Business Wire
GlobalPost, the industry leader in affordable, innovative
international shipping services, has announced significant upgrades
to its popular GlobalPost Standard Service. These upgrades include
an increased package weight limit from 4.4 lbs. to 70 lbs. and
expanded door-to-door tracking capabilities from 36 countries to
over 200 countries. All other current features of GlobalPost
Standard remain in place including free coverage, an easy claims
process and electronic customs forms.
In addition to these features, GlobalPost also offers
international small parcel delivery at discounted shipping rates.
This has become more critical than ever since many postal carriers
were forced to increase their international rates on July 1, 2020
due to the Universal Postal Union changes. Leveraging their global
delivery network, GlobalPost customers did not see a rate increase
on July 1 for their cross-border shipments.
GlobalPost Features Overview
The GlobalPost delivery network leverages partnerships with
international postal operators as well as commercial carriers to
offer worldwide delivery. GlobalPost services reach over 200
countries and territories and includes features not found in
traditional international postal services, including:
- Global Address Verification: Improve deliverability with
real-time address verification
- No Customs Forms: Send Customs electronically – no forms to
print
- Merchandise can be shipped in Flats: Saves money with
international flats/large envelopes
- Instant Refunds: Eliminates tracking refund requests that can
take up to 2 weeks
- Free SmartSaver Pick-Up Service: Schedule pick-ups when it’s
convenient for you and save even more by consolidating
shipments
- Parcel Coverage: $100 Included
“We’re very excited to offer these upgrades to our popular
GlobalPost Standard Service,” said Ken McBride, Chairman and CEO of
Stamps.com, the GlobalPost parent company. “By expanding our
maximum weight limits and tracking capabilities for international
small parcels, our customers can save money using GlobalPost
Standard for even more of their shipments to even more countries.
With these improvements, GlobalPost has become the clear choice for
affordable, cross-border shipping.”
