Memorial Day Sale 2026: How to Shop U.S. Deals Worldwide

Memorial Day Sale 2026: Six U.S. Stores With Deals Worth Shipping Overseas

You found the Nike Dunks you’ve been eyeing for months — 40% off, Memorial Day price — and then checkout told you what it always tells you: “This item cannot be shipped to your address.” Meanwhile, someone in Ohio grabbed two pairs.

That’s the gap this guide is here to close. Memorial Day 2026 falls on May 25, and right now, stores like Amazon, Nike, Best Buy, and Adidas are running their biggest mid-year discounts. We’re talking 20–60% off electronics, sneakers, home goods, and outdoor gear. Below, you’ll find six stores running legitimate Memorial Day sale deals this weekend, with the specific info you need as an international buyer: what ships, what doesn’t, which stores reject your card, and how to get around all of it.

There’s one category of product that almost always triggers customs delays — we’ll get to that later.


Five U.S. Stores Running Real Memorial Day Deals Right Now

Amazon

The deal: Thousands of items discounted 30–50%, including Bissell vacuums, Apple AirPods, Ninja kitchen gear, and LG TVs.

  • Ships internationally? Limited. Amazon’s Global Store covers select items to select countries, but the best deals — especially from third-party sellers — are almost always U.S.-only.
  • Accepts non-U.S. cards? Yes, for Global Store items. For U.S.-only listings, your foreign card might be declined at checkout.
  • Category strength: Electronics and home appliances.

💡 Tip: When a deal is U.S.-only on Amazon, you can still buy it. Ship it to a U.S. forwarding address — like the one Planet Express gives you when you sign up — and we’ll forward it to your country.

Nike

The deal: Extra 20% off sale items with promo code START at checkout, valid through May 28. Men’s running shoes start at $42 after the code. Kids’ shoes start at $26.

  • Ships internationally? Yes, to about 45 countries. But inventory and pricing vary by region, and the U.S. store consistently has deeper discounts and wider selection.
  • Accepts non-U.S. cards? Yes, on Nike.com for supported countries. For the U.S. store specifically, you’ll need a U.S. billing address.
  • Category strength: Sneakers. The Air Jordan MVP 92 dropped $50 from its retail price during this sale window.

Adidas

The deal: Extra 30% off select items with code SUMMER26, running May 22–26. AdiClub members (free to join) get early access and occasional stacking discounts.

  • Ships internationally? Yes, to select countries via regional Adidas sites. But the U.S. site (adidas.com/us) carries exclusive colorways and deeper sale markdowns.
  • Accepts non-U.S. cards? On regional sites, yes. On the U.S. site, non-U.S. billing addresses are frequently flagged or rejected.
  • Category strength: Lifestyle sneakers and athletic wear. Ultraboost models regularly appear in the sale section during Memorial Day, though the “sale” price on Ultraboost 1.0s tends to hover around $135 regardless of the event — check price history before you buy.

Best Buy

The deal: Up to 50% off TVs, laptops, headphones, and appliances. The LG C5 65″ OLED TV dropped from $2,699 to $1,299 — a $1,400 discount.

  • Ships internationally? No. Best Buy ships only within the 50 U.S. states.
  • Accepts non-U.S. cards? Yes, but with a catch. You must ship to a U.S. address. Best Buy’s system also flags orders for cancellation when billing details can’t be validated, and Best Buy explicitly states it does not ship to known freight forwarders.
  • Category strength: TVs and major electronics. Memorial Day is consistently one of the two best times to buy a TV in the U.S. (the other is Black Friday).

⚠️ Watch out: Best Buy cancels orders with unvalidated addresses. If you use a forwarding address, make sure your name, card details, and the shipping address all match cleanly. Planet Express gives you a dedicated U.S. address under your name, which helps prevent these cancellations. In the event your order is cancelled, we can purchase for you via our Shop for Me service.

