Asendia offers a wide variety of mail and parcel services, including their e-PAQ range, which is specifically designed for e-commerce retailers sending small parcels and packets internationally.

How does e-PAQ Plus work?
e-PAQ Plus is a hybrid service, which means it uses more than one shipping company to deliver your package.
