Japan is an interesting consumer market, not only for the companies, but for the consumers as well. A broad array of products from all over the world, including the highly innovative Japanese electronic and digital products, can be found at competitive prices. The big weakness, however has been the physical and cultural isolation, preventing international trading. Domestic dealers, lacking the language knowledge and logistics, could not sell abroad, while the language was a big barrier for the people willing to explore Japanese online shops. International trading has long been a privilege of huge companies, resulting in higher prices and fewer choice overseas.
When our partner company, DankeDankeCom, established an international shipping service for transferring purchases domestic sellers would not send abroad, they were astonished about the many foreig customers for a service aimed mainly at Japanese. They learned that people from overseas were interested in Japanese goods and try to get them from Japan ant their own initiative, but obstacles remained: Communication, payment options and concerns about international shipping. We decided to change this. Jp-stores, a portal run by Weltnetz, is a virtual department store for Japanese goods of any kind. We are proud to present you a selected choice of partner shops already, and we are working hard at expanding it step by step. Jp-stores offers you the products you are interested in, with English description, easy payment and a reliable collected shipping service. International shipping has never been that easy!
Please give our service a try, and let us know what you think and what kind of shops you are still missing. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
