Newegg continues international expansion with the addition of its Canada Marketplace

Newegg, fresh off a strong financial finish to the 2013 calendar year, today revealed details of the company’s newly opened Canada Marketplace. Newegg Canada plays an important role in the company’s expansion plans and adding a Marketplace to this region fuels its rapid growth.

The Newegg Canada Marketplace opened for business in early January 2014, expanding Newegg’s portfolio in strategic retail categories such as apparel, appliances, jewelry, baby, home décor, consumer electronics, sporting goods, health & beauty, and more. While Newegg’s Canadian customer base is predominantly male, the Canada Marketplace offers an appealing collection of general merchandise products to entice savvy female shoppers.

“Our goal is to connect Canadian sellers with Canadian shoppers in an intuitive, easy-to-use online shopping environment,” said Soren Mills, Chief Marketing Officer for Newegg North America. “No matter where someone lives in Canada, Newegg Canada Marketplace offers numerous boutique shops and brand name products, all in one place.”

Newegg Canada Marketplace is focused on building long-term relationships with Canadian e-commerce sellers and giving them a sales channel to showcase their products. It is only available to Canadian sellers with local physical distribution and partnerships with Canadian financial institutions.

Newegg’s marketplace expertise enables Canadian businesses to greatly expand their domestic customer base. The company’s proven e-commerce infrastructure gives their products maximum exposure through various promotional vehicles and merchandising support. It uses a compelling cost structure, offering competitive commission rates without many of the surcharges imposed by other marketplaces.

Sellers taking part in Newegg’s Canada Marketplace demonstrate a standard of customer service that’s consistent with the shopping experience people have come to expect at Newegg.ca. All sellers will: respond to customer inquiries within 24 hours, ship all orders within 72 hours and offer a 30-day return period with RMAs processed within 72 hours of receipt. This ensures customers can shop with confidence knowing they can rely on Newegg's trusted reputation for quick delivery and excellent customer service.
