The system ETrak uses is designed to enhance the efficiency of any e-commerce shipping operation, streamlining the process so that your business is saved both time and money. This is primarily achieved through the practice of route optimisation, ensuring that your products are delivered to their destination in the fastest time possible. In turn, you will find reduced transit times and shipping costs for your business, and you will be able to offer your customers the quickest delivery available, at a series of more competitive rates.

Every parcel which makes its way through the ETrak system passes through several stages in a “lifecycle”:

Customer Collection

The service will collect the items you wish to have shipped.

TDG Hub/ETrak Process Centre

Your items will be taken to one of our locations, where they will be processed and packaged.

Routed to International Partners

Your parcels will be handed to a trusted courier for your intended destination.

Arrived in Country

The items will arrive safely and securely in the country you have designated.

Out for Tracked Delivery

All the parcels you have arranged to be delivered will be taken to their intended destination, with a state-of-the-art tracking service in place to ensure that all goods can be monitored on their journey.

When looking into the logistics of selling your goods internationally there are two options, DDP and DDU. The country you’re shipping to may impose duty or tax on your shipment, depending on factors such as origin, e country of origin, retail value of an order, the reason for export and shipping destination. Every country has its own set of rules, regulations, and taxes for importing, and it’s important to know your options if you’re looking to spread your sales net far and wide.

These duties and other charges can be paid by either the sender (you, the seller) or the receiver of the shipment (your customer). Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) play key roles in global commerce.
