Beyond the Mainland: why retailers and 3PL-s are turning to direct shipping to non-continental US — and why you should too

For over 20 years, International Bridge has helped businesses do what others won’t: deliver to hard-to-reach destinations — even when it’s not easy.

From the remote reaches of Alaska to the scenic coasts of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other U.S. territories, and military addresses (APO/FPO), we’ve specialized in e-commerce shipping solutions that connect shipping retailers, marketplaces, and 3PLs to customers most carriers overlook.
And we’ve made it easier than ever. Shipping to Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, and U.S. territories used to mean higher costs, extra paperwork, and longer delivery times. But with International Bridge’s direct e-commerce shipping solutions, we eliminate those barriers to entry.

Why direct shipping to non-continental USA is the growth opportunity you’re overlooking

If you’re an e-commerce brand looking to grow, reaching every customer—no matter their location—can be a smart way to scale.
Non-continental U.S. regions represent millions of potential buyers who are traditionally underserved. Many national carriers treat these destinations as an afterthought, with high fees, long delays, or unclear tracking. But at International Bridge, we see the non-continental regions differently:
Not as exceptions, but as an opportunity.
And we’ve built our network with that in mind.
