STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE
Keep Your Carrier Relationships. Add Global Power.
You don’t lose your carrier leverage with Openborder. You use your own DHL/Asendia and more relationships internationally not Global-e’s marked-up rates.
Use Your Existing Carriers
Based on domestic volume, negotiate the international rates.
No forced DHL relationship (though DHL is an option)
Multi-carrier flexibility: Asendia, DHL, Regional carriers
Choose best carrier by market, product type, or season
OpenBorder Handles the Complex Part
We localize price and currency, and tune merchandising (e.g., bestseller modules) for each market.
Real-time duty & tax calculation
Landed cost displayed at checkout
Customs documentation automation
Returns processing & tracking
Why This Matters for SKIMS
Your products require careful handling - use carriers you trust
Premium brand deserves premium delivery experience
Global-E forces you into their carrier network
You maintain control while we handle complexity
Leverage Your Carrier Discounts -> Remove the middleman. Get better results.
Right now, your international shipping economics look like this:
DHL
Global-e
SKIMS
Customer
Global-e buys rates from carriers, marks them up, and then sells them to you as part of their service.
With Openborder, you go direct:
DHL / UPS / others
SKIMS
Customer
Openborder handles the tax, duty, and checkout layer not the shipping margin.
This drives lower shipping costs in three ways:
Best carrier by market
Leverage your own discounts
No middleman on shipping margins

CRITICAL GAP #1
You're Missing Amazon UK Entirely
~504K monthly UK visitors to your site. Zero presence on UK's #1 shopping platform.
£0
Current Amazon UK Revenue
$2M-4M
Estimated Annual Opportunity
Why Amazon UK Matters for SKIMS
Discovery: UK shoppers search on Amazon first, then visit brand sites
Trust: Amazon's return policy reduces purchase hesitation for intimates
Prime: UK Prime members have high purchase intent and average order values
Market Entry: Easiest way to expand into new EU markets (Germany, France, Italy via EFN)

Your Competitor Is Already There
Spanx is selling on Amazon UK right now. They're capturing UK customers who search for shapewear, intimates, and compression garments - your core categories. Every day you're not on Amazon UK is a day they're winning customers you should have.
The OpenBorder Advantage:
Global-E doesn't support marketplace fulfillment. OpenBorder does. We'll handle inventory management, FBA prep, and multi-channel fulfillment so your DTC and marketplace channels work together seamlessly.
Launch Amazon UK as a Standalone Channel
We handle logistics, compliance, returns, and cross-border setup so SKIMS can unlock Amazon UK without touching your existing store.
COST TRANSPARENCY
The Hidden Costs You're Paying Global-E
Beyond shipping, there are platform fees and FX markups that add up to hundreds of thousands annually
Global-E: Hidden Complexity
❌ ︎ Hidden FX Fees
Markup on currency conversion that's not disclosed upfront - typically 1-3% on every transaction
❌︎ Non-Transparent Monthly Billing
Complex invoices making it difficult to track actual costs per market or per order
❌︎ Platform Fees: 4-6.5% of GMV
Percentage-based fees that scale with your growth, eating into margins
❌︎ Bundled Pricing
Can't separate shipping costs from platform costs - makes optimization impossible
OpenBorder: Complete Transparency
✓︎ Transparent FX Rates
Exact currency conversion rates shown upfront - no hidden markups, mid-market rates
✓︎ Detailed Order-Level Reporting
See exact costs per order, per market, per SKU in real-time dashboard
✓︎ Competitive Platform Fees
Lower percentage of GMV with volume discounts as you scale
✓︎ Separate Line Items
Clear breakdown: shipping, platform fees, payments - optimize each independently
Bottom line
For a brand doing millions in international revenue, these hidden costs add up to $500K-$800K+ annually. We'll show you exactly where your money is going.
Platform fee savings + FX transparency = $500K-$800K annually
CRITICAL GAP #2
5.4M TikTok Followers, But Not on TikTok Shop Yet
Your massive social audience is ready to buy - but you're missing the fastest-growing sales channel
Your TikTok Presence
5.4M followers
Massive engaged audience, untapped revenue stream
The TikTok Shop Opportunity
You're not on TikTok Shop UK yet - but your competitors are
Seamless fulfillment through OpenBorder infrastructure
Live shopping features perfect for fashion/intimates
Estimated Additional Revenue: $1.5M-$3M annually from TikTok Shop UK marketplace.
Why act now:
Early movers on TikTok Shop are seeing 20-30% of their social followers convert to customers. You have 5.4M followers ready to buy, but you're not capturing this revenue yet. Global-E doesn't support marketplace fulfillment. OpenBorder does.
