Wherever you're shipping, there are choices to make: express or economy, duties up front or at the door. We lay out the options and tell you which we'd pick.
The problem
The US rewrites its import rules, the EU shifts its thresholds, a market tightens overnight. You usually find out when a shipment is stuck at the border.
Express, economy, postal, duties paid or unpaid. Each lane has a best answer that turns on weight, value and speed. Go direct and you get a rate card, with no one to ask.
Going direct, you pay the carrier's standard price. The same parcels through our buying power come in 20 to 30% lower.
Each audience uses the same platform differently. Jump to the section that fits you.

Worldwide. The carrier network reaches 220+ countries and territories, from the EU and North America to the Middle East and Asia. Each lane goes on the service that suits it.
The major global and postal carriers: DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, Evri EU, Deutsche Post and Starlinks. We compare them on each order and route to the best-value one for the destination.
You decide. You can settle duties and taxes up front so the price your customer pays is final, or pass them on with the cost shown before they buy. There's no surprise bill at the door.
The EU rules don't sit still, and another change is coming. We keep your export paperwork and declarations current as they move, so your deliveries aren't the ones held up.
