eBay launches new shipping service with Singapore

The consumer-to-consumer Internet company eBay announced it along with partners SingPost and the U.S. Postal Service, have launched ePAC, a new shipping service for eBay Singapore sellers.

The new service reportedly means that eBay Singapore sellers can access an integrated online platform where they can take orders, print labels and track shipments. The enhanced international tracking and delivery is for lightweight goods, not exceeding 2kg, shipping from Singapore to the United States within 6 to 8 working days.

"This jointly developed service is another effort to provide a reliable and affordable delivery solution to a rapidly growing global community of online shoppers, and in this case, the U.S. buyers. E-commerce in Singapore has grown significantly over the last few years as more Singaporeans are embracing an e-lifestyle. SingPost is keen to play a big part in this growth and is offering value e-commerce fulfillment and logistics solutions in Singapore and the region," said Mr. Woo Keng Leong, executive vice president (Postal), SingPost.

Paul Vogel, president and chief marketing/sales officer for the U.S. Postal Service said: "We realize the great potential of eCommerce between Asia Pacific and the United States. This arrangement to offer ePAC in Singapore will help meet the demands of eBay buyers in the United States."
