I’m sure many Mommies would agree with me that one of the greatest perks of the evolution of the Internet is online shopping.  I love shopping online for my kids’ clothes as they tend to be cheaper than local retail prices and the ranger is wider/nicer. When Dana was younger, I shopped weekly from my favourite U.S. online brands like GAP, Ralph Lauren, Old Navy, Carters and Gymboree. I’ve also bought adult Winter Jackets from Timberland few years back. 

The Black Friday (25 Nov 2016) and Cyber Monday (28 Nov 2016) sales where majority of retail outlets will be offering the lowest prices and deepest discounts start this week. However, the thing about online shopping is that not all stores ship direct to Singapore and even if they do, the shipping costs may be hefty. Apart from joining online shopping sprees like those at Singapore Motherhood.Com, I’ve used freight forwarders like VPost, Borderlinx and Comgateway before but none fail to impress.

Just in time for Black Friday Sales (which will start at 4pm Singapore time today!), allow me to introduce you to another great shipping option via MyUS.  MyUS is Number 1 in the freight forwarding industry, with over 11 million packages shipped since 1997.
