What is Global Bulk Economy (GBE)?

Global Bulk Economy (GBE) is an economical surface mail delivery service offered by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

Global Bulk Economy mail is carried by ocean vessels from the United States to the countries of destination. On arrival, mail is entered into the local postal system’s economy mail network for delivery.

Global Bulk Economy is worth considering in cases where speed of delivery is not important, and cost is the driving factor. GBE averages 3 – 9 weeks worldwide.
