We started buying from a US based supplier (not the one I wrote about recently). They have unique products, nothing like them in Australia.
Their first order has just arrived. Yesterday, they asked if we ship as they have someone in NSW interest in a product of theirs we have just received. It was an easy sale.
Now, overnight, we have received 2 more similar leads.
While they could shop to Australia, and Aussies would pay shipping for their unique products, their choice is to support retailers who purchase through them and pass on leads.
It’s terrific seeing a supplier support its retail partners in this way.
