      What is ePost Global?

      ePost Global consolidates parcels from multiple shippers across the country and transports them to their consolidation facilities. They work with their international logistics partners to deliver them to the destinations.

      This gives ePost Global large volumes allowing them to negotiate discounted rates which they can then pass onto their clients.

      ePost Global’s extensive logistics partnership network allows them to offer a variety of options for Trackable/Non-Trackable services, Duties Paid and Unpaid, and varying transit times. Allowing clients to choose the service that best suits their business model.

      Note: ePost Global is formally known as RR Donnelley.
