In the past, receiving packages from the U.S. in Mexico was nearly impossible—not just because some stores didn’t offer international shipping, but also because customs procedures were an endless maze. Fortunately, thanks to services like MyUS, you can order online without these restrictions.

With MyUS, you can shop on U.S. platforms using a local address—without worrying too much about the logistics, since they handle that for you.

But first, you need to understand how MyUS works, what it costs, and how users rate it. This post covers all that.

MyUS: A How-to Guide for Shopping from Mexico

MyUS: What It Is and How It Works

MyUS is an international courier service that gives you access to a U.S. mailbox so you can shop online as if you lived there. At the same time, it handles your packages and ships them to Mexico.

The goal is to eliminate any barriers that stop you from shopping at U.S. stores—especially when the store you're interested in doesn’t ship internationally.

How Does MyUS Work?

By assigning you a U.S. address, it acts as an intermediary between online stores and your home in Mexico.

How does that work?

You use that mailbox as the shipping destination when shopping online. Stores then send your orders to their warehouse, where MyUS receives and prepares them for delivery to Mexico.

They also handle customs paperwork, value declarations, and import restrictions, making the whole process easier for you.

Steps to Shop with MyUS from Mexico

Wondering how to use MyUS?

There are three main ways:

• Direct purchase: Go directly to your favorite store’s website and use your MyUS address at checkout.

• Shop through MyUS: Complete the entire shopping process via MyUS Shopping.

• Shopping assistant: The MyUS team shops for you through their assisted purchase service.

Here are the steps for the first option—direct purchase:

1. Register and get your U.S. address

Start by creating a MyUS account by clicking “Sign up now, it’s FREE.” You’ll get a 30-day free trial.

After registration, you’ll receive a physical U.S. address.

2. Place your online order

Visit your preferred store’s website (like Guess, Target, etc.), select your items, and complete checkout. Use your MyUS address so the order ships to their U.S. warehouse.

3. Manage your packages and choose how to ship them to Mexico

Once your items arrive at the MyUS warehouse, you’ll get a notification. Log into your account to view everything received, consolidate packages to save on shipping, and choose how and when they’ll be sent.

Your packages go through a customs review, where taxes and duties are calculated under Mexican law. If any charges apply, the courier will notify you.

4. Wait for your purchases at home

Once you've paid and selected the shipping method and carrier, all that’s left is to wait. MyUS ships through FedEx, DHL, and UPS—depending on your selection.

Thanks to MyUS, you can shop at many e-commerce sites, including:

• Amazon.

• Fashion Nova.

• eBay.

• GAP.

• Old Navy.

• Ann Taylor.

• Marshalls.

• J. Crew.

As well as many other U.S. stores with their own websites.

How Much Does Shipping from the U.S. to Mexico with MyUS Cost?

The cost depends on the carrier selected and the shipping method. Additional taxes and customs duties may apply when products enter Mexico.

Still, here’s an estimate by weight:

These rates may vary, so it’s best to use the MyUS shipping calculator.

Shipping Quote Example

The following example shows what it might cost to ship a package using two carriers. The weight is 5 kg and dimensions are 62 cm x 38 cm x 42 cm.

It’s also important to note that MyUS uses its TruePrice system, which calculates shipping based on weight. However, it only applies if your package is under 183 cm (length + width + height combined).

MyUS Customer Reviews

MyUS is a well-known forwarding service with years in the market. But if you check review sites like Trustpilot, you’ll see mixed feedback. In fact, the number of low-star reviews suggests you should proceed with caution.

What Do the Reviews Say About MyUS?

The most common positive comments include:

• Fast and reliable delivery with carriers like DHL or FedEx

• A good option for international shopping, especially when stores don’t ship to Mexico

• Package consolidation to save on shipping

However, there are frequent criticisms about:

• Unexpected charges or higher-than-expected fees
  Slow or unhelpful customer service

• Customs issues and lack of clarity on duty processing

Sometimes, users simply misunderstand the membership terms or the calculator. So if you’re unsure about something, contact their team and clear up all your questions before signing up.
