GlobalPost Upgrades Standard International Shipping Service, Increasing Weight Limit to 70 lbs. and Door-to-Door Tracking to Over 200 Countries

Aug. 25, 2020

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2020--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.
