What is the difference between GlobalPost Economy International, GlobalPost Standard International and Global Advantage Program?
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.
How does GlobalPost work?
All GlobalPost and Global Advantage packages are first sent to one of our domestic regional shipping centers for international processing and bundling.
