Save money by using Mailboxes express service

As we move closer to Christmas, Mailboxes U.S. Express becomes significantly busier with new customers, shipping inquiries, and many more incoming shipments.

U.S. Express gives customers a convenient U.S. address in New Jersey for shipping purposes. Currently, we have over 9,000 businesses and residents (local and guest workers) that use our service.

It is, by far, the least expensive with a cost of $20 per year for the address.

Then when your package is received in New Jersey, it’s consolidated with 300-400 other orders and shipped into Bermuda together each day. This saves the customer up to 80 per cent off regular courier costs.

It’s that simple, really.

Low costs

A 2lb. package through a regular courier with clearance and handling charges will cost in excess of $80.00 in most cases. U.S. Express charges just $25.05 and does not charge clearance or handling charges, making U.S. Express the least expensive courier into Bermuda by far.

In addition, your package takes just three days to arrive in Bermuda from the time it is received at our hub in New Jersey.

Advantages are that it’s fast, inexpensive, and easy to use. We call our customers personally when their shipment arrives. We’re able to keep our costs low because our customers collect their packages from our head office, Mailboxes Unlimited on Par-la-Ville Road.

Customers also like our long hours, 8am – 6pm Monday through Friday and 9:30am – 5pm on Saturdays.

Truthfully, when you shop online, you have a massive selection to choose from. You can easily find the item you want, the exact colour and often, as there are so many websites, on sale. You can save a lot of money shopping online.

Another little known secret is that if you go away on a shopping trip, you pay 25 per cent duty on purchases at the airport. When you ship items in through U.S. Express, you pay greatly reduced duty rates on items such as:

• Clothing 6.5 per cent
• Shoes 0.00 per cent
• Cameras 8.5 per cent
• Supplements 15.00 per cent
• Jewellery 6.5 per cent
• Watches 10.00 per cent

On clothing, the duty bill can be so much lower that it completely pays for the shipping charges.

Customers are telling us that it’s far less expensive to buy on line and ship in through U.S. Express than to go away and buy it yourself and pay duty at the airport.

All in all, we have seen huge growth in this section of our business and the 9,000 customers prove that it’s good value.
