Cross-border e-commerce | Ship and sell from the U.S. to Europe

Global cross-border e-commerce is booming. Modern digital shoppers are very comfortable with the idea of buying from international brands, retailers, and manufacturers. From luxury goods to spare parts, from everyday basics to cosmetics and body care – you name it, we’ll buy it.

Secure, cost-effective, and easy borderless e-commerce is not fiction, but reality. But, to make it happen, you need the right partner.

OGOship has a great track record of helping e-commerce businesses to sell cross-border. With our optimized fulfillment center network, you can be as fast and cost-effective as the local players.

Make sure you are not missing out on a great opportunity to grow your international sales and your e-commerce business.

It’s true: shipping and selling cross-border may not always be a walk in the park. Shipping costs get easily out of hand, shipping times are long, and all the little details like VAT and customs regulations cause a headache. Unless, of course, you have the right partner that can make all of these troubles go away.

Take us, OGOship, for example. Instead of shipping one product at a time from the U.S. to, say the UK, why not use a UK-based fulfillment center and ship to your UK customers from there. We have fulfillment centers strategically located all over Europe so that you can reach most of Europe with low-cost next-day delivery.

The absolute beauty of our solution is that we have made it super easy to multi-warehouse: store the goods in multiple fulfillment centers at the same time while using the same stock in your online store. Our VAT compliance specialist partners help with the nitty-gritty details to get you up and running - or should we say selling your products in Europe - in no time.

Personal Care

Personal Care is a subcategory for the Food & Personal Care segment, and it includes products like cosmetics, medical and pharmaceutical goods. Alongside these, also nutritional products fall into this category.

Personal care is a fast-growing e-commerce segment. It has skyrocketed in recent years, as it offers a wide selection of products and brands not available in every store. You can combine competitive prices with inspirational content to make a lucrative service offering.

The online Food & Personal Care segment is seen as one of the most attractive growth areas in the e-commerce space. The market is still in an early stage of development, even though first-movers started their online businesses several years ago and many huge traditional retailers have followed their example.

Although Europe is the smallest of the three regions in this category: the U.S., China, and Europe, it still accounts for 20% of global revenue in this market. According to Statista, further transition to online shopping is anticipated for niche products. Marketplaces are expected to keep growing.
