Miami-based international e-commerce retailer MyMalls is launching a ‘24-hour’ delivery service to online buyers in the Caribbean and Latin America in cooperation with DHL Express.
The new service, to be launched on August 17, will connect over 650 influential fashion and electronic web stores in the USA with millions of international shoppers via a dedicated retail shipping website offering rapid doorstep delivery, the company announced.
Shoppers in the Caribbean and Latin America can register on Mymalls.com and get a free US shipping address in the form of a customer suite in the MyMalls warehouse at Miami. This helps customers buy even from e-commerce stores that do not ship outside US and also reduces the shipping charges by a considerable margin.
Once an item reaches the MyMalls warehouse, the customer receives an alert and can then pay the overseas shipping charges online. Customers can consolidate up to three different parcels into one single shipment, thus reducing shipping costs.
DHL Express picks up the shipment from MyMalls warehouse and delivers it to the customer’s doorstep after collecting the import tax and VAT. The delivery is executed within 24 hours of receiving the item at the Miami warehouse, the retailer said.
Customers therefore pay at three levels: the price of goods at the online store, the cost of shipping to MyMalls through PayPal, and import duty and VAT to DHL at the time of delivery.
The service includes free insurance up to $100 in value along with free storage for up to 60 days compared to just 15 days at most competitors, MyMalls said.
MyMalls said it has grown to become one of the leading fashion and electronic e-commerce platforms for Latin America and the Caribbean. It retails over 100,000 products from 1000 brands, from both established and emerging designers, with fast shipping worldwide.
