retailers and collaborates with some of the world’s largest e-commerce
marketplaces and platforms.
“The international e-commerce market continues to offer tremendous
growth opportunities for U.S. retailers, but it also presents many
challenges,” said Craig Reed, vice president, Global E-commerce for
Pitney Bowes. “IRCE 2013 is the perfect venue for retailers to explore
solutions that can help simplify the complexities associated with global
e-commerce and provide a convenient cross-border shopping experience to
their international buyers.”

-
Facilitated the sale of over a billion dollars of merchandise to

buyers with additional fees at the time of delivery,” added Reed.
