New offering gives Canadian e-commerce sellers
seamless and cost-effective shipping solutions
TORONTO, May 16, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- eBay, one of the world's largest online
marketplaces, and FedEx, the world's largest express transportation
company, today announced that Canadian sellers will be able to
access FedEx shipping services directly through eBay Labels, a
proprietary label printing solution. The integration of FedEx
technology gives eBay sellers a seamless, on-platform experience to
access FedEx domestic and international shipping tools and services
– all at preferential rates.
This Canadian technology enhancement builds on the long-standing
relationship between eBay and FedEx in countries around the world
and empowers eBay sellers to harness the unprecedented demand in
e-commerce. Pre-COVID, FedEx projected the U.S. domestic market
would hit 100 million packages per day by 2026, with 96 per cent of
volume coming from e-commerce. This projection is now expected to
be hit in 2022, with a similar trend anticipated for the Canadian
market.
"Providing an exceptional selling experience to the hundreds of
thousands of Canadians that leverage our global marketplace remains
a top priority for eBay, and FedEx is key in delivering on this
experience," says Robert Bigler,
General Manager, eBay Canada.
"With this extended FedEx alliance, we're making shipping even
easier and more cost-effective for our eBay sellers, which in turn
allows them to bring the best value and service to our
marketplace."
"FedEx enjoys a strong alliance with eBay," says Lisa Lisson, President of FedEx Express Canada.
"FedEx and eBay share a commitment to helping our Canadian
customers—including thousands of small and medium businesses—expand
through innovation, growth, and e-commerce. We are excited to see
how these enhancements improve our customers' fulfillment needs so
they can continue to drive their business forward."
