Use
PacMe
to get your US mailing address and shop for
your favourite brands with reduced shipping rates.
L
iving in a city full of malls
and stores, where shopping
is practically a national
hobby, you’d think that
finding clothes for different shapes
and sizes would be a breeze, right?
So why is it that we often go into
a store envisioning a wonderful
shopping experience, credit card
in hand, only to find the sizing so
frustrating that we leave empty-
handed? Buying from international
stores online is an option, but overseas
shipping can cost a bomb.
Thankfully, through PacMe, you
can now shop at your favourite US-
based stores online. Not only does
PacMe forward your packages, it will
consolidate and repack them for you
too, reducing overall volume and
saving you money.
Getting started
So how does it work? Simply sign up
at pacme.com (
using promo code
“expat” to snag a free account
). You
will receive your dedicated mailbox
number at the PacMe warehouse
immediately upon signing up so you
can start shopping straight away.
Before buying your item, enter your
PacMe address in the shipping field at
the checkout, then sit back and relax
while your purchases are received,
sorted and stored until they all arrive.
Your parcel
After they receive your shipments,
the PacMe team will take photos
documenting each item, and everything
will be stored at their warehouse for
free.
Once all of your shopping has
arrived, PacMe will cleverly pack
everything into one shipment as tightly
and carefully as possible, and then
send it off to you using your service of
choice – PacMe partners with all the
shipping carriers. The best discounts
start at around 15kg, so make sure you
fill up that shopping cart!
