“Waterstones.com does ship to my country, but it’s really expensive.”
- Waterstones may ship to your country, but at a marked-up price. In addition to MyUS being an accessibility option for when Waterstones doesn’t ship an item to your country, MyUS is also a cost-savings option for ordering an item from Waterstones and then reshipping to your home country, often at a lower total cost than the shipping price Waterstones would charge. Accessibility to shopping Waterstones internationally while saving money is at your fingertips with a MyUS shipping and forwarding address.
- 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.
