Take Advantage of US Goods at Lower Shipment Rates

I really wish that that I had known this earlier, because my dad had just gone down to meet a friend in Manila, which is around 5 hours away from our place. He has to claim the distance measuring instrument that he will use for his part-time surveying job.

Would you believe that this instrument was ordered off from the internet? He figured out that to save on shipping fees, he’d rather have someone from the US buy the instrument for him then claim it from someone who will be visiting our country.

He enlisted my help in finding the cheapest seller. We discovered that most US-based sites offer the cheapest deals for the same model. However, these deals are not available for non-US customers. There are those other sites, but we found out that shipment costs a lot. He could end up paying a hundred dollars more!

He’d rather wait for his friend to come into the country and meet him. This had taken several weeks, but to him, the huge savings was worth the wait.

Now I’ve learned about MyUS.com website, I really wished we had bought stuff that way. At least we did not have to do this special arrangement. We could have that instrument without paying a lot on shipment. We could even order that instrument even if the particular site only ships within the US.
