FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A part of the Stamps.com family, GlobalPost offers a range of domestic and international shipping solutions, including the Global Advantage Program, through our partnerships with global postal carriers and commercial carriers. These partnerships allow us to offer time and money-saving features not found with traditional international services.

GlobalPost offers the following services:

• • International
    • GlobalPost Economy International
    • GlobalPost Standard International
    • Global Advantage Program
  • Domestic
    • Domestic First Class Service (Available in Los Angeles market only)
    • Parcel Select Destination Entry

GlobalPost Economy International, GlobalPost Standard International, and Global Advantage Program services offer the same benefits: no customs forms, free coverage, free global address verification and more.

The main difference is the Global Advantage Program leverages 100% the USPS global delivery network, whereas GlobalPost Economy International and GlobalPost Standard International are designed to support any combination of carriers, including USPS and other international postal carriers. Because the GlobalPost products are not reliant on USPS relationships with the UPU, if there are any changes to the USPS international shipping services, GlobalPost users’ shipping experience remain the same, while still receiving similar transit times, customs clearance process and competitive rates.

GlobalPost Economy International is a cost-efficient international shipping service that offers tracking into the destination country. GlobalPost Standard International service includes delivery confirmation.

All GlobalPost and Global Advantage packages are first sent to one of our domestic regional shipping centers for international processing and bundling. At the GlobalPost shipping center, we print and apply an international shipping label and customs form using the contents information you provided. Your package is then handed to a postal carrier, such as the USPS, and transported to its final destination.

Like the Global Advantage Program, GlobalPost today uses the USPS for the first mile and last mile so it supports any package currently delivered internationally by the USPS, up to 66 lbs.

Whether you ship hundred of packages a day, or one package a week, you can still take advantage of GlobalPost or the Global Advantage Program. A volume requirement may apply for select pickup services. Call 1-888-899-1255 for more information.

GlobalPost services are available through select shipping platforms, including Stamps.com, Endicia, ShipStation, Shippingeasy, and ShipWorks. There is no additional fee to have GlobalPost and Global Advantage Program enabled on those platforms.
