Optimise International Shipping with ShipStation + FedEx

In ecommerce, shipping not only connects consumers with their purchases, it also plays a leading role in the market reach of your brand.

In the not-so-distant past, Australian businesses were limited to selling to customers within  national borders. Today, thanks to the internet, brands can expand their customer base across the globe.

However, if you plan to grow your business internationally,  you are going to need shipping software that connects all of the dots for you.

The Role of Shipping in Ecommerce Success 

Shipping platforms enable  ecommerce businesses to manage the shipping process all in one place. Shipping software automates tasks such as order entry, label generation, dispatch, and delivery arrangements. Shipping software also makes sense of “red tape” like international shipments, customs requirements, and foreign currencies. 

Good shipping software helps ecommerce businesses expand their courier options and brand selling points (carbon neutrality, sustainable packaging, returns portals, etc). Good shipping software also communicates delivery updates with customers, and automates the entire shipping process from start to finish.

Shipstation helps ecommerce businesses automate their shipping, save time, and take back control. No matter where or what you sell online, ShipStation gives you the tools required to refine your shipping experience.

ShipStation has also partnered with FedEx to bring ecommerce businesses and their customers even more powerful shipping tools, suitable for international deliveries.
Borders are now irrelevant thanks to the ShipStation + FedEx shipping integration. 

The Challenge of Ecommerce Shipping 

When it comes to shipping, we rely on the details. An incorrect address, change of details, inappropriate delivery speed, or limited handling options, are just a few of the things that can make or break a successful delivery.

Customisable shipping tools let brands adjust the shipping process to meet their exact requirements. With shipping tools like those offered by ShipStation + FedEx, it’s easy to handle complex orders and sustain a high degree of delivery confidence.

In contrast, without shipping customisation tools, brands quickly find themselves unable to address many common shipping challenges. This includes things like third party billing, multi-package delivery, and electronic trade documentation (ETD).
