International Consolidation:50% Savings on First Class Mail
I recently implemented/contracted an international shipping consolidator for two of my clients. So far they have been very pleased with the results. Given the consolidator's volume they receive better discounts than smaller mom and pop online stores.
It's a pretty straight forward service to setup. They are pretty much plug and play with ShipStation and Edncia Pro, but if you use ShipWorks it takes a little more effort. No contract, no fees. You determine which method is right for your business and they send you the rates.
You process like you normally would, and then send the shipments to them in NJ. They offer a pickup service which is built into the shipping rates, but have a 10lb minimum. You can opt to mail in yourself which is a reduced rate.
1-64 oz is a massive discount, 5-10 LBS less so, but then it starts to pick back up. We are sending 8oz parcels to the UK for about $8 versus USPS $14 and 64 oz first class for a little over $24 versus $51.50.
I figured it might be of interest to some of you online guys in the US. If you want their info drop me a PM and I will put you in contact with my POC. We have been doing it for a couple of months now and are very pleased.
