Furthermore, it further solidifies our leadership as the end-to-end solution of choice for any size of merchant, from small and emerging brands all the way to the world’s largest brands.”

“This partnership will open up new opportunities in the growing cross-border logistics and ecommerce space for both Pitney Bowes and Global-e,” said Gregg Zegras, Executive Vice President and President of Global Ecommerce, Pitney Bowes. “We look forward to continuing to provide ecommerce logistics services to Borderfree clients and expect to start shipping for Global-e clients in the third quarter.
