We are so excited to announce that MYRN Silk has gone international. We now ship outside of the UK to six new markets, including the United States, Canada, UAE, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
When you visit MYRN Silk online, you will now see our products listed in your local currency, including local taxes. All you have to do at checkout is pay for the international shipping.
How did we do it?
You might be wondering how we managed it. I honestly could not believe how easy it was. Thanks to Shopify's integrations with FedEx and DHL, in less than two hours we expanded our online store from the UK to six new countries.
Shopify automatically updates your currency based on where you are shopping from, calculates any local taxes and works out the shipping cost at checkout. And that is it, now we are officially international.
I told the real Mirren this morning that MYRN Silk was being shipped to America, and she had a total look of awe across her face. To a six year old girl and a 42 year old grown up, this feels like a really special moment for our company and our family.
Of course, I cannot do much about international shipping costs or taxes. But if you are an international customer considering MYRN Silk, you can still take advantage of 15% off your first online order when you subscribe to receive MYRN Silk marketing emails.
And finally, a huge thank you to our very first US customer, who gave us the nudge we needed by personally asking us to ship one of our products to them.
Without you, we probably would not have taken this step quite so soon. We had convinced ourselves that international shipping would be too complex, or that something might go wrong.
Sometimes, all it takes is one person to make you realise that something is actually possible.
So, hello world.
