TheCigarStore.com Expands into International eCommerce

Oct. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- The original brick & mortar store opened decades ago in Queens, New York through the efforts of a young man arriving from Puerto Rico named Pedro Castegon Capielo.  The Cigar Store has proven its success with the continuity of its business, and once again through their international expansion with Bongo.  

“The decision to ship internationally came about through consistent requests from all over the world to ship cigars and related products to potential customers. Not having the means of doing this we contacted Bongo US, and their business model fit very well with what we needed,” says Robb Capielo, Pedro Capielo’s grandson.  The partnership with Bongo opens their doors to over 220 global destinations and offers complete protection against fraud. Substantial shipping discounts as well as a user friendly shopping cart for international customers are also provided by Bongo’s Checkout Solution.

In addition the solution benefits mentioned above, there are other advantages to Bongo’s service.  “The attraction to Bongo US was the no charge to set it up and their full responsibility for overseas orders. The integration into our custom shopping cart went very smooth and the service from Bongo was very professional,” adds Mr. Capielo.  

The countries they have received the most requests from at this point include; Canada, UK, Australia, Russia, Germany, France, and numerous others.  This list is certain to increase as international eCommerce figures continue on their steady climb.  This growth is in addition to the holiday shopping boost that is also certain to arrive.  Already, September retail figures have surpassed industry estimates.  A recent article appearing on Bloomberg.com confirms, “The median forecast of 77 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.8 percent rise.  The 1.1 percent advance followed a revised 1.2 percent increase in August, the best back-to-back showing since late 2010, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington.”  

Online retailers should act now to make the most out of online holiday sales this season.  Excluding international sales is a costly oversight, especially when Bongo makes expanding globally such a smooth transition for domestic retailers.
