issue of their packages being sliced open by myus to check the product and damaging the produce and then claiming “ you did not purchase enhanced liability”… that should cover shipping damages not staff negligence and then a cover up. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY You can see the slice meets up with the box and cup

Don't Waste Your Money & Time - Find alternative is My Advice! – MyUS.COM does not desserve your business. They do not realize that Customers Pay Their Salaries. I've been a customer with a "Premium Status" since 2019 with 100's of packages forwarded to "KUwait". Being a corporate customer to both DHL and FedEx and I know what corporate rates are, MyUS.COM international shipping prices is a rip off. I have… Read more
forgiven them for this all these years, until a MAJOR mishap when they improperly packaged a shipment that resulted in Severe Damage -- the fact that forced me to rebuy and reship the same item again on my own expense. The item costs US$50 paid twice. Shipping around US$100 each, paid Twice. All I got from MyUS is that they apolgize! How good is that to a premium 5-year customer paying memberships and high-cost shipping. I decided to clsoe my account with MyUS and take my buisiness elsewhere. They do not deserve your penny. My recommendation to you, do not use them. They'll let you down when you need them. They will always find ways to find you negligant, i.e. Not buying insurance, and crap like this, escaping from their responsibility as a shipping company to do proper packaging. Read other reviews to be sure of what I say. Terrible customer service. Terrible customer valuation process.

This is gloriously smelly t#rd covered in cheap glitter They promise a lot (but websites and nonsense words are cheap but people aren’t). It took two reminders to myUS to actually accept that the delivery was received in their warehouse. They then used Aramax to deliver but Aramax of Dubai have zero service (they also have a great website and… Read more
nonsense words but no one doing anything and zero response quality) and they lost the package in transit to a third logistics provider QExpress who employed a fourth supplier to deliver. The last person lied saying a delivery was attempted except I was home when they tried to deliver and in the end after wasting four days and several hours on WhatsApp email and phone calls the package was dumped at my door.

The uneducated HillBillies of myUS.com are just thieves and criminals. They tell you that there is something else in your package and they want to see the receipt. They don't accept the original invoice, the Paypal receipt or the original eBay… Read more
order. They don't accept anything and then they take away the package to sell it for a higher profit. In Trump's Amerika they can do it.
Follow-up · It was an eBay item, a highly collectable D-Day Zippo. No, they did not offer a reason they just stole it and sold it for sure. Zippo D-Day and all the authentic and rare paperwork

Ordered a vinyl record from a US store that didn't ship to Australia. Signed up for a myUS single parcel account, got given a US postal address, had the record shipped there. The parcel arrived at the myUS postal address and in less than 24 hours I received a shipping notification that my parcel had been shipped to me. 5 days later my parcel… Read more
arrived at my PO Box in rural Queensland in perfect condition. Postage was expensive, but that's to be expected trying to ship from the US to Australia, plus I selected DHL as the carrier and they're not cheap. I'm very happy with the service provided by myUS
Glitchy but Good – Whilst this service is a little unwieldy from time to time once you understand the process it’s really good to use. Firstly, make sure you understand that every time you use it you will need to make some decisions do I discard shoe boxes with each parcel if you pick this choice and there’s no boxes, you will still be charged, I know, crazy!! Don’t… Read more
choose Australia Post as you will not be able to track it until it reaches Australia and all you will see in the meantime is “Label Created” which can be three weeks from despatch understand that is the case even if you have the Australia Post App. Make sure that the total value of the parcel is under $1000.00 AUD or you will be charged clearance fees, GST and Import Duties, under $1000.00 only GST is levied.
first class service – i must admit i cannot fathom all the negative reviews of this company. i have dealt with them for many years and have received approx. 2 dozen packages over that time and i can say that i have never had a single problem with them-the charges are reasonable and the packages are well packed and dispatched immediately with accurate tracking. i can recommend them highly and will continue to use their services.

