vPOST launched two new services, vPOSTEUROPE and vPOSTJAPAN on 31 March 2009 for customers in Asia Pacific looking for product varieties, value buys and the convenience of doorstep delivery. The launch of these two new services complements the vPOSTUSA service which has already been made available in Malaysia, Thailand, India and Australia since 2007.
Featuring over 350,000 online stores from USA, Europe and Japan, vPOST is a onestop online portal for customers looking for best bargains and products not available in their home countries. Free personalised USA, UK and JAPAN addresses enable them to shop direct at US, European and Japanese merchant websites that do not accept international orders. Customers of vPOSTUSA and vPOSTJapan can also enjoy significant shipping savings by consolidating multiple purchases.
Started off as an electronic payment gateway in 1999, vPOST made its foray into online shopping and shipping services with the launch of vPOSTUSA in Singapore in 2003. vPOSTJAPAN and vPOSTEUROPE were launched in 2005 and 2008 subsequently. vPOST is now one of the largest online shopping and shipping service providers in South East Asia.
vPOST Partners Vine Global Solutions and eBags.com
Aiming to deliver greater convenience and value to its customers, vPOST has tied-up with Vine Global Solutions, an international e-commerce solutions provider, and eBags.com, a US online merchant, to offer online shoppers the convenience of shopping and ordering using local currencies.
Through this partnership, vPOST provides door-to-door parcel delivery for eBags, while the latter leverages on Vine Global’s technologies in language translation and currency conversion to access to overseas markets.
With this platform, customers can view product price and shipping cost in both US and local currencies, and be charged at fully landed cost for their orders. This one-price experience gives online customers the certainty of the price they are paying for as they have their orders shipped from US to their home countries via vPOST.
