In Japan, ecommerce has developed these past few years to a point that even businesses selling cardboard boxes are finding opportunities to make a profit online. Previously just selling via brick and mortar, the company’s business expansion to the internet which began in 1996 is finally breaking through with 40 thousand unique visitors a day. At bestcarton.com, you will find anything from boxes for moving, storage to product delivery for individuals and major companies.

The secret to the online store is its automated quotation system. The lesson to learn here for small and medium sized online businesses is that it is not just the technology behind the system that has made the site a success. It was simply having the patience and the flexibility to accept seemingly unprofitable small orders starting from one box to gain loyal customers.
