Ship Merchandise Globally With Stamps.com International Flats

May 8th, 2023

If you ship merchandise to international addresses and your product is thin (between 1/4″ and 3/4″ thick), then you should be taking advantage of Stamps.com’s Global Advantage Program!   The program utilizes the USPS delivery network and allows online retailers to ship merchandise to an international address using a Large Envelope (Flat) mailpiece.

How Does it Work?

With the Global Advantage Program, mailpieces will travel to a Postal Processing Facility in the U.S. first where Customs Forms will be applied along with a new label containing the international destination address. Then mailpieces are consolidated by country and sent on to their international destination.

  • Incredible cost savings – save up to 49% compared to First Class Package International Service
  • Customs Forms will be sent electronically – no more forms to print
  • Get better visibility with more tracking events

Save Up to 49% Compared to First Class Package International Service

This new International Large Envelope (Flat) service can provide huge cost savings compared to First Class Package International Service.  Savings can be over $8.00 per Large Envelope (Flat), depending on weight and country destination!
