What is the Interparcel International Bulk Solution

Do you sell small and lightweight products?

It could be phone accessories or dog collars. They're usually under 500 grams, which can make them expensive if you want to ship them overseas. Currently, you might only offer to send these products locally or to certain domestic regions due to the costs involved.

But what if you wanted to start selling them globally? It's the next natural step to take as an ecommerce business. It might not seem feasible due to the costs to send small individual parcels overseas, especially when you factor in the pick-up fee. You would need to pass these costs on to your customers or absorb them and potentially take a loss.

Thankfully, we are launching the Interparcel International Bulk Solution!

It can help you save costs on international shipping and help you scale your business so you can have a global presence. Are you interested? Read on to find out how it works.

The Interparcel International Bulk Solution Explained

For most businesses, if they wanted to start shipping small and lightweight products internationally, they would get charged for the delivery and a pick-up fee for each parcel.

But the Interparcel International Bulk Solution allows you to consolidate multiple small and lightweight parcels into one package, which will get delivered to a DHL fulfilment centre. This means you'll only pay the pick-up fee once. You can use any courier service of your choice to transport the package, and your individual parcels can go to places all over the world.

Once the DHL fulfilment centre receives your box, they will unpack the separate parcels and ship them to their final destination using the country's local postal authority. When you utilise this solution, you'll be able to send products to over 220 countries and territories. You'll even be able to provide milestone tracking in 57 countries.

How to Use the Interparcel International Bulk Solution

The great news is that the Interparcel International Bulk Solution is included as part of the Shipping Manager. You can import your orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay like you usually do.

When you've collected all your orders from their various platforms, you'll want to take these simple steps.

1. Book your orders for a bulk collection
2. Ensure you have Smart Boxing turned on, so you know which parcel to use to collate your individual parcels
3. Pack the individual parcels into one box
4. Schedule a courier of your choice to pick up the single box
5. Print off your international labels as well as the one for the single box and attach them as you usually would
