GlobalPost, the industry leader in affordable, innovative
international shipping services, today announced the launch of
GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver service for online retailers. GlobalPost
Plus SmartSaver is a fast, low-cost international shipping
alternative for high volume shippers that fulfill 30 or more
packages per day and includes prepaid duties and taxes for parcels
going to UK, Mexico and Canada. The service includes features not
found in traditional international shipping services. These
features include allowing users to process heavier packages up to
66 lbs., send products up to $2,500 in value and ship without
customs forms.
GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver includes advanced customs clearance,
with shipments usually clearing customs electronically often before
the shipment arrives in the destination country. This process helps
expedite the delivery process, allowing the shipment to quickly be
delivered to the buyer.
The GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver service offers online retailers
these great benefits:
- A Better Customer Experience: With sellers paying the
duties and taxes, the buyer receives a smooth and easy delivery
experience.
- Decreased Returns: Shipments that arrive without duties
paid face a high rate of refusal, or abandonment, as unhappy
consumers refuse to pay the additional costs. When customers refuse
a package, the seller typically has to pay the return shipping fees
to get the package back.
- Increased Sales Conversion: GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver
is designed to help online sellers improve their shopping cart
conversion rate. If duties/taxes are not included in the website
checkout, there’s a higher chance for cart abandonment because the
buyer can’t anticipate the cost of the customer’s fees. By
including duties/taxes as a shipping option, sellers may experience
a much higher cart conversion rate.
“Getting deliveries from the U.S. to international customers
quickly and reliably is the goal for all online retailers.
GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver makes international shipping a lot
easier,” said Ken McBride, Chairman and CEO of Stamps.com, the
GlobalPost parent company. “GlobalPost Plus SmartSaver reduces
hassle, increases peace of mind and helps get orders into the hands
of online buyers in Canada, Mexico and the UK a lot faster.”
