UKP Worldwide Becomes Approved USPS Global Direct Entry Wholesaler

Easy, affordable eCommerce solutions direct to your USA customers

 We are pleased to announce the successful launch of our Global Direct Entry (GDE) service – helping businesses deliver eCommerce goods to their U.S. customers. As an approved Global Direct Entry Wholesaler for the United States Postal Service (USPS), it allows companies to ship directly to their U.S. customers’ from many destinations around the world quickly and at an affordable price.

Specialising in international mailing, distribution and eCommerce logistics, we have been sending goods to the U.S. on behalf of our customers for more than 14 years. In 2010, we set up a subsidiary in New Jersey, where we have been working directly with the United States Postal Service and very much see ourselves as an expert within the field. As a result, we have been providing parcel and address sortation services to our customers, allowing them to benefit from postal sortation discounts.

The GDE service is perfect for eCommerce or wholesale customers that send goods with a value of $200 USD or less to the U.S. and internationally. Our service provides:

  • Direct access to the entire U.S. market with goods exported directly to the United States Postal Service
  • Two delivery services available:

    – Standard 5-7 days
    – Express 2-4 days

  • Shipping of goods up to 15kg
  • Insurance protection available
  • USPS tracked service
  • Email notification
  • Customs clearance

Lee Bucktrout, Managing Director, UKP Worldwide says “The UK has the highest share of online retailing in the world and is the second biggest online retail exporter, beaten only by the USA. 2013 saw £32 billion online retail sales in the UK, of which £4.2 billion was international customers. By 2020, the value of the UK eCommerce is estimated to be £68 billion. Online consumers increasingly expect visibility and delivery notifications throughout the whole process and don’t expect the delivery of goods to cost more than the product they have paid for. This is especially the case when ordering goods from overseas where cross border shipping can be a real cost issue for the consumer, and at times a barrier to export for the retailer. Our U.S. service is efficient, trackable and offers a cost effective alternative to expensive courier shipments. Our customers have been able to improve their delivery time and provide their U.S. consumers a tracked service with email notification that’s resulted in lower costs, quicker delivery and the recipient being updated at each stage of the delivery.”

We will be attending the eCommerce Expo, Olympia, London on 1st-2nd October and the World Mail & Express Show, Kuala Lumpur on 14-16th October 2014, where we will be available to discuss full details of the GDE service and advise how you and your customers could benefit.
