On the issue of e commerce, yes Malaysian are way behind developed countries like USA or even s. korea but if today you do not invest in a shopping cart online, you will be so left behind when more and more people accept shopping cart online here in Malaysia

Based on experiences as a shopper online and a seller, I do not have a problem with online shopping as for shipping we use a local courier which guarantees shipment on time locally and can even track your shipment online.

I do not target overseas customers because my products are all imported from USA mostly. Not all business hope to earn big money or their sole income when they start a shopping cart online. For me personally, it is more of an advertising tool, and for distributors to update themselves with the products rather than sending them brochures which cost printing charges.

Business today changes so fast, that printing brochures or catalogues will soon be obsolete due to fast demand of customers.

Shopping cart also makes it to easier to order things from overseas. One can view the products online, make some phone calls or emails and send payment via bank transfer. One thing we need to understand, even though we send huge amount of $$ to companies in USA/India, we have no problem getting our goods. The companies have become matured enough and willing to expand their business instead of making a fast $$ cheating customers.
