To begin with

Both Global Shopaholics and MyUS have three different subscription plans. MyUS portal consists of a single package plan, a premium one as well as a business plan. Global Shopaholics' has basic, premium, and business plans on the board for its customers. Starting with the preliminary plans of both companies:

Single package plan vs Basic plan

The MyUS’s single Package plan allows the user to shop from a single retailer and ship only one package to its destination. Moreover, there is no package storage option for the people who subscribe to the single package plan. On contrary, Global Shopaholics’ basic plan includes better features than that of MyUS. Basic plan allows the customers to shop from multiple stores and ship multiple packages, there is no limitation. Additionally, the basic subscribers can avail a free warehouse storage of 30 days!

The debate of which freight forwarding company you should choose for international shipping can go on and on. However, you can decide for yourself only by looking at the facts and figures. Every package forwarder would claim to be the best but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Keep scrolling to see what's more on Global Shopaholics Upfront that MyUS is missing out on!

Warehouse storage

There is a maximum warehouse storage of 30 days when shipping with MyUS. Whereas, Global Shopaholics offers a maximum storage of 210 days! All Global Shopaholics’ members have access to other added features like free photos on package arrival. MyUS portal does not include these features for the first two plans which means you’ll have to pay for them if you’re a premium or single package subscriber.

Address correction

With Global Shopaholics you have the option of address correction if you’re a premium or business member whereas, MyUS has this option open only for its business members. Premium members, who although, are paying for the subscription do not have this option when owning a MyUS address.

Cashbacks

Global Shopaholics offers Cashbacks as well as other deals and discounts to all its premium and business members. However, MyUS offers shipping volume discounts to only the business plan members. Here’s a chance to win cashbacks on every transaction you make and save a pretty penny for more shopping!

Equipment testing

If you’re buying electronic equipment or tech-devices from the US stores, you’ll definitely want to get them tested before shipping. Most US stores do not offer the equipment testing service for the customers abroad. When shipping such equipment with Global Shopaholics, you can put in a request for getting all your electronics and cyber devices tested before shipping. MyUS portal does not include any such service, in which you can get your equipment tested before shipping.

Package Insurance

You can get your packages insured for as low as $1 or only for 1% of the cost of the purchase with Global Shopaholics. MyUS shipping insures your packages for $2.99 per package which would eventually spike up if you ship multiple items.

Added perks with Global Shopaholics that can’t be seen on MyUS portal!

Let’s say if you’re too caught up in your schedule and are unable to perform small actions, you can allow your account manager to perform such actions on your behalf.
