Selling to customers in Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico?
Those orders don't have to be the ones that slow your team down.

International Bridge is now a carrier inside , so eligible non-continental orders route straight to IB Non-Con from the workflow you already use.
That means 2-5 business day delivery, approximately 30% savings versus standard carrier rates, and tracking the whole way.

Every origin story has a beginning.
Ours starts with Japan, vintage Levi's, and a suitcase or two.

Long before International Bridge existed, our founder turned a fascination with Japan into a trade in vintage American denim. That grew into a business connecting US sellers with Japanese collectors, and eventually into the challenge that still drives us: moving packages reliably between people and markets, while building connections through trust.

We've refreshed the story of how IB began. Take a look:

Shipping to Puerto Rico is domestic, but a lot of online checkouts still treat it like an overseas order.
That means extra cost, checkout headaches, and lost sales.
Three things worth checking before you ship: that your platform classifies Puerto Rico as domestic, that your address tool reads the local format, and that checkout shows a real 2-5 business day rate.
The full guide walks through all three. Give it a read:

📦 Shipping beyond the mainland doesn't have to mean higher costs or inconsistent delivery.

Many 3PLs already have a strong mainland strategy, but non-continental destinations like Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and APO/FPO addresses often require a different approach.

In our latest blog, we look at how 3PLs can:
✔ Reach more customers across the U.S.
✔ Improve delivery consistency
✔ Reduce non-continental shipping costs
✔ Keep operations simple with integrated workflows

If these markets are part of your customers' growth plans, this guide shares practical insights to help you serve them more effectively.
