MIAMI, November 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- BrandsMart USA
(http://www.BrandsMartUSA.com), one of the largest per-store-volume
retailers in the United States, is
now expanding its cross-border online shopping capability to
customers in Latin America and the
Caribbean. The service is made
possible through a strategic partnership with PuntoMio
(http://www.PuntoMio.com), the international shopping facilitator
that gives non-U.S. residents a U.S. address which they can use to
place online orders from U.S. retailers.
With this new service, consumers accessing
http://www.BrandsMartUSA.com from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru,
Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and other countries are directed
to the BrandsMart USA international website, through integration
with PuntoMio. Customers will see products displayed in local
currency and the purchase price will include transportation to
their country, duties, taxes, and delivery within 5 to 8 days of
purchase.
"We observe a large amount of Latin American and Caribbean shoppers in our stores every day.
Relying on PuntoMio's expertise to reach out to those customers in
their own country is a valuable advantage that we believe will
translate into a significant increase in online sales for us,"
stated Bobby Johnson, Executive
Vice-President of BrandsMart USA.
E-commerce in LATAM experienced a nearly 40% growth last year,
and is expected to increase another 27% in 2010, according to
AmericaEconomia Intelligence. "With this partnership we reach out
to a growing market and further extend PuntoMio's visibility among
potential customers throughout Latin
America and the Caribbean,"
said Patricia Voigt, General Manager
of PuntoMio. "We offered BrandsMart USA a truly integrated and easy
to implement platform that eliminated their challenges with
international e-Commerce. With our private delivery network we were
able to offer them much lower and more accurate costs compared to
other international checkout solutions that depend on the major
express carriers."

subscribe to the service and obtain a U.S. address for general
shopping from more than 1.7 million other online stores and
catalogues in the U.S.
