Macy's Launches International Shipping on Macys.com
Posted on June 27, 2011
Macy's announced the launch of international shipping from its ecommerce site, macys.com, today. Macy's will ship to a total of 91 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America. Macy's partnered with FiftyOne to help offer shipping to international customers.
Kent Anderson, president of macys.com, said, "International shipping will enable Macy's to build upon its existing customer base beyond the United States by exposing our product offerings abroad. In 2010, non-U.S.- based shoppers accounted for 36 million visits to macys.com; the prospect of satisfying the demands of this consumer is an exciting business opportunity for us. It also provides Macy's with a global platform on which to build our reputation as a source for great fashion and value."
Update: Macy's has since expanded its international shipping to over 200 locations worldwide. Macy's uses its partner, Borderfree, to handle international orders. Macy's says Borderfree is a "global e-commerce company that helps provide international shoppers with product prices using the currency of their choice, favorable international shipping costs, and the lowest possible order total."
