DEERFIELD BEACH, FL, July 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Got a trip planned to visit the US so you can "shop till you drop"? Visiting one of the top three spots - 5th Avenue in New York, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, or Sawgrass Mills Mall in South Florida? Or just middle America as in Omaha, Nebraska? Do what the sophisticated shopper is doing now, shopping ahead and taking advantage.
The United States continues to be the premier destination for international consumers. According to the Commerce Department, tourists spent $153 billion in 2011 on US travel and related goods and services, a new record, up from $130 billion in 2010. Although sightseeing may be considered the number one reason to visit the US, shopping is not too far behind. International consumers simply want US products. Even when a US merchant won't ship to an overseas customer, US based companies provide a solution. International consumers are provided a US Mailing address to receive packages and then offered forwarding services with major carriers to over 225 international countries and territories. Merchants won't sell to overseas customers, don't worry, another solution is provided with Personal Shopping programs where these companies will purchase and receive the merchandise for you.
So why not provide a solution to international consumers who visit the US to vacation and shop but spend most, if not all of their time shopping. Well, MyAddressUS.com did just that; provide a solution by launching the "Concierge" service for international consumers visiting the US to shop. The program, designed to put more relaxation in a US Shopping Vacation, is the most recent benefit for Premium Members. It allows a consumer to shop ahead up to 90 days, visit the US and then receive their purchases at any US destination. And of course, if the consumer goes back and regrets that they didn't purchase that one item, they still have an account and address to continue shopping.
It works like this:
- Plan a trip to the US, whether personal or business.
- Register a Premium Membership with MyAddressUS.com and obtain your personal US Address.
- Start shopping and ship all your purchases to your personal US Address.
- When packages are received, an email notification is sent and you can login to your account and review your purchases.
- Store your items for up to 90 days at NO cost.
- Before your trip, update your shipping address online to your US destination.
- When the time comes to ship your items, login to your account and select the items to be shipped and make an online payment. Within 3 days, your items will arrive.
Although the benefit is designed specifically to put more relaxation in your shopping vacation, it does more than just that. It also allows the consumer to:
- Purchase exactly what they want at the right price. When shopping at a store, you can only purchase what is available at the store or in the backroom. And with online shopping growing, many stores don't carry every style, color and/or size.
- Save money! By having 90 days to shop ahead, international consumers can take advantage of individual store sales, online coupons like Groupon and Living Social, and auction sites such as Ebay.
- Bring it back with them, in their luggage, packaged the way they want, on their flight or drive home. (if necessary, work directly with Custom Agents, face to face, on their trip home versus through a major carrier or a US based company via the phone and/or email).
"We're here in South Florida and it's quite amazing what we see, the number of South Americans and Europeans that make their way to South Florida just to shop. Whether they are at the Sawgrass, Aventura, or Dolphin Mall, or even at one of the boutiques in the different shopping areas, they always seem to be exhausted at the end of the day. So, we simply found a way for them to enjoy themselves by freeing up some of their shopping time by doing it before they visit. And it's not just South Florida. We have been able to assist travelers visiting the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, the US Capitol in Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco and of all places, Las Vegas. Who wants to spend all their time shopping in Vegas?" states Raj Lwin, Managing Partner, MyAddressUS.com.
So, the next time you plan a trip to the US and shopping is on the agenda, get sophisticated by making sure the first thing you do is consider the "Concierge" service provided by www.MyAddressUS.com. If you don't, you just might not relax during that "shop till you drop" shopping vacation!

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Despite the ever-louder drumbeat for sustainability and global efforts to advance environmental initiatives, Earth remains on a collision course with "unprecedented levels of damage and degradation." That's according to a new United Nations (U.N.) assessment that includes UC Santa Barbara researchers among its authors.

SF State researcher releases first results from nationwide bee count
2012-07-11
SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2012 – A San Francisco State University biologist has released the initial results of her nationwide citizen science project to count bee populations and has found low numbers of bees in urban areas across America, adding weight to the theory that habitat loss is one of the primary reasons for sharp declines in the population of bees and other important pollinators.
Now the researcher plans to add to her data -- which is now the largest single body of information on bee activity in North America -- by further comparing how bee populations are faring ...

TLR1 protein drives immune response to certain food-borne illness in mice
2012-07-11
A naturally occurring protein called TLR1 plays a critical role in protecting the body from illnesses caused by eating undercooked pork or drinking contaminated water, according to new research from the University of Southern California (USC).
The discovery may help create more effective oral vaccines for infections of the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and already has launched an examination of how TLR1 is linked to inflammatory bowel disease, says R. William DePaolo, assistant professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at the Keck School of Medicine ...

2012-07-11
John Pandolfi keeps his optimism alive despite the grim scientific evidence he confronts daily that the world's coral reefs are in a lot of trouble – along with 81 nations and 500 million people who depend on them.
The world-renowned coral scientist from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and University of Queensland has traced the story of the world's reefs over more than 50 million years and is deciphering delicate signals from the past to reveal what doomed them in previous extinctions – and how this compares with today.
This knowledge is priceless ...
Cancer Cell article shows first evidence for targeting of Pol I as new approach to cancer therapy
2012-07-11
San Diego, July 10, 2012 – Cylene Pharmaceuticals today announced that research collaborators at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac) in Melbourne, Australia have established, for the first time, that RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) activity is essential for cancer cell survival and that its inhibition selectively activates p53 to kill tumors. Published today in Cancer Cell, the findings show that Cylene's Pol I inhibitor, CX-5461, selectively destroys cancer by activating p53 in malignant but not in normal cells.
The researchers repeated these studies with in vivo ...

Despite benefit, hospitals not always alerted of incoming stroke patients
2012-07-11
Treatment is delivered faster when emergency medical services (EMS) personnel notify hospitals a possible stroke patient is en route, yet pre-notification doesn't occur nearly one-third of the time. That's according to two separate Get With The Guidelines®– Stroke program studies published in American Heart Association journals.
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recommends EMS notify hospitals of incoming stroke patients to allow stroke teams to prepare for prompt evaluation and treatment. Quick response is vital for stroke patients, particularly ...
Tiny magnetic particles may help assess heart treatments
2012-07-11
Tiny magnetic particles may help doctors track cells in the body to better determine if treatments work, according to research reported in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, an American Heart Association journal.
Researchers showed that injecting immune cells containing magnetic particles into the bloodstream was safe and did not interfere with cell function. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can then track the cells moving through the body.
"This could change how we assess new treatments affecting inflammation and the outcome of a heart attack or heart failure," ...
