What Shopit
Shopit is part of the Trendwell Co. group of
commercial activities (www.trendwell.lu) in Luxembourg, a company
established in 1988.
We consolidate and forward grocery orders for faraway markets,
receive goods at our storage facilities, segregate and deliver.
How does Shopit work
The idea of
faraway purchases is as such nothing new. There are many
expatriate shops, local or internet based, most of which
unfortunately have either a rather limited selection of products,
exorbitant prices and/or high delivery costs. Groceries do not
export and exporting wholesalers deal only pallet wise.
Through our contacts with major wholesalers in the sourcing
countries our customers gain access to thousands and thousands of
local products in faraway markets. We consolidate our customer
orders and forward them as a bulk order to the wholesalers who
ship us the goods. Once the goods arrive at our local storage
facilities they are segregated and delivered to each customer.
This concept has been time tested and running since 2005 for
hundreds and hundreds of returning customers.
Order amounts
Products are
offered in wholesale amounts which nevertheless does not equal as big quantities: about 60% of the wholesale amounts in the
current selection consist of 10 units or less or have a total
value of less than 19 GBPs (that is more than 3 500 items of a total of 5
800 items). One wholesale amount of e.g. Patak's Korma Curry Paste
(jar) 290G is 6 units, Peter Rabbit Organics Organic Garden
Vegetable Sauce 300G come in 6 units and PG
TIPS TEABAGS (240's) come in 4 units. UK prices are quoted in GBP.
