Honest comparison · updated 2026
iWishBag vs MyUS
MyUS has forwarded US and UK packages since 1997. You get a US or UK address, shop the stores yourself, and MyUS consolidates and ships worldwide. It also runs a Buying Assistant that can buy for you. Pay with eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay, or bank transfer in NPR, delivered to all 77 districts of Nepal. Here’s where each one wins.

Three real situations
Which one should you use?
The honest answer depends on the situation. Here are three concrete scenarios with our pick for each.
A US-only gadget, but your card won't work abroad
You found it on Amazon US. Your card keeps getting declined.
Our pick
iWishBag. We buy it and you pay locally. MyUS would still need a card that works on the store, or its paid Buying Assistant.
You ship from US stores every month
A dozen orders a month, and you already have a working US card.
Our pick
MyUS. High-volume consolidation and member discounts are where it shines, and you keep full control.
One US item and one Flipkart item, together
A US gadget plus something only sold on Flipkart, in one delivery.
Our pick
iWishBag. We source both in one quote. MyUS is built around US and UK stores.
Questions answered
Everything you want to know
Is iWishBag a MyUS alternative for Nepal and India?
- Yes. We're built for shoppers in Nepal, India, and nearby markets who want to pay locally, skip the international card, and see customs duty in one upfront price. MyUS is a worldwide forwarder centered on US and UK stores, where you usually pay by card and may owe duty at delivery.
Does MyUS include customs duty?
- Usually not. MyUS quotes the shipping, and import duty is assessed at your destination and paid by the recipient. We put the estimated duty in the upfront quote, so nothing's owed at the door.
Can MyUS buy items for me?
- It can — MyUS has a Buying Assistant, so both of us can buy on your behalf. The everyday difference is that buying for you and taking local payment is our default, not an add-on.
How does iWishBag work?
- Send us a product link from any store — Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Flipkart, Myntra, Daraz, anywhere. You get one price covering the item, shipping, customs duty, and delivery to your door. Pay in your local currency; we buy, clear customs, and deliver. We've done this since 2014.
Do I need an international credit card?
- No, and that's the main thing that sets us apart from most forwarders. Pay with local methods in your own currency, and we make the purchase for you. A foreign card or PayPal account is never required.
