International Shipping Guide: How to Buy Products from US & UK Stores

What is Package Forwarding?

Living outside the US or UK doesn't mean missing out on amazing products. Package forwarding services bridge the gap, allowing you to shop from stores that don't ship internationally.

Package forwarding services provide you with a US, UK, or other local address. You ship your purchases there, and they forward the packages to your home country. It's that simple.

How BabyloneCart Simplifies This

At BabyloneCart, we handle the complexity for you. When you shop our curated collection, we manage international shipping directly – no need for multiple forwarding services or complicated logistics. Browse our premium oud products, tech gadgets, and more with confidence.

Top Package Forwarding Services

One of the largest forwarders with warehouses in multiple US locations. They offer package consolidation, photos of received items, and competitive shipping rates.

MyUS

Known for excellent customer service and fast processing. Great option for frequent shoppers with membership plans that reduce per-package costs.

Planet Express

Shop & Ship (Aramex)

Particularly popular in Middle Eastern countries with a strong network across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

How to Use These Services

  1. Sign up and get your US/UK address
  2. Shop online and use your forwarding address
  3. Wait for packages to arrive at the warehouse
  4. Choose your shipping method and pay forwarding fees
  5. Receive your package at home

Tips for Success

  • Consolidate packages – Combine multiple orders into one shipment to save on shipping
  • Check restrictions – Some items like high-value agarwood may have specific import requirements
  • Consider duties – Research your country's import duties before ordering expensive items
  • Insurance – Always insure valuable shipments
  • Track everything – Keep all tracking numbers and documentation

Why Shop International?

International shopping opens doors to products unavailable locally. From rare Vietnamese agarwood to unique vintage-style phones, global marketplaces offer treasures you won't find at home. BabyloneCart curates the best of these products and ships directly to you.
