CUSTOMERS

Anyone who is taking advantage of globalization and favorable currency exchange rates is a potential customer of BONVU.COM.  Through the internet, individuals and businesses have access to vast sources of products and services throughout the entire world.  BONVU services help with all aspects of global shopping.

Who are our customers, what do they buy and how does BONVU help?

Private individuals
These BONVU customers purchase from all types of online sources such as large online stores, small boutique stores as well as from individuals via EBAY, AMAZON or CRAIGSLIST. Some of the most common items are designer / name brand clothing, shoes, auto and motorcycle parts, electronics and computer, sports equipment, musical instruments, beauty products, perfume, collectibles, etc.

BONVU services are especially valuable when:
- the seller doesn’t ship overseas
- the seller doesn’t accept foreign credit cards or other forms of payment
- the seller’s shipping method is too expensive
- the seller is not familiar with international trade or customs documentation
- seller’s packaging is oversized, BONVU repackaging reduces shipping cost substantially
- they want to be sure that the items are packaged safely
- they want to make sure that the items are insured properly

Through the BONVU.COM website, customers provide item details (description, value) through an online interface. These details become part of the customs and import documentation which is the basis for import duty and tax calculation.

Small and mid-size businesses
These BONVU customers purchase items in the US that they cannot find available in their country or because of a significant price advantage. Typical purchase volumes exceed what an individual would buy but are still too small to justify large scale import via an ocean freight container. They purchase items such as auto and motorcycle parts, sports equipment & paraphernalia, an unlimited variety of consumer products, etc.

BONVU services are especially helpful to them when:
- the seller doesn’t ship overseas
- they want to consolidate several shipments into one outgoing shipment to save shipping costs
- they want to repackage the items to reduce shipping costs
- they want to make sure that the items are insured properly
- they want to describe the items and declare their value for customs
- they want BONVU to act as their “agent” in the US to make purchases, negotiate pricing and terms for large volume sales or to help with any other logistical challenges (item storage, freight, etc.)

Ebay buyers
These BONVU customers bid on items via ebay.com or similar auction sites in the USA due to a reduced price or because the items are simply not available in their own country or region. Common items include all kinds of used and pre-owned items, toys, electronics and computers, automotive parts, antiques, collectibles, etc.

BONVU services are especially helpful to them when:
- the shipping options are limited by the seller
- the seller doesn’t ship overseas
- the seller is unfamiliar with customs documentation
- the seller doesn’t accept foreign forms of payment
- they would like to get independent item inspection prior to overseas shipment
- they want to be sure that the items are packaged safely and insured
- they want to describe the items and declare their value for customs
- they want to combine several shipments from different ebay sellers into one international shipment to save shipping costs
