To help cross-border shoppers find that perfect gift, Borderfree.com released the 2016 Holiday Gift Guide that promotes retailers offering a seamless cross-border shopping experience. The guide highlights gift ideas for everyone on a shopper’s list.
Pitney Bowes’ Global Online Shopping Study found that two-thirds of global consumers have shopped cross-border in the last year, and the Borderfree.com site is a resource for the growing population of shoppers looking for items that they cannot find locally. For example, a Canadian shopper can set up a free account at Borderfree.com that stores her address and preferences, and easily shop a variety of retailers from the US, UK and Australia. She then can track her orders all at one site. Over 100,000 shoppers from around the world have already signed up for accounts on the recently launched Borderfree.com site.
