Good News - UK Ecommerce Sales On The Rise

Ecommerce sales in the United Kingdom are expected to rise 13.3% this year to US$34 billion according to a recent article in Internet Retailer magazine (click here).

This is great news for US and European online retailers and Webgistix customers who are already selling or hoping to sell into the UK market. After Canada, the United Kingdom has generally been the next step for American companies expanding internationally due language and cultural ties. The UK is also a proven gateway to serve customers in mainland Europe.

Webgistix has been serving the UK market from Belfast for the past five years. Our expansion roadmap includes opening a new facility near London.

Customers will store inventory in a local warehouse where orders will be shipped within 24 hours guaranteeing rapid delivery and providing for a simplified return process. Our new UK facility will be linked directly into SmartFill so our customers will be able to see inventory and order information, for all US and UK warehouse locations, through their SmartFill interface in real time, globally. European expansion will allow Webgistix’s US and European customers to greatly improve delivery times and while decreaing shipping costs.

We are excited that the UK market is growing rapidly and that we will soon be delivering expanded services to help our customers better serve this rapidly growing market.
