A new freight consolidation service is set to make it
easier for Kiwi retailers and SMEs to enter export markets
and remove the need for intermediaries.
In a first for
the country, start-up business Jetkrate will offer a small
parcel, freight consolidation service which allows consumers
to purchase goods from Kiwi businesses and have them shipped
to an Auckland address - where they are repacked and sent as
one package to any offshore market.
The new service
aims to replace the daigou (personal shopper) channel which
uses personal shoppers to purchase commodities from local
retailers and ship them to customers in China as well as
