About International Package Shipping
As seen in the POS Terminal above, IPS is the low-cost provider shipping packages to Europe and Asia at a fraction of the cost of FedEx, UPS, and DHL (“The Big Three”).
IPS was founded in 2017 by merging three 35+year-old consumer-to-consumer goods shippers. The company is owned by management and Private Equity investor, Ernest Jacquet, who Co-founded Parthenon Capital based on his personal track record returning more than 4x cash-on-cash to LP’s. Mr. Jacquet focuses on small companies and was an Early-Stage personal investor in KEURIG COFFEE.
IPS is a qualified SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) under Title 13-part 125 Subpart B of the Code of Federal Regulations. IPS intends to pursue government contracts to provide shipping services to the US military, including those stationed in Eastern Europe.
The company now ships large items to 46 countries including recent expansion into Asia. IPS also ships small packages (less than 66 pounds) to 181 countries from four warehouses on the East Coast, West Coast and Florida.
IPS is expanding the number of its Authorized Shipping Outlets (ASO) from 280 to 3,780 ASOs.
IPS has also negotiated a very aggressive UPS pick-up rate to collect packages at the consumer’s homes throughout the U.S. using our E-commerce door-to-door capabilities (www.internationalpackageshipping.com).
In addition, IPS has negotiated with one of The Big Three to provide IPS EXPRESS MAIL ENVELOPES (legal documents) service to Law Firms, Accounting Firms and Corporations for a flat rate of $49 versus $73+ per EXPRESS MAIL ENVELOPE typically paid by small firms to the Big Three.
Mr. Jacquet discussed:
- IPS as the largest consumer-to-consumer deferred package shipping company in the U.S.
- IPS as the door-to-door ocean freight provider shipping to Europe and Asia at a fraction of the cost of The Big Three
- IPS as the Market Leader of Consumer-to-Consumer deferred package shipping to Eastern Europe
- Room for increasing price underneath the pricing umbrella of The Big Three once established
- Increased demand that, in conjunction with 5-Year Growth Initiatives, requires $5 million of capital to accommodate increased sales
- Use of recapitalization to fund marketing and infrastructure (warehouses, trucks, etc.)
- Exit strategy and sale of IPS to strategic partner after 2-3 years
- IPS has been in business for 5 years (merging three 35-year-old businesses in 2017) shipping primarily to Poland and 31 Eastern European countries
- IPS now ships to 46 European countries and Asia