Have used MyUS for 15 years and found them to be quite efficient and economical for the first few years. Small cheap items seem to be handled well but once you get larger items, particularly not domestic product (personal items , clothes, small tech.) then the service becomes problematic. As the years went on, the problems associated with… Read more
processing of my inward goods became tedious. Having to intervene because of a multiple carton order arriving at MyUS had one carton sent through to my virtual inbox while another was denied because the price paid was outside their predetermined value, despite being identical items. With this and miscategorisation of the item, asking for vendor invoices when they were supplied and delay associated with these processing failures, the time spent in having to respond gets draining. During Covid, the wheels fell off but, this was everywhere and not a MyUS failing. However there was a notable increase in freight cost after this, a notable decrease in the quality of service i.e. slower processing and more mistakes made in handling my items. The frustration that has motivated me to write this is because the many times I forwarded my complaints, the responses though polite, were meaningless platitudes of promises for future improvement. This never happened. I now only use them for small simple shipments and have found cheaper ways that involve less intervention on my part for other items that I buy. I would suggest that you don't even bother with reviews on the MyUS site as they appear to be carefully curated.

If you thought eBay was expensive, shipping via MyUs was more than double the price. Best to avoid MyUS unless you want your CC to melt. When the shipping costs hit US $260, which was only US $135 incl. GST with eBay, I seriously considered telling them to bin my package. I won't be using MyUS again. Perhaps all these freight forwarding companies are a rip off. Show details
found this company via Google and used them to ship from USA to Australia. I bought the items and had it shipped to Myus Florida office. After a few days I checked into Myus a bit more and read some reviews and started to get worried for our package.. After a few days the package was in Myus inbox and they turned around and sent the package within… Read more
2 days during Christmas times, which I found to be fine. Maybe I was a lucky one compared to other reviews but my ordered with Myus went smoothly. I did email then to double check my order which I never received a reply. Now waiting for FedEx to delivery to my Australian address..
UPDATE REVIEW. Item sent with FedEx and tracking received. MyUS said my package weighed 11.8lbs and charged me for that weight. FedEx tracking shows my same package weighs 2.2lbs... MyUs definitely ripped me off with overstating the weight of the package and charged me the higher freight charge.
JUST LIKE OTHER REVIEWS.....SCAMMERS AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

1) MyUs ended up being significantly more expensive then just receiving a shipment direct from HerbsPro. 2) MyUs claims to charge Australian GST, but uses a rate of 15%, which must be legally questionable at best, when the gazetted rate is 10%. 3) MyUs does not provide full bill itemisation, they just add sundry charges with no explanation of… Read more
what benefit is obtained by the charges 4) MyUs has not responded to my request for clarification of their unseemly "tax" charges after 4 days. 5) MyUs was probably 10 days faster than waiting for the retailer to send direct. But spending over $200 AUD for a small 3.4kg package feels like a bad deal to me.
This company is a rip off. DO NOT USE. They charge Australian GST at at least 15% and then inflate the freight weight by using excessive packaging and charge more for the freight costs than the original packaging that your order arrived to them in. Took over 2 weeks to get them to agree that the invoice they were quoting of my order was the full price and not the amount we paid to the actual company we purchased from. They cannot be trusted Show details
This firm will hold your packages and claim they can't send due to Australian govt permit requirements. They then proceed to add STORAGE charges of more than $USD15 whilst you forward PROOF that the Australian govt does NOT require a permit. They then advise that their team will look into it but in the meanwhile will add accruing STORAGE charges.… Read more
All up my experience has cost nearly more than 3 months in delay and close to USD$200!!! Additionally, their eventual shipping costs are way more than their quoted calculations on their site! I would look at another gateway service BEFORE CONSIDERING MYUS!
I used MyUS to forward as standard envelop, 2 US sim cards the size of credit cards. they charged almost $100 Australia Dollars and a month later i'm still waiting they are very blunt, when asking for updates on shipping. their freight forwarder Aramex is just as rude saying wait for an update and hang up. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY VERY EXPENSIVE AND THEIR FRIEGHT PARTNER DO NOT DELIVER. Show details
Stole my package. Have tracking showing it as delivered to them and I didn’t get any notification of arrival so contacted their so called support with the tracking number and delivery notification. Now they want proof of delivery with address which I’ve already provided. Now 4 more emails I’ve sent and they’re silent. confirms why I avoid using this mob of thieves Show details
Horrible service!!! The only good thing is that they have a live chat however, they refused the send the parcel. Classified it as dangerous goods, but selling it freely in the US. Just excuses, so I had to return to sender, and they charged me for a higher shipping weight and arguing the parcel weight/dimensions are calculated differently for… Read more
domestic. This is when they referred me to their calculator and I picked the location and weight etc, only to see it's a different price. Then their customer service person said this calculator is for international (but allowing to calculate for domestic)? Ended up paying USD 40.56 for sending a 2.16 lb parcel within the US.
Used to be a great company ( 2015-2020 ) , A few hiccups during Covid which was understandable . Then about 2022 -2023 a lot of mistakes started to happen and then finally in 2024 they became a bit hopeless - Accounts not adding up - overcharges - unexplained charges . When I protested and asked for refunds ( multiple occasions ) and explanations I just received the run around . A very disappointing outcome after years of great service . Show details

