How Does MyUS International Shipping Work?

We’ll show you how to get international shipping from AO UK. When you sign up for a MyUS account, you'll gain access to easily shop across one of the most popular retail stores in the UK..

After following these quick steps below, you’ll be able to ship from AO to Australia, Canada, the US, India, Germany, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, Israel, South Korea, or any other country*!

“AO.com doesn’t ship to my country.”

Have you seen an item on AO.com only to find out AO doesn’t ship to your home country? We understand that frustration, and we're here to fix it. Thanks to MyUS, you no longer have to ask, "Does AO ship to my country?"

Even though AO doesn’t ship directly to all countries, MyUS has helped millions of online shoppers buy from AO by providing MyUS members with a UK shipping address (and a US sale tax-free address). Ship your AO purchases to MyUS, or items from thousands of other stores, and we reship to you anywhere in the world!* A MyUS ship forwarding address is your access to shop UK and US stores.

“AO.com does ship to my country, but it’s really expensive.”

  • AO may ship to your country but at a marked-up price. In addition to MyUS being an accessibility option for when AO doesn’t ship an item to your country, MyUS is also a cost-savings option for ordering an item from AO, then reshipping to your home country often at a lower total cost than the shipping price AO would charge.
  • If a store has an online presence in your home country, MyUS members also find their UK address allows them to shop for products and sales offered on the store’s UK site which may be unavailable on the store’s website setup for your home country.
  • Accessibility to shop AO internationally while saving money is at your fingertips with a UK shipping and forwarding address.
