The idea of PacketUp came to life when Ömer Akay and Gabriel Frendberg joined forces to find a unique solution that would lower international shipping costs for small businesses.

Ömer, being the owner of a Swedish indie record label called Despotz Records, knows from personal experience that international shipping can cost a small fortune every month. So, he started looking into methods to cut these costs not only to help his own label – but other small businesses too!

The perfect solution: ship from a different location with cheaper shipping rates.

Gabriel immediately saw the potential of offering this service to ANY small business owner with a webshop. After thorough research over Europe – analyzing postage costs and infrastructure of various countries – the team came to the conclusion that Lithuania would offer the ideal location for such an operation.

And that’s how PacketUp ensures smooth sailing, or shipping, from your webshop to your customers worldwide – without breaking the bank!
