“Columbia.com doesn’t ship to my country.”
Have you seen an item on Columbia.com only to find out Columbia 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 Columbia ship to my country?"
Even though Columbia doesn’t ship directly to all countries, MyUS has helped millions of online shoppers buy from Columbia by providing MyUS members with a US sales tax-free US shipping address (and a UK address). Ship your Columbia 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 US and UK stores.
“Columbia.com does ship to my country, but it’s really expensive.”
- Columbia may ship to your country but at a marked-up price. In addition to MyUS being an accessibility option for when Columbia doesn’t ship an item to your country, MyUS is also a cost-savings option for ordering an item from Columbia, then reshipping to your home country often at a lower total cost than the shipping price Columbia would charge.
- If a store has an online presence in your home country, MyUS members also find their US address allows them to shop products and sales offered on the store’s US site which may be unavailable on the store’s website setup for your home country.
- Accessibility to shop Columbia internationally while saving money is at your fingertips with a MyUS shipping and forwarding address.

Columbia History
©Columbia
Columbia succinctly states, on their site, the origins as: “It all began in 1937 when Gert's parents fled Nazi Germany and settled in Portland where they purchased a small hat manufacturer, naming it the Columbia Hat Company. Signifying a fresh start for the family, the business eventually passed from Gert’s father to her husband Neal and then to Gert herself in 1970 when she went from housewife to executive overnight after Neal's sudden passing.
Our founder Gert Boyle’s "Tough Mother" persona lives on in the Columbia brand. Her legendary perfectionism ("It's perfect. Now make it better.") and the high standards to which she held herself and others still guide us today.
At Columbia, we're as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And while our gear is available around the world, we’re proud to be based in the Pacific Northwest where the lush forests, snow-covered mountains, rugged coastline, and wide-open spaces serve as our playground. This is where we hike, fish, hunt, camp, climb, shred, paddle, golf, run, and just enjoy the fresh air with friends.
We hope to see you out there. Way, way out there.”
