Today you will not surprise anyone with the opportunity to order any product from a country located in another corner of the globe. For all of us, online shopping has become the norm: it's convenient, cheap and fast.
True, in order to really receive your order on time, we often have to contact intermediaries. This is true if you buy something from stores operating in the United States and other countries that do not carry out direct delivery to Russia.
Work of intermediaries
What are these companies, what is their task? First of all, mediation services are involved in receiving parcels in the country where the store operates. Then they pick them up at their warehouse, properly pack them and send them to the client (in Russia). This is how the classic customer service scheme looks , and, alas, it is not perfect.
There are many problems that accompany intermediaries. For example, one of them is related to the fact that purchases on the Internet can go up due to the cost of delivery. Having ordered a pair of shoes at some American resource is cheaper, you significantly overpay for sending them, which makes the entire order unprofitable.
In addition to the high price for the client, problems of the organizational plan can also be mentioned as a negative point: the intermediary company needs to collect all orders, place them and process them as soon as possible. Given the time delays, possible obstacles at customs and other details, this, again, is fraught with problems.
A new service called the “Bandler” (order picker) simplifies the process of working this entire chain. Customer reviews note that this site brings together intermediaries, which makes it possible to send parcels ordered from several services together, and this significantly reduces their cost. In fact, the service acts as a platform that cooperates with all services that deliver orders from abroad, and improves the quality of their work due to this.
Service Description
In fact, the model by which the "Bandler" (the collector of orders) operates, the reviews of which we will give later, is not revolutionary new. It was built on the simple principle of consolidating the efforts of different people who work in the same market to improve their service. In addition, here, on the company’s website, there is information about in which stores certain products are purchased, those that are most in demand are listed.
Positioned "Bandler", the collector of orders (reviews can confirm this), as a platform that helps intermediaries. The company’s page even contains information intended for those who wish to start conducting this business - to help customers place orders abroad. That is, we can say that the service can be a great start for beginners in this segment.
Even for large companies that have offices in the US and other countries, the benefits of working with the Bandler service (order picker) are obvious. How this platform works, we have already described. This is the "mixing" of the client and the intermediary, one intermediary with another, larger partner. This is where firms with their own personnel abroad can earn money - they will help others to carry out the orders of their clients. Thus, we get a “cycle of orders” within the framework of one system.
If you could have dreamed of such cooperation before, now, when Bandler appeared, a collector of orders (reviews prove this), such interaction has become more than real.
Customer acquisition, order processing
Nevertheless, the presence of the service that we are describing does not make it possible to talk about the complete absence of competition between intermediary organizations. Whether it is a private individual or a large company with a large number of personnel, in any case, they need to take care of attracting new customers, receiving regular orders and expanding the circle of stores. And this is achieved through small steps expressed in proper marketing (creating groups in social networks, advertising) and a proper approach to the client (polite treatment, clarification of all details, checking product information on store sites).
Goods, promotions and discounts
Another interesting tool that “Bandler” can please is the catalog of discounts and products that may be useful to the client. If you are just starting your business and do not properly navigate which stores are in demand among Russians ordering online in the USA, you can use the catalog of the described service. Here you will find not only the latest orders, but also the most interesting stores for the client, and even discount coupons in them. It is not worth mentioning once again that all this can be used favorably in attracting new customers.
Tariffs
For intermediaries, entry to the "Bandler" can be carried out by three tariff options. The first of them is free, designed for joint purchases of friends or just those who want to order a lot and regularly. The package is called “Standard”.
The second in the package hierarchy is the “Large” tariff. It will cost $ 23 already, and is suitable for most of those who conduct their activities in this area. Here you can take your domain for the site (made on the basis of the platform), and also exclude the link to the "Bandler" itself. The status of the customer’s order, all the information about where your packages are located, how they are combined - all this also comes in a package with this service.
The most expensive tariff is called “Mega”. It costs $ 47, and its peculiarity lies in the ability to automatically accept payments from customers, take service orders from other intermediaries, and also have a reduced price for one order (only 5 cents against $ 0.2 provided for by other options).
Help for intermediaries
If you would like to start your activity on this site, here is provided even additional information on where to start. It provides not only ready-made tools for running such a business, but also provides valuable advice on what needs to be done and in what order. Also, of course, user support is provided here - both customers and intermediaries.
By the way, the registration of the buyer is carried out on the same official website called “Bandler”. By clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the page, you choose who you would like to create your account as an intermediary or a buyer.
Customer reviews
We were not able to find recommendations from intermediaries, since there are probably not many such participants on the site. There are much more buyers here who are interested in orders. Consequently, we managed to find reviews about the service only from the client. As they show, the “Bandler” service for those who make a purchase has excellent tools to track the actions of an intermediary. For example, here you can see whether he made your order, and also has all the information about the product. That is, if you are a customer, you can also use this service to control who processes your purchase.
conclusions
As a result, we can note that “Bandler” is a universal product that has a number of advantages both for the customer making the purchase and for the intermediaries themselves. Therefore, it can be characterized on the positive side and recommend that friends make orders in the United States through this platform. In the end, it is more convenient and reliable.
