I like this platform as I am also an online shopper. And maybe getting branded items at a much cheaper price because it's second-hand already. But what I'm wondering is the shipping fee. Sometimes the shipping fee incurs higher cost than the cost of the item itself. Even purchasing in ali express, alibaba, amazon, etc. has really high shipping fee that sometimes you will end up buying the goods locally. So what are your suggestions on this or you have the solution for this problem already?
Hi, appreciate the interest, and that is a great question. We are in talks with some affiliate shipping partners similar to DHL and FEDEX who will offer flat rate shipping fees, and competitive prices for users who wish to ship via FairNinja. So we will deff. try to provide that service as a bonus.
Getting shipping partners might still be expensive depending on what items are to be sold. Shipping, in general is expensive. Going global is a great idea but for shipping, it would be great if there is like a regional settings so that the cheapest shipping would be offered first. Shipping via FairNinja would be a great service that compliments the projects. And going globally, there might be laws related to that that you should look into.
That is the problem when you purchase goods internationally. Shipping fees really cost a lot because of custom dues and taxes. Since this is an global online shop, maybe FairNinja will have sellers in each every country. I am just curious, does FairNinja platform is open for inidividual sellers?
