The rise of eCommerce hasn’t come without trials. One of the most common problems in international eCommerce for online retailers is the complete loss of tracking. When talking to a customer about her struggles while trying to break into international eCommerce, she complained that she spends more time tracking packages and claims than anything else. At her wits’ end, she knows she needs a simpler service with full tracking and delivery confirmation. Customer satisfaction is at the forefront of her mind.

Losing sales and customers

We’ve heard it time and time again, lack of tracking is causing companies to lose sales. She’s not the only one struggling with package visibility either. Selling products internationally often feels like swimming in a sea filled with complicated processes. Logistics, documentation, taxes, customs and hidden fees top a few.

Companies offering their products to international consumers need know each country’s rules and regulations, which change from time to time. Certain products might even have certain rules, especially when it comes to food, drugs, alcohol, weapons and antiques. Tax requirements, the correct documentation and a process in case any disputes arise are also important. 

Is it even worth it?

Package size, weight, insurance and other factors still need to be considered. You often wonder, is it even worth it? So many problems come to the front of your mind, could they ever outweigh the benefits?

Another recent customer cited his issues with package size and weights. His shipping rates were quoted as one number, but the final invoiced amount was higher. His packaging was not efficient for his products, so he is being charged for a higher weight than his package actually is. Valuable time is also being taken up with disputing invoices. So much so that he feels his company just isn’t keeping up with his competitors.

Consumer behavior forces change

In an era where transparency has a high value, how can international shipping be offered when packages may be lost and never get there? How can you offer your products internationally when you can’t ensure they will get where they’re going in a timely manner? In this age of Amazon-like instant gratification, we want our packages! We want them now! A]nd we want full visibility on where they are after they ship! With consumers becoming used to this instant gratification, what can a company do to keep up?
