BEIJING, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Dhgate.com, a leading China-based
wholesale marketplace that enables global online transactions, has become the
first wholesale ecommerce collaboration for shipping giant, UPS (NYSE: UPS) in
China. The companies have announced that the UPS suite of integrated shipping
tools is now available to users of DHgate.com. Through this relationship,
DHgate.com customers will benefit from direct control of shipping options to
manage their businesses via the DHgate.com platform.
The integration of UPS Online Tools with the DHgate transaction system
allows users to calculate costs, request a shipment pick-up, track shipments
and review transit times for international shipments at all points of the
transaction.
'DHgate.com is the only online wholesale e-commerce platform in China to
integrate with the comprehensive suite of UPS OnLine Tools. This integration
offers unique benefits for our customers in terms of cost savings, reliability
and convenience,' said Diane Wang, Founder and CEO of DHgate.com, 'With the
support of UPS technology and service, we are reinforcing our commitment to
our customers by streamlining and greatly improving the shipping capabilities
available to both buyers and sellers.'
Both buyers and sellers on DHgate will benefit from significant savings
since UPS technology could eliminate the need for extra man hours necessary to
make calls, process calculations and file documents. In addition, UPS Online
Tools may help reduce the seller's customer service costs by reducing or
eliminating the need for customers to call and inquire about the status of
their orders since customers can track the progress of their shipments online.
With unique UPS Signature Tracking, sellers are notified online of
valuable Proof of Receipt information such as a digitized signature and
delivery address, and can trigger cash payment immediately instead of waiting
for manual proof.
'DHgate.com's founding belief is that the future of e-commerce lies with
small and micro businesses around the world.
