It is very difficult to predict which foreign products will sell well. Projections about sales, whether in Japan or US are notoriously difficult. That is why many importers try to simulate the market response in advance, before placing a big order. Logistics cost is one of the most critical factors that bias the test marketing results.
Even after you successfully import foreign products, it will be very hard to meet the sudden rise in demand without an efficient logistics service.
According to a research conducted by an Japanese ecommerce research firm, logistics cost, customs duty, and long delivery times are the biggest reasons why customers hesitate to buy from overseas.
We provide efficiency-driven fulfillment service tailored in accordance with your purchase and sales.
We provide total fulfillment service that covers from order and payment to international delivery.
