As many of you may already know, Pitney Bowes announced that they will be winding down their GEC (Global eCommerce) division, and last week they issued a massive last minute rate hike to push shippers off their service. Tuesday, 8/13, is the last day Pitney will allow new labels to be printed. This means anyone using Pitney Bowes for shipping or returns will be greatly impacted. This significant change is bound to impact logistics and shipping costs, and I want to assure you that at QuickBox, we are fully prepared to support you through this transition. At QuickBox, culture isn’t just a set of values we talk about—it’s the driving force behind everything we do. When we heard of the rate hikes last week, we began mobilizing resources to develop creative, solutions-oriented strategies to help our current and prospective clients navigate these changes effectively. Here’s how we’re stepping up: Innovative Solutions: We’re crafting tailored strategies to avoid or mitigate the impact of the rate increase and carrier closure. Contingency Planning: We are leveraging multi-carrier options to protect brands from future carrier closures and related disruption. Cost Efficiency: Our teams are identifying ways to optimize shipping processes and reduce overall costs. Expert Guidance: We offer personalized consultations to help you adapt and thrive despite these changes. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to explore how we can support your business and turn this challenge into an opportunity for growth. We believe in being more than just a service provider—we’re a partner committed to your success. Let’s work together to navigate this change and continue driving success for your valued brand.

Absolutely Irene. And it is is extremely likely that the USPS delivery times will slow down when shipments are pushed farther up the postal stream from the DDU's in 2025. OnTrac is ready to help with both cost reduction and faster delivery to 70% of the US market

Irene - Thanks for sharing. While PB will continue to focus on its core strengths in mailing and shipping, its exit from e-commerce serves as a cautionary tale for other traditional companies considering similar expansions. The lesson here is clear: a deep understanding of industry dynamics and the necessary infrastructure is critical for success in the highly competitive e-commerce logistics space. Companies must be prepared to either build or acquire the necessary capabilities or risk facing similar challenges.

4moI’m so confused, isn’t STORD buying the ecomm division? Won’t those customers be served by the acquirer?
