International Shopping Tips: Shop Smarter with Ships US

If you live outside of the United States, getting the best deals on the latest merchandise may seem impossible. Whether a top retailer doesn’t ship internationally or does not accept foreign credit cards or bank drafts, it may seem like you are stuck waiting for a trip abroad to get your shopping fix. But with Ships US, you can enjoy the best of American shopping by setting up your own U.S. address and having your packages shipped directly to you in a way that best fits your budget and your needs.

With our service options, such as international package forwarding and package consolidation, Ships US allows international shoppers the luxury of making purchases at a number of American retailers and having their items forwarded to them. You can take advantage of the best deals on the goods that you want the most in the U.S. by following these tips:

Look for Discounts

Online shopping is incredibly popular, and stores often encourage shoppers to spend even more money by offering coupons and other incentives for online purchases. Many of these coupons can be used by more than one person, and are good for free shipping, a percentage off of your total purchase, or even free items with purchase! Search sites such as RetailMeNot or CouponCabin for coupon codes that can be used before you begin shopping, and then put those discounts to good use to get the best bargains.

Sign Up for Loyalty and Rewards Programs

Many U.S.-based retailers offer special discounts and rewards for customers who sign up for their programs. This may include a percentage off your first purchase, or special deals that are only available to members of the program. In many cases, it’s free to join these loyalty programs, so it is more than worth it to take advantage of the potential discounts that you will receive on your merchandise.

Shop the Sales

Throughout the year, American retailers offer major sales. Some are very well-know, like Black Friday sales on the day after Thanksgiving. Others are less well-known, but can mean big savings for the savvy customer. Most U.S. businesses time their sales to coincide with American holidays and special events, like Labor Day, the Fourth of July and back to school. Pay attention to American holidays, and be sure to check online for upcoming sales that are around those times. You’ll be able to get great deals by planning ahead and doing your shopping during these times!
