As online shopping continues to grow, you can often find cheaper prices on products, especially in the US. The competition between online stores as more enter the market as well as an increase in customer demand are factors that drive down prices for online shoppers. Shopping online in the U.S. is accessible to nearly everyone in the world. However, one issue that arrives with many international online shoppers is that, when shopping online in the U.S., they find that they need a U.S. address in which to ship their U.S. products.
The solution to shopping online internationally in the U.S. is simple: use a package forwarding company. With a package forwarding company, you will be able to have a personal U.S. address where you can ship your products and they will then forward your products to you.
Purchase more affordable products when shopping online in the U.S.
U.S. Package Forwarding is easy, efficient, and oftentimes an easy way to SAVE more when purchasing products online. In many countries, the price for products can be higher than their cost in the U.S., even with currency differences. Take for example the iPhone 13, wherein the U.S. costs $799, cost $1099 in Canada. Which, even with currency differences, costs almost $200 more and that’s not even including local taxes!
With these large price differences by country, it is clear to see why online shopping in the U.S. can give you a better selection of products that you want, but it can also let you save hundreds of dollars!
Sales-tax-free online shopping in the U.S.
If you have been shopping online in the U.S., you know many of the states impose a sales tax on transactions. This sales tax is similar to the VAT tax used in many other nations around the world.
Sales taxes in the U.S. can be zero, or it can be very high. Unfortunately, sales taxes are becoming more prevalent as time goes on, although there are still a few states that do not require any sales tax on items purchased online.
OPAS ensures its customers would have access to U.S. goods at the best rates possible. Located in Oregon, where there is zero sales tax, customers have access to goods at the lowest rates possible.
Why Is It Important For Customers Abroad To Have An Oregon Shipping Address?
When it comes to making purchases online and in person, the state of Oregon imposes very few taxes. While the state is not very well known abroad, and even people in the United States might not know much about it, it is valuable for customers.
When you do business with OPAS, you can rest assured that your shipments will be routed through Oregon. Because of this, you can avoid taxes that you might end up paying if you used other services.
Because you live abroad, you are under no obligation to pay U.S. taxes in most cases, even when buying goods. By ensuring that your shipments will go through Oregon, you also ensure that you will pay zero sales tax almost every time!
Buy more at one time when online shopping in the U.S. with package consolidation.
This is the most common option that most package forwarding members use each time they ship. Let’s say you order a new sweater from Ralph Lauren, an iPad from the Apple Store, and a few more items when online shopping in the U.S. Each of these items is going to come in its own box, and there will probably even be extra space in each box.
You can consolidate packages by asking us to take the smaller items out of their boxes and put them all together in the largest box. (If they won’t fit in the largest box, we’ll use an even larger box from our warehouse and put all your items in that one.) Presto! Your four or five packages just became one international shipment when shopping online in the U.S.!
