The tech-driven logistics startup iThink Logistics announced a cross-border shipping partnership with global express transportation and logistics business FedEx.
According to iThink Logistics, the strategic alliance intends to provide shipping solutions and significant cost savings to e-commerce businesses expanding into foreign markets.
Earlier this month, the logistics firm announced a partnership with India Post to transport e-commerce orders to distant corners of the country. Due to various client requests and customs restrictions, international shipping complexity frequently offer challenges for small and medium-sized e-commerce enterprises, according to the company.
This collaboration addresses these challenges by combining FedEx’s extensive transportation network with the platform’s comprehensive SAAS solution. This synergy empowers businesses of all
sizes to meet cross-border shipping demands at FedEx rates, it said.
“Partnering with an entity like FedEx propels us, and our sellers, many steps closer to global outreach and unmatched service reliability,” Zaiba Sarang, Co-founder of iThink Logistics, said.
With this, e-commerce entrepreneurs can harness FedEx’s suite of services, encompassing the lightning-speed 2-3 days delivery service, and its International Priority Express, among others, and additionally, they can expand their reach to over 220 countries within 2-3 days using FedEx International Priority, it said.
For bigger items, the agreement allows for deliveries in 3-4 business days via FedEx International Priority Freight.
