GEODIS it to offer new e-commerce brands a new direct-to-customer intercontinental delivery service called GEODIS MyParcel.

To provide European consumers with reliable delivery at an affordable price from North America, GEODIS is launching a new, guaranteed 4-to-6-day B2C delivery service from the US to 27 European countries for companies seeking to develop their international online sales.

Although more and more web users are now visiting commercial websites located abroad, they often abandon their purchase halfway through the process due to high shipping costs, delivery times seen as too long, customs fees and taxes that are not revealed until after payment or even the lack of a clear return policy.

To overcome these hurdles, GEODIS is launching “GEODIS MyParcel”, a direct-to-customer intercontinental delivery service with guaranteed delivery times at a lower cost. “With the explosive growth of international e-commerce, our customers want to offer consumers a premium service at a completely transparent price,” explained Manoj Pankaj, Vice President Cross-Border e-commerce of GEODIS.

This new end-to-end service will initially ship small packages from the US to the end consumer in 27 European countries within four to six days. The service is to be progressively expanded globally. It includes validation of delivery addresses and merchandise HS codes, a tax and customs duty calculator (displayed throughout the payment process), as well as an option to reschedule a delivery, and shipment tracking at all key stages.
