As the owner of a growing e-commerce business, you’ll know research into best practice for any corner of your business is a must, and international shipping should be treated no differently.
Sure, the delivery companies you see advertised on TV, or who deliver your own personal online orders to your home, may seem attractive as a choice. They’re familiar and you know the name of the person handing over that parcel containing that thing you ordered, but can they really provide the network capability, quality of service and price, your business and, more importantly, your customers expect?
