The US is a market no online seller wants to ignore — with millions of loyal, high-spending customers, it’s a goldmine for growing e-commerce businesses. But while selling to the US is a no-brainer, shipping there isn’t quite so straightforward. Think: long delivery times, unexpected fees and confusing customs and logistics. If you’ve ever thought, “Well, that’s just how international shipping works,” — good news: it doesn’t have to be.
