Newgistics Launches Cross-Border E-Commerce Delivery ServiceAUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)-- Newgistics, a leading provider of end-to-end e-commerce solutions for top retailers and brands, today announced the international expansion of its parcel delivery and return services.

Key features of Newgistics' International Solution include:
According to eMarketer (News - Alert), global consumer spending through e-commerce is expected to hit $1.5 Trillion in 2014, and is being driven by growth in emerging markets. This creates significant opportunity for U.S.-based retailers that ae prepared to sell internationally. "Managing logistics is one of the biggest challenges for e-tailers expanding overseas because international shipping has been expensive and often complicated, hit by delivery delays, customs hold-ups and unexpected additional charges," said Ted Tanner, VP global solutions, Newgistics. "As a result, many U.S.-based e-tailers have been reluctant to target overseas customers, but we're helping to change that. Our mission is to help retailers break down the barriers to growth in e-commerce and our new international delivery service gives them a fast, cost-effective solution to the challenge of international home delivery." Newgistics' International Solution offers a simple pricing structure without complex volumetric charges, along with fast paperless customs clearance and full tracking so that parcels can be monitored at every stage of the outbound journey until final confirmation of delivery. For this new service, Newgistics is partnering with wnDirect which will manage the international transportation and customs clearance, including ID capture and duty payment management for countries where appropriate. Parcels collected in the U.S. will be shipped out of international gateways at Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, and will then be sent to domestic delivery partners for the final mile delivery to the customer. "International e-commerce is a minefield of multiple languages, purchasing habits and expectations. Our entire offering is built on an appreciation of these challenges and, in response, for each market we deliver from and to we seek out a best-in-class partner," said Stuart Hill, wnDirect's CEO.
