LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GlobalPost, a leading international shipping courier, is now available to UK retailers through ShipStation, a leading cloud-based ecommerce shipping solution. This marks a major step forward in its global expansion strategy, following its successful entry into the Canadian market earlier this year.
Through ShipStation, UK retailers can now use GlobalPost to ship easily and affordably to over 200 countries and territories around the world. GlobalPost is trusted by over 100,000 active shippers, supported by over 200 successful partnerships, and brings significant benefits to UK retailers – particularly in the wake of Brexit, which has complicated international shipping with new regulatory hurdles and customs requirements.
The UK represents a critical market for GlobalPost's expansion, driven by its robust ecommerce sector and strategic position as a gateway to Europe. As UK retailers navigate increased customs paperwork and fluctuating shipping rates, GlobalPost stands ready to support them. With pre-negotiated shipping rates, streamlined customs processes, and automatic HS code assignment, GlobalPost simplifies international shipping, enabling British businesses to seamlessly reach a global customer base.
“GlobalPost's expansion into the UK unlocks new opportunities for British retailers,” said Shea Felix, Vice President of GlobalPost. “By simplifying the complexities that come with international shipping, we enable these businesses to accelerate their growth into new markets. GlobalPost removes the obstacles of cross-border shipping, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best – serving their customers. This is a significant step forward in facilitating seamless global trade.”
“Expanding GlobalPost to ShipStation customers in the UK is a testament to our commitment to helping retailers worldwide,” said Matthew Trattles, Vice President of Product at Auctane, parent company of ShipStation. “ShipStation's robust platform integrates with hundreds of couriers and marketplaces, streamlining the entire shipping process for UK retailers. By incorporating GlobalPost, we offer retailers reliable and cost-effective international shipping, empowering UK businesses to manage their operations efficiently, reduce costs, and improve international delivery speeds. This ultimately supports their growth in the global marketplace.”
