The service will initially be for shipments from the U.S. and Canada to Japan and later expanded to include shipments from areas such as South Korea.

1. Background and Purpose of the Collaboration

With cross-bordere-commerce-wherein goods are purchased online from abroad-growing in recent years, BUYMA now has over 10.59 million members and handles over 18,000 brands. Meanwhile, issues exist including concerns over transmitting personal information to counterparties and the long period of time between purchase and receipt of packages shipped from overseas which obscures the delivery schedule.

Given these circumstances, the BUYMA YAMATO cross-bordere-commerce anonymous delivery service was launched with the aim of reproducing the safe, secure, and comfortable customer experience provided in domestic transactions in cross-bordere-commerce transactions.

2. Summary of BUYMA YAMATO

Linking each company's order and delivery data with the transportation and delivery network allows for safer, more secure, and more comfortable use of BUYMA.

Key Features of Service

  1. Personal Data Protected in Cross-BorderE-Commerce with Anonymous Shipping

The buyer and seller's names and addresses are not displayed on the shipping label, protecting each party's personal information from being revealed to the other, and allowing for more secure transactions.

  1. Enhanced Convenience of Receipt Through Linkage with "Kuroneko Members" Service Members of the "Kuroneko Members" service can avail themselves of the same services as TA-Q-BIN,YamatoTransport'sdomesticpackagedeliveryservice,forpackagesdeliveredfrom overseas. This includes receiving notification of scheduled delivery once the package has arrived in Japan and specifying or adjusting the pickup location, date, or time.
