What PostPlus does
PostPlus is a Netherlands-based cross-border e-commerce logistics provider founded in 2019 as a joint venture between Infinite Mile OÜ (Estonia) and Chain Global B.V. (Netherlands). The company serves online retailers and e-commerce sellers needing international shipping and customs clearance, offering small packets (0-2kg), parcels (over 2kg), EMS/Premium Parcels, and printed matter delivery to 100+ countries. The operating model is a multi-carrier aggregator: PostPlus combines national postal operators, alternative regional carriers, and own logistics lines from China and the USA into Europe, anchored at Mail Terminal Amsterdam near Schiphol Airport, and presents the routing as a single API/web portal.
Core technology comprises a Track & Trace system, API and web portal integration for shipment, tariff, and tracking data, and an IOSS-compliant customs clearance module including an IOSS intermediary solution and VAT administration for non-EU sellers. Service levels are tiered (Registered, Unregistered, Tracked, Express) with differing tracking depth, insurance, and compensation. Underlying international mail products ride the UPU terminal dues system, enhanced in Europe by the Interconnect Agreement.
The revenue model is transaction-based (pay-as-you-go) per shipment across all service lines, supplemented by fees for customs clearance and value-added services (returns, warehousing and bonded fulfillment, cash on delivery, marketplace onboarding, dropshipping). Pricing is quote-based and customized, with rates negotiated across carriers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales complemented by channel partnerships with national postal operators (e.g., Lithuanian Post, Uzbekistan Post) and alternative carriers; target geographies include the Nordics, Baltics, Germany, Poland, France, the UK, and Central Asia. Headcount is 11-50, with offices in Hoofddorp, Tallinn, Miami, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Emmerich am Rhein.

PostPlus competitors and assessment
Company assessmentRegional players
- Yanwen Logistics: Yanwen is one of the largest China-origin cross-border e-commerce parcel consolidators serving small-parcket flows from China into Europe and worldwide. A regional comparitor with very similar China-to-Europe e-commerce parcel product as PostPlus, but anchored on the Asia origin side.
- SF International (SF Express International): SF International is the cross-border parcel arm of SF Express, handling China-origin e-commerce parcels to Europe and worldwide. Comparable capability on the China-to-Europe lane where PostPlus also operates its own logistics lines.
Broad incumbents
- FedEx Cross Border: FedEx Cross Border provides international cross-border e-commerce shipping solutions for online retailers, combining FedEx air networks with local last-mile partners. A broad incumbent in the same cross-border e-commerce parcel market as PostPlus.
- UPS Mail Innovations: UPS Mail Innovations (now UPS Ground Saver / UPS Cross Border) is UPS's cross-border postal injection service for low-weight e-commerce parcels, leveraging USPS final-mile delivery in the US. Directly comparable aggregator product targeting similar online retailer customers.
- Bpost International: Bpost is Belgium's national postal operator with a sizable international cross-border parcel business serving European e-commerce retailers. It is a broader incumbent than PostPlus but competes for the same European e-commerce shipper wallet.
- DHL eCommerce: DHL eCommerce is Deutsche Post DHL's dedicated cross-border and domestic e-commerce delivery arm, combining owned and partner networks to serve online retailers globally — a much larger broad incumbent competing for the same e-commerce shipper relationships as PostPlus.
Direct peers
- ePost Global: ePost Global is a US-headquartered cross-border parcel consolidator focused on B2C e-commerce parcels from Asia into North America and other destinations, combining postal injection with last-mile delivery — directly comparable in product and customer segment to PostPlus.
- International Mail GmbH (IM): International Mail GmbH is a Hamburg-based cross-border postal aggregator serving European e-commerce retailers with international packets and parcels. Sven Schwope, PostPlus's Managing Director Germany, was previously General Manager Europe there, evidencing deep product and operating-model overlap with PostPlus.
- Spring Global Mail Solutions: Spring GMS aggregates postal and commercial carrier networks to deliver international mail, small packets and parcels for e-commerce and direct mail customers, relying on the UPU framework and regional postal partnerships — a near-direct functional comparator to PostPlus.
- Asendia: Asendia is a cross-border e-commerce mail and parcel aggregator jointly owned by La Poste (France) and Swiss Post, delivering small packets and parcels worldwide using multiple postal and CEP networks — the closest functional analog to PostPlus's aggregator model for e-commerce shippers.
