The “closest” destination isn’t the cheapest

Have you ever decided not to ship to the United States or Europe because you thought it would cost a fortune? And assumed Mexico or Central America would be cheaper because they’re “closer”?

We have to confess something: the map is playing tricks on you.

Why isn’t the closest destination always the cheapest?

In international shipping, distance doesn’t set the price. What sets it is how prepared the destination country’s customs is to receive your product.

More accessible than you think

United States, Canada and Europe

Customs processes that are more organized for international trade. Fewer restrictions and more competitive rates.

Pricier than it looks

Mexico and other countries in the region

Stricter controls and operating costs that often make shipping more expensive.

What this means for your business

That market you thought was out of reach could be more accessible than you imagined. And the one you took for granted, more expensive. Before you rule out a destination, get a quote for both and compare.