I have never been more frustrated with a company in my life! MY US is an absolute nightmare to deal with. First of all, they charged me nearly three times the actual weight of my item for delivery – complete rip-off. I’ve never seen a company take advantage of its customers like this. Getting in touch with them is impossible. They don’t answer… Read more
calls, and their customer service is a joke. It’s like they want you to just give up and go away. You’ll spend hours trying to reach someone, only to be met with silence.
They use the cheapest courier they can find, and there’s no signature required on delivery. So, guess what? Your package will just be left outside. If it does get stolen, don’t expect any help from MY US. They refuse to refund missing packages or take any responsibility for their shoddy service.
Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. If you value your money, time, and belongings, find a better alternative. MY US is a scam, plain and simple!
NEVER EVER USE THESE SCAMMERS !!! REVOLTING SERVICE !!! Hidden fees, Hidden fees and more hidden fees.. Check the weight of your items. mine were up to 20x what the actual weight was and wrong on 6 items. They are very aware they do this, it is a scam as people don't usually question it. This company offers you a forwarding service, so that you… Read more
can purchase items in the USA and then forward to Australia so i wanted to purchase a bunch of trading cards.
I purchased 30 different items and had them sent to this place in Sarasota, they give you a running tally in your suite so you think you know how much to expect to pay.
The majority of my items had arrived at my suite and I thought i would have these sent before i ordered any more and i am glad i did.
The running quote was $62.89 usd plus GST payable to the Australian govement which should be 10% of the cost of the items which equals $45.56 [Total $108.45] for 4 pounds of items.
So you can imagine my horror when they said in order to send package the cost would be $255.40 usd.
This included Insurance of $17.50 which there was no mention of until this page and an additional fee for "item processing" of $42 which is not advised until now and the insane GST amount was $132.72 usd
I questioned this with customer service and they said this is for GST and a fee charged by the seller on each item, I spoke to one of the sellers and they confirmed they do not receive a cent back from companies that forward items and when I asked the agent to show in the conditons where they are allowed to charge this she couldn't produce anything.
I am waiting to hear from management but expect nothing and as soon as I have this sent to me i will be cancelling my account and NEVER SPEAK OF THESE DODGY SCAMMERS again in my life.
Don't fall for the same scam I did and use someone else and if you already have check the weight of your items.
Revolting company.
A zero star rating is deserved but nor available. You sign up for a free trial but there is no way to cancel it unless you pay $10USD. I contacted the chat and they cancelled my "free trial" as a courtesy for me not the pay the $10USD so I sent an email to the help desk and they told me to "change the membership" I had to pay $10USD. They… Read more
didn't even address the issue of not being able to cancel without a charge. If you are Australian they also charge GST and by the time you pay the shipping it's so expensive its not a viable proposition.
They do what they say but… – They do what they say…. But there are scams all over the place. For instance, if they don’t scan your package in (but you have delivery confirmation) consider it stolen by whatever illegal immigrant they have in their warehouse. So don’t order anything valuable. Then they charge you if items are in the box for more than 30 days so numerous times… Read more
I’ve been waiting for 1 final package (that was delivered days ago) and then I finally give up and order to avoid the fees / and boom that 1 item drops in the second the package leave. They are obviously told to sit on packages for boxes to run up storage fees. Lastly, they over weight that packages to charge you more freight. My last box was listed as 9.2 pounds…. Got it and weighed the whole thing (inc the packaging) and it was 6.1 pounds… not using anymore
