A five-year agreement between DHL and Borderlinx, a U.K.-based provider of cross-border e-commerce solutions, is designed to give shoppers outside the U.S. the ability to order products from any U.S. internet retailer. The Borderlinx solution also provides simple access to a global marketplace for US internet retailers who have previously only offered delivery within the U.S. marketplace.
U.S. e-retailers can integrate directly with Borderlinx to make their products immediately available to the international marketplace. Borderlinx provides internet merchants with payment solutions, order fulfillment and DHL delivery services for product delivery to any of the 225 countries and territories served by DHL.
All purchases are sent to and stored at DHL's primary air and ground hub in Wilmington, Ohio, until the customer requests delivery. One consolidated delivery of purchases saves consumers significantly on import fees, duties and transportation charges.
