Suit retailer Jos. A. Bank Clothiers has extended its delivery of website orders to customers in over 90 countries, having signed a new distribution deal.

The company will use a third party provider, called FiftyOne Global Ecommerce, to facilitate the checkout of the orders and to export and deliver the orders to the international destinations.

“Our direct marketing sales increased 50% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are very excited about this added enhancement to our Internet channel,” said Neal Black, president and CEO of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers. “This increased functionality will further extend the Jos. A. Bank brand to a broader customer base and will allow us to capitalise on a market that we were not able to serve in the past.

“Also, the enhancement will provide an additional feature to our current customers in the US who want to deliver our products to family or friends in foreign destinations. While it is very early in the process, we are encouraged that we have already received orders from over 10 different countries,” continued Black.

Website customers are shown shipping fees, customs, tariffs and taxes when they check out, Jos. A. Bank Clothiers said in a statement.