Item Stolen by MyUS Staff - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY – A parcel containing a significant decorative bronze figurine (value about $200) was sent to MyUS from American dealer on 21 Jan 2025. IN BRIEF, A MyUS STAFF MEMBER STOLE THE FIGURINE. The item arrived at MyUS, as photos are made available of package contents. I was told all sorts of lies about the item being a probihited item, in order to… Read more
inflate shipping charges, as allegedly only DHL or Fedex would handle the item. The item (which weighed only 104 g) was eventually and allegedly sent via UPS in an oversize carton to allow shipping charges based on volumetric weight in this case 2 lb. MyUS uses automatic payments, but does not notify you of charges or request approval. You simply get charged, in this case about A$120. THE FIGURINE WAS NEVER SENT. I received an essentially empty sealed carton (not opened or tampered with), containing original packaging, paperwork, and a single metal token (not a coin), worth maybe $1 which had been gifted by the original vendor. What is most telling is that the contents description on the package makes no mention of a figurine, only a "Collector's non-gold coin". The figurine had been stolen at MyUS in Sarasota, and the paperwork adjusted to avoid Customs issues in Australia, where parcels are x-rayed. This is FRAUD and THEFT by MyUS. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. CANCEL ANY PAYMENT AUTHORISATIONS ASAP.
I can update this report, as I was able to recover some of the shipping charge through a claim with… Read more
Worst company every – worst company I have ever dealt with - they lost my package and the customer service just responded with vague claims they were escalating the matter and promises of being contacted by Management and none of that happened. package still lost and no resolution - don't use them. Frauds. Show details
My experience was great – I was worried as I'd read some of these reviews, after I'd already shipped goods to MyUS.com - oh well, no going back now I told myself. My 15.4lb package arrived with them and wasn't scanned into their system on the first day. But I read on their website it usually takes 24 hours for this to happen. I woke up to see an email saying a package… Read more
was in my suite, then 26 minutes later an email saying my shipping request was processed, based on the preferences I'd saved on their site.
My preference was DHL Express and it was collected by DHL within 3 hours of that 2nd email. The quoted price for 15.4lbs to Australia was USD$188.38 for DHL's 2-5 day service to Australia. Total price paid once insurance and other shipping options were added was USD$215.02.
The only charges that caught me off guard were USD$26.36 taxes and USD$6.09 government/carrier fee. BUT - I hadnt paid GST yet, and GST is listed on the import proforma so I believe the taxes were GST.
I had found a '15% off your first shipment' coupon online that their website saved prior to them receiving my items. This coupon saved me USD$30.90.
I also read that their process is to open, inspect and repack all items prior to shipment. Their repacking process resulted in the final shipping weight being 17.9lbs (original was 15.4lbs). The repacking weight resulted in the shipping cost going from USD$188.38 to USD$205.97 before insurance, tax and add-ons I'd requested. But given I had that 15% off coupon found online this doesnt bother me.
Was this process expensive? YES Did I know what I was getting myself into? YES Could I buy these items in Australia? YES-ish - but it was hard to find and people were charging AUD$495 each, and I purchased 2 of them. This process saved me AUD$294 (Total USD spend - items and shipping was USD$448) I was going to buy these regardless and this option was still cheaper than buying in Australia. Its all a matter of perspective.
I see a lot of negative reviews here, but I think many of them are because they weren't aware to set their preferred shipping method and options prior to having MyUS.com receive their goods.
I hope this review helps.
DO NOT USE!!! – Parcel successfully landed in Australia Sydney but then went missing actually marked as delayed over a month ago now. Parcel never arrived. Shipping fees paid and impossible to get a legible reply! I can only assume that some parcels perhaps get stolen by Aramex because they can’t lose this many! The ACCC need to investigate!!!
