Have Overstock? ShipByMail is your affordable ticket for transferring inventory out of the North American Market

If you have an international business with inventory in Canada or the US, you’ll know that it isn’t always easy to predict what volume of goods you’ll need and when. Even for online merchants, the management of inventory can be tricky at the best of times. As businesses, we buy when it’s affordable and sell whenever we can, but sometimes, those two different actions don’t line up perfectly. This is where ShipByMail can help! Particularly for Amazon resellers or other international e-business models that require local inventory, some businesses can get caught having too much stock that isn’t moving. The timing simply isn’t right. Rather than accruing heavy storage fees to keep your items where they are, it is often smarter to either move items to a more affordable storage location or also move them out of the region entirely. If you’re an international business working in North America,ShipByMail is your [...]

Dimensional Weight and how it can work for you!

Shipping fees can seem like a mystery for many online shoppers. We’re often so focused on buying items and getting them delivered quickly, but don’t have the time to work out how the shipping costs break down or find ways of making them more affordable. And yet, we’ve all been there at some point, caught off guard when the shipping fees on one item are double (or even half) that of a previous order. With your Canadian mailing or domestic orders, does it ever seem like there is no rhyme or reason how certain fees are charged and why? Here, we explain one of the primary factors in shipping fees, to take out the guess work and help you make informed decisions about your purchasing. Two of the biggest factors involved in shipping are: 1) package origin vs. destination, and 2) DIM Wait… what does DIM mean??? Short for Dimensional Weight, DIM is also referred to as volumetric weight. Basically, it is a [...]

What is BuyForMe and how can it save you money?

BuyForMe is a service that enables users to bypass retail purchasing restrictions and qualify for tax exemptions in Canada. Not only can this save you money, but it’s also a handy way to avoid complications that may arise with international purchasing. While a high percentage of Canadian retailers accept international payment methods, some merchants have restrictions on the payment origin or method of payment used on their site. For whatever reason, some companies may only accept payment from Canadian sources or users. The great news is that ShipByMail’s BuyForMe service can bypass any purchasing restrictions. Another huge benefit to BuyForMe shoppers are the tax exemption savings. Items purchased and shipped directly to your Canadian mailing address are subject to all applicable domestic levies, including GST, a 5% Goods & Services Tax that is automatically applied to all domestic purchases. In addition, most provinces have an additional 7-10% PST (Provincial Sales Tax) or HST (Harmonized Sales Tax that [...]
