But shipping internationally isn\u2019t always easy. You have to account for taxes, <\/span>import duties<\/span><\/a>, tariffs, and more. The complexity involved with <\/span>international shipping <\/span><\/a>involves seeking out the services of an <\/span>international fulfilment<\/span><\/a> partner like ShipBob.

Reach more customers with global fulfilment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 3PL with global fulfilment services allows fast-growing ecommerce businesses to expand their customer base and launch into new markets. While this sounds simple in principle, branching out on an international scale can be challenging. There are many factors that ecommerce businesses must account for, such as higher shipping costs and longer <\/span>last-mile delivery<\/span><\/a> times. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe want to continue to spread our brand internationally and are glad that more of our customer base can get better shipping rates and delivery times. We\u2019re still a small operation, but with ShipBob we can be a more global company.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, small to mid-size <\/span>direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands<\/span><\/a> can rely on a fulfilment partner to provide the necessary infrastructure and technology needed to go global. With 3PLs like ShipBob, you\u2019re able to store inventory in one or more of our international fulfilment centre locations, so you can deliver to international customers faster. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top 3 challenges that stop ecommerce stores from expanding globally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considering how beneficial it is to serve international customers, many online stores lack the resources needed to do so. Here are some of the common reasons ecommerce businesses hold back from launching into international markets. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Too expensive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re storing all your inventory in your home country and you\u2019re shipping orders internationally, it will cost you. This is solved when partnering with a 3PL that offers international fulfilment centre locations so you can fulfil and ship orders within the country. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Too long for shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not only can shipping far from your home country increase transit time, other issues such as customs can cause delays in shipping. By storing inventory within the country you\u2019re shipping to, you\u2019re able to reduce transit time significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Too complicated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every country has their own set of rules and regulations when it comes to shipping orders. And customs and taxes can be a challenge to understand when you\u2019re first launching into new markets. ShipBob\u2019s international fulfilment experts work side by side with you to make sure your international launch goes smoothly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3PLs like ShipBob remove these challenges for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob is a leading ecommerce order fulfilment<\/a> solution that operates warehouses across the globe. You have the option to <\/span>split inventory across fulfilment centres<\/span><\/a> based on where customers are located.
