SkyPostal changes name to SkyShop logistics
SkyPostal Networks announced that it has changed its name to SkyShop Logistics, Inc. to better reflect its positioning as a cross border shopping facilitator. Capitalising on SkyPostal’s efficient and low cost international delivery network, SkyShop has developed integrated shopping solutions which allow U.S. merchants to offer their international customers a simplified and cost effective buying experience from the moment of purchase to the cross-border delivery.
SkyShop’s solutions cater to two audiences; the International online shopper who otherwise could not buy from U.S. e-tailers and U.S. merchants that want to access foreign consumers with an interest in purchasing U.S. merchandise and be able to service them without the complexities of cross-border deliveries.
SkyShop’s consumer offering, PuntoMio (www.puntomio.com), gives non U.S. residents a U.S. address which they can use to make online purchases as if they lived in the U.S. Its Global e-Cart product (www.globale-cart.com) gives U.S. merchants integrated options with which to sell to the international client without the risks inherent in cross-border transactions: credit card fraud, high shipping and import costs, and complex import procedures. The U.S. merchant sells to the international shopper in the U.S. and SkyShop assumes full responsibility for shipping, clearance and delivery. The SkyShop delivery system features shipping rates less than those of express carriers and similar to parcel post rates, but with track and trace visibility.
The U.S. online shopping service offered by PuntoMio is primarily marketed through bank partnerships in the major Latin American countries. SkyShop signed agreements with key banks in the region such as Santander, Itau, Citibank and Scotiabank among others. Under its exclusive American Express offering, GlobalShop, (www.globalshop.net) SkyShop has launched with Garanti Bank in Turkey and Hapoalim Bank in Israel, with additional countries being rolled out in this quarter.
