Kai Gai Solutions Launches Personal Import Site For English Speakers Living In Japan
Online, February 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Kai Gai Solutions, Inc. announced the English launch of their popular Kai Gai Shoppers personal import site. The Portland, OR based company has been providing Japanese speaking consumers with transshipment and personal shopping services since 2007.
There are over one million English speaking foreign residents living in Japan. The advent of online shopping has been a godsend for many in the expatriate community, however there are obstacles with buying from online merchants from overseas. This is where companies like Kai Gai Solutions come in. One obstacle is shipping- either the merchant does not ship to Japan or the shipping costs are exorbitant. Another issue facing consumers in Japan is that many merchants in the United States do not accept non-U.S. based credit cards.
"My main impetus for starting Kai Gai Solutions came out of my own experience living in Japan. There were things that I wanted to purchase from the U.S.-things well within the guidelines of personal import- but it could be downright complicated to actually get these things to my doorstep in Kyoto. So it's exciting to be launching this site for English speakers in Japan," said Heidi Nestler, co-founder of Kai Gai Solutions.
Kai Gai Shoppers offers different levels of service from basic freight forwarding to package consolidation to personal shopping all designed to streamline the process of buying goods from the U.S. More information can be found at: www.kaigaishoppers.com/en/
