Welcome to USA2YOU!
If you want to buy something online from a US-based store and have it shipped to
you anywhere in the world, then you’re at the right address!
Because
that’s what we do at USA2YOU: we literally bring "Any USA Store @ Your Door"!
Retailers in the US have a wide range of products and usually very
good customer service, but when shopping on-line you'll notice
that they generally don’t ship internationally and often
do not even accept foreign credit cards.
And when they do offer "overseas" shipping it’s often at outrageously
inflated rates. It's like they try to make up their low prices with
sky-high shipping rates!
The unfortunate truth is that you get stuck looking at
beautiful sites and products, but ordering and delivery is not so easy,
if not impossible! What’s one to do? USA2YOU offers the solution to this
problem. With experience in international shipping since 1987 (now more
than 100,000 packages shipped!) you can expect your order to be handled fast
&
efficiently at minimal cost compared to what a store would charge you to
ship direct.
Because of our daily
volume, we get phenomenal rates with FedEx. Other stores can't even
touch what we charge. And you get
to profit from that, too!
We offer two kinds of service:
Shipping Service
YOU buy and we ship:
With this service you use our American address in Washington state
(near Seattle)
as
your
"domestic"
shipping address and
have your purchase delivered there. Most stores will ship domestically
at no cost with a minimum order. Upon receipt of your items at our US address, we
inspect the contents to make sure that what you ordered was indeed
delivered (you won't believe how often we pick up on shipping mistakes
like mismatched shoes, or the wrong color or size for an autopart). We then take care of
(re)packing and prepare the
customs paperwork for international shipping to your address anywhere in the world via USPS Priority Mail, FedEx
or UPS. Because
of our volume we get large discounts from FedEx and UPS which results
in lower prices than you'd be able to get yourself.
However, since June 2018 companies sending internet orders to
a different state now
have to charge the local sales tax rate. It used to be that internet
companies would only charge sales tax to in-state deliveries, but now
they have to charge sales tax for deliveries to ANY state. USA2YOU, on
the other hand, is (as a reseller) exempt from sales tax, so in most
cases it's less expensive for the customer if WE make the purchase...
and that's our Shopping Service.
Shopping Service
WE buy and we ship:
Shopping Service means that
in addition to the above, we also make the purchase for you. You simply
tell us what you want us to buy and where to buy it - we then place the
order, charge it securely to our corporate credit card and have it shipped to our
Washington address. We check the contents to ensure the correct items were sent,
(re)pack, prepare the customs paperwork and then ship it to you anywhere in the
world.
How much does this cost exactly?
There are three cost factors associated with the use of our services:
-
The cost of the item itself, this fluctuates
with the dollar/euro
exchange rate
-
The cost of shipping, this fluctuates with weight & size of the box
and speed of delivery and carrier
-
The cost of our service, a flat fee of €35
for the first 2 shipped boxes plus –if applicable- a 5% fee on
amount that we charge on our company credit card if we take care of
the purchase.
All costs are quoted to you in advance, so you know exactly how much
something will cost.
Shipping costs
Shipping costs of course will depend on weight, and in some cases
also on size. Because of the daily volume of business that USA2YOU does with FedEx
and UPS, we
get large volume discounts on their regular rates.
Ordering together with colleagues or friends would bring
shipping costs even further down and
orders from multiple sites for one customer can be combined into a single shipment
at no additional charge.
USA2YOU costs
There is a €35 Shipping Fee for the first two shipped boxes, each
box thereafter is €10 additional. The original boxes of the retailer or
department store are replaced by generic boxes, if needed. In other
words: boxes that do NOT state which (expensive) retailer or department
store they came from.
If we arrange the purchase for you (our Shopping Service), a 5% Shopping Service fee
is added to the total purchase price.
How do I get a quote?
Easy! Simply complete the online quote form on our site.
After submitting, you will receive an no-obligation offer - usually within 24 hours.
You can then confirm by making a money transfer into our Dutch account
or by paying using PayPal to our Dutch or American PayPal account.
(there's a 3.9% surcharge for PayPal because of the international fees they charge)
We will then place the order for you if it's a Shopping Service. For
Shipping Service you can simply arrange shipping to our US address after
you receive the quote and accept it.
The Process
We will keep you informed every step of the way so you are never in the
dark as to what's going on with your order...
We will let you know
when:
-
we receive your
payment,
-
we purchase the items (same day or next business day),
-
we receive the items at our US
address,
-
we check the items for correct size, color and model (same day or next
business day),
-
and finally: when we ship the items to you.
All shipments come with a tracking number and are insured on request.
