Newgistics’ international delivery solution includes delivery to 34 key global markets with plans for future expansion, tracking, direct injection into local markets and carriers to ensure local delivery expertise and pre-paid and paid in-country returns processing.
Additionally, it includes customs clearance, parcels delivered duty paid and control over packaging, email communications and other details, so retailers can maintain a consistent experience no matter where their customers reside.

Parcels collected in the US 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.
