Consumers now have access to US brands who don't ship to Australia

HopShopGo makes it possible for Aussies to buy US products, and have them shipped to their doorstep just in time for Black Friday
 

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a worldwide boost in e-commerce. Here in Australia, being stuck inside during multiple lockdowns meant we became used to shopping for everything online. It also meant we became exposed to a worldwide market of online goods. But there's nothing more disappointing than discovering a must-have product that is only available on a US online store that does not ship to Australia.
 

That’s where HopShopGo can help. HopShopGo is an international shipping service that allows customers to buy from any US website and ship their packages to their home.
 

HopShopGo creates security for customers through an exclusive partnership with PayPal. Customers can sign up through their PayPal account to receive a US shipping address. This address is entered at the checkout of US online stores. Next, notifications will be sent to the customer as soon as their purchases arrive at their HopShopGo US address. Using their HopShopGo account, they can manage how they want to ship their US purchases to their doorstep.
 

“HopShopGo makes it possible to buy American brands from anywhere in the world,” explains Danny Lim, CEO of HopShopGo, “During recent lockdowns, we saw that more people were trying to buy international brands but weren't able to do so due to the restrictions of some online stores."
 

Benefits of using HopShopGo:
 

  • Worry-free transactions: HopShopGo uses PayPal Buyer Protection for safe purchases, and members can receive refunds for eligible orders.
  • Sales tax-free shopping: Members pay no sales tax (save up to 10%) on their purchases thanks to their US shipping address.
  • Solutions to payment restrictions: Gain access to stores that don’t accept non-US-issued credit cards with the BuyForMe service. 
  • Fast and trackable delivery: Receive packages in as fast as three business days with DHL’s and Fed-Ex’s door to door delivery service. 
  • Best value: Enjoy the cheapest international air freight rates in the market.
  • More savings: Members get to earn more savings on shipping costs by availing of consolidation and repacking services such as OneBox, which can help reduce overall shipping weight by up to 80%.
     

The platform has arrived in Australia in time for Aussie shoppers to take advantage of the biggest US Sales Events: Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Customers can use HopShopGo’s BuyForMe service on stores that don’t accept Australian issued credit cards. With HopShopGo, Australians can easily shop specials and exclusives from popular stores like Walmart, Macy’s, and BestBuy.
 

HopShopGo is excited to have relaunched on the 16th November 2021. The company was originally launched in 2010. Recently, the platform has undergone a complete makeover to provide new and existing members with a better shopping and shipping experience.
 

Currently, with over 250K members, with more than 98K of them being Australian, HopShopGo is expected to grow bigger in 2022 as it relaunches with various updated consumer services.
