STAMFORD, Conn.--()--Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides innovative products and solutions to power commerce, announced its Borderfree.com site, a global online shopping experience for international consumers to reach iconic retailers in the US, UK and Australia, just in time for the holiday season. Cross-border shoppers in countries and territories around the world can shop with fast and secure checkout, member-only offers, as well as multi-merchant order tracking, among other shopping conveniences.

Account sign-up is free and welcomes cross-border shoppers to connect with great brands and retailers. Borderfree makes it easy for the cross-border shopper to:

  • Enjoy exclusive deals and great savings at the world’s favorite brands by browsing a variety of duty free and holiday offers on Borderfree.com
  • Check out with a preferred payment method, language and currency on the retailer’s site with Borderfree express checkout
  • Track orders online at Borderfree.com for more than 250 retailers
  • Contact Borderfree multilingual customer service

“Consumers around the world who love to explore and shop top brands now have a compelling experience,” says Lila Snyder, Executive Vice President and President, Global Ecommerce at Pitney Bowes. “The new Borderfree.com encourages cross-border shoppers to try new brands and the 2016 Holiday Gift Guide will inspire shoppers to make sure that their special someone – even if it is themselves – receives a unique holiday gift.”

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.

Pitney Bowes offers the Borderfree retail experience to consumers as part of its Global Ecommerce business. The Global Ecommerce business includes cross-border ecommerce solutions and shipping management solutions.