Under Armour

The deal: Extra 50% off apparel, 40% off shoes, and 30% off bags in the outlet section with code MDW. The UA Tech 2.0 T-Shirt drops to $16 after the code. Charged Assert 10 running shoes hit $42. Sale ends May 26.

  • Ships internationally? Limited. Under Armour ships to a handful of countries directly, but its U.S. outlet deals — the deepest discounts — are U.S.-only.
  • Accepts non-U.S. cards? On the main international site, yes. On the U.S. outlet site, non-U.S. cards may be declined.
  • Category strength: Performance athletic wear at steep discounts. The outlet-plus-code combination brings prices close to fast-fashion territory on premium gear.

Knowing where the deals are is half the problem. The other half is getting those packages to your door — wherever that door is.


How International Shoppers Can Take Advantage of Memorial Day Sales

Here’s the pattern: a store runs a massive sale, but it only ships domestically. Or it ships internationally, but rejects your card. Or it ships to your country, but charges $45 in international shipping on a $30 item.

Planet Express solves all three.

Here’s how it works with Planet Express:

Let’s say Carlos in São Paulo wants those Nike Dunks at 40% off, but Nike.com won’t ship to Brazil at the U.S. sale price.

  1. Carlos signs up at Planet Express and gets a personal U.S. shipping address in Oregon (no sales tax on most items).
  2. He buys the Dunks on Nike.com, enters his Planet Express address as the shipping destination.
  3. The package arrives at Planet Express’s warehouse. Carlos gets a notification with a photo of the package.
  4. He chooses his international shipping method — DHL, FedEx, or USPS — and Planet Express ships the Dunks to São Paulo.

Total time: 7–14 days depending on shipping speed. Carlos paid the U.S. sale price, avoided the “doesn’t ship to your country” wall, and saved 40% compared to the local retail price.

But what if the store won’t accept your card at all?

That’s where Shop for Me comes in. You send Planet Express the link to the product, and the team buys it on your behalf using a U.S. payment method. You don’t need a U.S. credit card, and you don’t need to fight with checkout forms that reject your address. You pay Planet Express, they place the order, receive it at the warehouse, and ship it to you.

This is especially useful for Best Buy orders (freight forwarder restrictions), store-exclusive items, and any retailer that flat-out blocks international cards.

How to Stack Savings on Top of Memorial Day Discounts

The sale price is step one. Here’s how to push it further:

  • Consolidate packages. If you buy from three different stores, Planet Express can hold all three packages and combine them into one shipment. You pay one international shipping fee instead of three. On a 3-item order, this can save $30–$60 in shipping costs alone. [ADD REAL EXAMPLE: actual consolidation cost comparison]
  • Skip sales tax. Planet Express’s warehouse is in Oregon, one of five U.S. states with no state sales tax. That’s an immediate 5–10% savings depending on where the store is based.
  • Use store coupons and promo codes. Nike’s START code, Adidas’s SUMMER26, Under Armour’s MDW — these stack on top of already-discounted items. A $100 shoe at 30% off with an extra 20% code becomes $56.
  • Weigh before you ship. Planet Express shows you the actual weight of your package in the dashboard. If your item is under 4 lbs (1.8 kg), USPS Priority Mail International is often the cheapest option. Over 4 lbs, DHL or FedEx may win on speed-to-cost ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does Memorial Day 2026 fall, and how long do the sales last?

Memorial Day 2026 is Monday, May 25. Most retailers start their sales 5–7 days early and extend them 1–2 days past the holiday. The best stock disappears over the weekend, so don’t wait until Monday expecting the same selection.

Can I buy from U.S. stores if I don’t have a U.S. credit card?

Yes. Some stores — like Amazon and Nike — accept international cards for select items. For stores that don’t, Planet Express’s Shop for Me service lets you send a product link and have the team buy it on your behalf with a U.S. payment method.

How much does international package forwarding cost?

It depends on weight, dimensions, destination, and carrier. . Heavier or bulkier items cost more. Planet Express’ Postage Calculator shows exact quotes on the dimensions entered before you commit to shipping. https://planetexpress.com/postage-calculator/
