STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#commerce–Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides
innovative products and solutions to power commerce, announced today
that it is collaborating with several new retailers and brands to help
them expand their global online reach to international consumers around
the world. International consumers can enjoy the same easy online
shopping experience with Evolue, Kathy Kuo Home, The Land of Nod, The
New York Times Store and Soludos as U.S. consumers through the Pitney
Bowes Borderfree solution. The technology and cross-border shipping
services enable global shoppers to simply and conveniently buy items
online in over 70 currencies from more than 220 countries and
territories.

”When we opened our doors six years ago, our goal was to become both a
nationally and internationally recognized brand,” says Jean Seo, CEO and
Founder of Evolue. “The amazing team at Pitney Bowes provides a
straightforward and functional solution to the challenging world of
international ecommerce. We’re thrilled to partner with them so that we
can create experiences for our customers that make them feel beautiful
no matter where they are.”

“It’s our mission to provide customers access to the best and most
beautiful furniture and home décor,” says Kathy Kuo, CEO and Founder of
Kathy Kuo Home. “We’re excited to partner with Pitney Bowes to carry
that mission beyond the US and help our global customers design the home
of their dreams.”

“Soludos was founded in New York City, however, our inspiration
originates from the traditional rope soled espadrilles of Spain,” says
Nick Brown, CEO and Founder of Soludos. We’re inspired by the so many
corners of the world and it’s important for us to ship to our customers
across the globe.”

When global consumers visit the online sites of these brands and
retailers, they will now be able to shop and receive localized
marketing, currency and order totals – including international shipping
fees, customs, tariffs and taxes – so they have a shopping experience
that feels familiar to their local market. Order totals are guaranteed
by Pitney Bowes at the time of checkout, eliminating any unforeseen
changes to shipping and importation costs so there are never any
surprises for buyers when items are delivered.

“We are continuing to see growing demand from online shoppers around the
world to buy a variety of products from U.S. retailers that they can’t
access in their own markets,” said Lila Snyder, Executive Vice President
and President, Global Ecommerce, Pitney Bowes. “We are delighted to be
collaborating with Evolue, Kathy Kuo Home, The Land of Nod, the New York
Times Store and Soludos to help them expand globally and provide a
seamless shopping experience for consumers.”

Soludos
was founded by Nick Brown in New York City in 2010. Nick was unable to
find the traditional rope soled espadrilles he had grown up wearing on
holiday along the Spanish Coast. Combining the clink of a glass ‘salud’
and the heat of the sun ‘sol’, Soludos was born. Shaped by five
centuries of tradition, Soludos are the perfect shoe for the beach, the
city and everywhere in between.
