As of 2019, about 47 million people have shopped online from Mexico (that’s about 7 out of every 10 internet users). There’s no denying that Mexico is an excellent market to get into if you’re selling online from the United States. Because it’s so close, packages arrive much faster than shipping overseas. It’s still important to keep reliability in mind especially when shipping high-value items across the border.
Offering multiple shipping service options to your customers across the border will allow them to choose which rate best suits their needs based on their budget and time requirements – as well as personal preference. FedEx, UPS, and USPS are all options available through the PluginHive’s Shopify shipping app and WooCommerce shipping plugin which provides multiple options to your customers. Not just the integration, but your customers get automatic and easy access to live order tracking, instant shipping costs based on multiple options, and more.
