Packet Delivery via in Country/ local Post Offices

Local post offices - such as China Post, La Poste, Royal Mail, Deutsche Post and Correos - are preferred method for most e-commerce shippers sending international orders. Through the United Postal Union terminal dues structure, post offices are able to offer the lowest cost possible for small parcels.

Under UPU rules, items that are less than 2 kg benefit from low cost pricing. This category of shipment, initially reserved for letters, is often referred to as packets.

The pricing from developing countries (referred to as "transitional countries" by the UPU) is particularly attractive. There is pressure on the UPU to eliminate this category of low cost from China and other large exporters of cross border e-commerce parcels.

International Delivery by the Integrators

The world’s leading integrators - DHL, FedEx,UPS - offer well established international parcel delivery services. Their offers - and value -are well known. However, the final last mile delivery remains dominated by the USPS and establishing a direct connection gives more control with a lower final mile delivery cost.

What is Section 321?

Direct Injection is more than simply an alternative to existing parcel post and integrator options: Direct Injection challenges the existing supply chain model.
