Gilt Introduces Major International Expansion

The U.S. flash sale leader Gilt Groupe announced today that it is introducing shipping to over 90 countries for its men’s, women’s children’s, home, and gifts divisions.  To introduce the new feature, international shipping will be free for a limited time, after which it’ll cost $19.95.  The move exponentially expands the company’s audience, of course, while also enhancing Gilt’s luxury image — after all, by adding 90 countries to its shipping roster, the business is following in the footsteps of globally-accessible, online luxury retailers like Barneys New York and Net-A-Porter.
