Macy’s online site launches overseas shipping

New York City -- Macy’s announced the launch of international shipping on its e-commerce site to 91 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America. The department store retailer is partnering with FiftyOne, a provider of international e-commerce services and infrastructure to U.S. retailers.



“International shipping will enable Macy’s to build upon its existing customer base beyond the United States by exposing our product offerings abroad,” said Kent Anderson, president, macys.com. “In 2010, non-U.S.-based shoppers accounted for 36 million visits to macys.com; the prospect of satisfying the demands of this consumer is an exciting business opportunity for us.”



Macys.com began a successful pilot program for international shipping several weeks ago, with the initial launch of deliveries to Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
