New Stallion DDP US Shipping Option - Only HS and COO required.
Summary: The discussion revolves around a new shipping option by Stallion DDP for US shipments, highlighting its requirements for HS (Harmonized System) and COO (Country of Origin). The thread seems to consist of a series of interactions, though the specific content of the interactions does not add details beyond the acknowledgment of this shipping update.
Saw this on another site. Stallion offering DDP via PostNL. It basically looks like the same service as CP/Zonos just without the 2 step process. No extra brokerage fees - I assume that is built into the rate.
Nice option IF you have Stallion in your area. Hello Chitchats. can they do something like this????

New U.S. DDP Option Now Live: PostNL International Packet Tracked
We've launched a new DDP shipping service to the United States, now available on the Stallion platform. This option is powered by PostNL (Netherlands Post) and built specifically for smooth, low-hassle cross-border delivery.
Like USPS DDP, all duties and taxes are prepaid, keeping things simple for your U.S. customers.
Here's what makes this service different:
Minimal Documentation: Only HS Code and Country of Origin are required. No manufacturer info needed, reducing the need for additional paperwork and registrations.
Direct Entry to the U.S.: Parcels go straight from Canada into the U.S. - they don’t route through the Netherlands.
No Brokerage Fees: The rate you see is the total postage cost plus applicable duties/taxes. There are no brokerage charges.
Flat Rates Across the U.S.: Pricing is based on shipment weight and does not change by destination, regardless of which U.S. state you ship to.
Please note: This service is based on current PostNL clearance rules. If U.S. regulations change, we'll notify you immediately.
Transit Times
Early test data over the past few weeks shows delivery times ranging from 4 to 10 business days.
Important Notes
No CUSMA Processing: If you're shipping CUSMA-eligible goods, we recommend sticking with USPS DDP to receive tariff exemptions. PostNL shipments do not clear under CUSMA guidelines.
Now Live for Ontario & Quebec: PostNL DDP is currently available for clients shipping from ON and QC. We're working on expansion to BC and AB soon.

·9 months agoCan anyone more knowledgable than me explain how PostNL (the de facto national postal carrier in the Netherlands, despite being a privatized company) is able to provide shipping labels from Canada --> USA (with nothing to do with the Netherlands) at roughly the same price as Canada Post charges for Tracked Packet?
I'm so confused how PostNL operates lol.

·9 months agoI think we'll find out when someone buys a label. Chit Chats is offering this now too.
I don't have any USA packages right now (all UK stuff), so I haven't had a chance to try purchasing a label and seeing what happens, but I won't purchase an NL Post label unless it's cheaper than using Stallion with USPS.

·9 months agoI shipped a package to the US last night and the cost for NL Post and USPS were about the same when everything was added. NL Post charged duty, but no brokerage fee, the USPS option (US Economy on this one) charged the brokerage fee, and the cost was pretty close. (Maybe some people will worry about saving cents, I am thinking that the USPS option gives the better service to the buyer... NL Post said up to 14 days for them to receive it, but with USPS my buyers receive their stuff within a week if there's no border delays).
Anyway that's what I found out on Stallion's site. I think I"ll use the NL post option when I don't have the manufacturer for an item. So far it's been pretty good that I've been selling stuff where I know who makes it... I had a few that I wasn't really sure, I took an educated guess since I knew what country it came from. (It's coins, so there's only so many mints around).
