UPS To Serve Growing Cross-Border E-Commerce Market With New International Shipping Service
24 Juillet 2019 - 3:30PM
- Cross-border online sales will make up 20 percent of global
e-commerce in 2022 – new, streamlined service enables small
businesses to seize the opportunity.
- Cost-effective cross-border shipping service designed to
provide small and medium-sized businesses flexibility, visibility
and affordability.
- Economy export product available for customers in Canada,
China, Hong Kong, the UK and the U.S. to key e-commerce
destinations across the world – with more markets to follow.
With global cross-border e-commerce sales expected to reach $1
trillion in value by 2020, UPS (NYSE:UPS) is launching UPS®
Worldwide Economy, a new service to address small and medium-sized
retailers’ needs for reliable, affordable and efficient
international shipping. This new service connecting to key
e-commerce destinations across the world will initially be
available to customers in the U.S., Canada, China, Hong Kong and
the UK. The service will expand to other key global markets in the
near future.
“Our customers are seeking growth opportunities by doing what
UPS did decades ago – they’re going global,” said Nando Cesarone,
president of UPS International. “The opportunities are even greater
in today’s dynamic international trade environment with
cross-border e-commerce set to grow two times faster than domestic
e-commerce. Global cross-border online sales are projected to make
up 20 percent of e-commerce in 2022.”
“This new service gives our customers options to seize
international growth opportunities,” Cesarone added. “And while the
‘last mile’ gets a lot of attention in our industry, we know small
businesses look carefully at the first mile. With the same driver,
same pick-up service and competitive rates, we’re making that first
mile easier and more economical for even the smallest of our
customers. This service enables small businesses to compete like
micro-multinationals.”
The UPS Worldwide Economy service benefits U.S. businesses in
the B2C and B2B space that are looking to export to key e-commerce
destinations across the world, but have been waiting for a more
affordable way to ship internationally. Exporting opens doors to
new customers, and helps businesses diversify revenue to offset
economic shifts.
This new service offers customers more flexibility by allowing
them to choose between shipping with delivery duties paid or
unpaid, reassuring levels of visibility and tracking of delivery
milestones via UPS.com, as well as the convenience and reliability
of access to UPS’s global logistics network.
“With both B2C and B2B cross-border trade continuing to expand,
our small and medium-sized customers need services that offer
flexibility, visibility and affordability – giving them a better
shot at competing with bigger businesses,” Cesarone said. “With the
other e-commerce services in our product suite, such as UPS
eFulfillment and Ware2Go, our smart global logistics network offers
customers the choice, convenience and control needed to take their
business to the next level.”
UPS eFulfillment, launched in Feb. 2019, offers small and
medium-sized businesses worldwide streamlined fulfillment and
shipping services to consumers in the U.S. and Canada. This online
platform supports purchases and orders from 21 different
marketplaces and web stores, such as eBay, Walmart, Etsy and
Amazon, including Prime.
Ware2Go, launched in Aug. 2018, is a technology company and
digital platform that matches available warehouse space and
fulfillment services to merchants’ needs using both UPS and non-UPS
warehouse space. The solution is especially attractive to small and
medium-sized companies that need to forward stock inventory and
fulfill orders for B2B e-commerce.
