Hongkong Post today (September 26) announced the launch of Hongkong Post's EC-Ship online portal.
To promote and support the growth of e-commerce, Hongkong Post launched the new EC-Ship online portal today to provide a one-stop selling and shipping solution to online sellers. Customers are no longer required to prepare a manual address pack and customs declaration and affix stamps onto each item before posting. They can simply prepare shipping labels via this EC-Ship online portal and have the option of using four types of international mail service, namely the e-Express Service to the US, Standard Speedpost, Air Registration and Air Parcel service. All mail items prepared via the EC-Ship online portal can be posted at 26 bulk acceptance counters.
Functions of the new EC-Ship online portal include:
* Provide all-in-one shipping labels, which include posting information and customs declaration, for four types of international services;
* Provide an online credit card payment function;
* Offer features and postage comparison of four types of international services;
* Provide an electronic copy of Certificate of Posting;
* Provide an online track-and-trace service; and
* Maintain address books and posting records online.
Further information about the EC-Ship online portal can be obtained from the EC-Ship website at www.ec-ship.hk, or by calling the Hongkong Post General Enquiry Hotline 2921 2222.
