Dear Dr. Ecommerce,

We are trying to establish e-commerce between Portugal and the USA. Our problem is e-distribution! In order to have a productive service to the client, we think we should have a distribution base in the USA. Can you give us advise on this? Do you know about companies in the USA (warehouse services, etc.) which would take care of the distribution of our products (porcelain)? Any other ideas? Waiting for your reply,

Mrs. M

Dear Mrs. M

You are not alone. A lot of American e-businesses have the same problem. As a result, e-distribution service is a booming business in America and elsewhere. The best thing to do is to shop around. There are a number of ways you can do this. One is via the search engines. Another is to join an American oriented e-business discussion forum (such as I-Sales http://www.audettemedia.com/lists/isales/summary.html) and ask your question there.

Good luck,

Dr. Ecommerce
