Dublin, Ireland—January 18, 2021— ESW (formerly eShopWorld), the world’s leading global direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecommerce company, today announced a partnership with Asendia USA, a division of its parent company, Asendia, to provide expedited 3-5 day shipping options to ESW’s brand partners expanding globally. Asendia USA’s recently launched service, called e-PAQ Elite, will be accessible to US retailers working with ESW. The entire suite of e-PAQ solutions offers retailers a choice of trusted delivery options at checkout, boosting conversions and customer satisfaction. In Europe, e-PAQ Elite is powered by DPD Group, Europe’s largest parcel delivery network through which Asendia provides retailers a high-quality, sustainable delivery service based on a fast and fully tracked solution.

The partnership strengthens ESW’s ability to deliver an exceptional international ecommerce experience that feels familiar and local to consumers and that drives conversion for brands.

Our relationship with Asendia USA provides us with direct access to their e-PAQ solutions which alleviate all of those questions, both for the retailers and consumers, by empowering ESW clients with the most technologically-advanced sustainable shipping, tracking, and delivery options in the industry today.”
