The biggest challenge to importing goods is the costs of flying products in from China or waiting months for it to come by sea. This massive cost has been unavoidable till now but if we work together and share space in containers then we can "carpool" our products together for quicker and (way!) cheaper deliveries. This is the concept behind the new importing consolidation service called Airpool and in this episode, we explain how it works and how anyone can start importing at a fraction of the cost!

The world is shifting it's changing right now and opportunities that have never existed before are opening up but the problem is that most people aren't even recognizing it and everyone just keeps following the same old path
and where it starts gets really scary is when the younger generation is being raised in a world where these new opportunities are being taught as risky or that they’re for somebody else or they're unachievable because right now these opportunities well they're just that they're opportunities but in years to come they won't be opportunities they will be the way of life.
And we’ve already seen that the security that previous generations had from a good job, well that security no longer exists.
We see it everywhere, companies using software, robots, machines and outsourcing to replace jobs but at the same time the same technology allows you to make money, start a business or earn a living based off your passion, your knowledge and your skills and to do it without hardly any financial risk at all
I mean how many websites, blogs and apps have you seen popping up recently?
But what if the younger generation is raised to embrace that they can generate their own income off of things like YouTube, blogs, online stores?
Well, they will be ready to thrive in the new shift that is happening right now instead of being left to fight for the small amount of disappearing jobs and see everyone else taking advantage of this new shift in entrepreneurship.
And if the younger generation can thrive in these opportunities, then so can you.
This will be the way that most people make their income in the future and you really need to ask yourself, do I want to wait until everyone else is already doing it or do I want to start now?
The Africa Free Trade Agreement may not sound like the normal topic that you'll hear on my podcast but if you're selling online then this is something that you really want to pay attention to as it creates 2 massive opportunities for us. Opportunities which are going to be game-changers in the coming years.
In order to fully unpack this topic, I invited my fellow board member of the eCommerce Forum of South Africa, Mr Alastair Tempest, to do a live video in our community group. That video discussion was too good to let it vanish into the endless scrolling depths of Facebook and so we've pulled out the audio to share with you here in my podcast.
I'm excited to share more about the Africa Free Trade agreement and the opportunities it presents for you.

Managing customer returns is an unavoidable part of eCommerce and this can either be managed poorly whereby customers have bad experiences and never shop with you again or this can be proactively managed in a professional manner where the customer is left feeling supported and valued. To help achieve the latter, Craig Plowden from www.revlogs.co.za joins us to share his experience as the CEO of a service provider which specializes in helping businesses manage their returns processes.
After winning the top eCommerce award in 2015 for Customer Support I've shared how offering great customer support shouldn't just be something that you do because you must or because it feels good but rather that this should be a strategic focus of your business as it allows you to rapidly grow your sales without having to invest more money into marketing. Find out how in this episode.
South African online shoppers expect free delivery to be offered on your website for orders over a certain value. But how do you work out the right value to use?
I've seen many online stores offering free shipping at points where I'm certain they're losing money, I know because I've made that mistake myself!
So in order to work this out, you need these two metrics:
- Your average cost per delivery
- Your average gross profit percentage
Your average cost per delivery is worked out by taking your courier bill from any given month and dividing it by the number of orders you sent out through that month. Your average gross profit can be pulled from your financial records or, if you're just starting out then you can look at the gross profits on offer from your suppliers by looking at their wholesale price sheets.
To learn how to put this into practice and calculate the correct free shipping value for your site, listen to this podcast episode right to the end.
If you have any questions or feedback, hit me up in the free Insaka community on Facebook.

Online sellers often do everything right but end up with an unhappy customer because of a late or damaged delivery. It's important to know how to package the parcel correctly and how to work with the couriers to ensure deliveries which are quick and delivered in one piece.

Warrick speaks to Caleb McKellar, Partner at Barter McKellar, about CPA Law (Consumer Protection Act) in SA and how it impacts you as an eCommerce entrepreneur.
Although the CPA, the Electronic Communications Act (ECTA) and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) all contain provisions to protect online consumers, the focus of the podcast was exclusively the CPA (no doubt Warrick and I will sit down to discuss the ECTA and POPI in due course).
As discussed during the podcast, we examined the importance of the implied six month warranty provided for under the CPA. Here is the section of the CPA dealing with the implied warranty:
56 - Implied warranty of quality
(1) In any transaction or agreement pertaining to the supply of goods to a consumer there is an implied provision that the producer or importer, the distributor and the retailer each warrant that the goods comply with the requirements and standards contemplated in section 55, except to the extent that those goods have been altered contrary to the instructions, or after leaving the control, of the producer or importer, a distributor or the retailer, as the case may be.
(2) Within six months after the delivery of any goods to a consumer, the consumer may return the goods to the supplier, without penalty and at the supplier's risk and expense, if the goods fail to satisfy the requirements and standards contemplated in section 55, and the supplier must, at the direction of the consumer, either-
(a) repair or replace the failed, unsafe or defective goods; or
(b) refund to the consumer the price paid by the consumer, for the goods.
(3) If a supplier repairs any particular goods or any component of any such goods, and within three months after that repair, the failure, defect or unsafe feature has not been remedied, or a further failure, defect or unsafe feature is discovered, the supplier must-
(a) replace the goods; or
(b) refund to the consumer the price paid by the consumer for the goods.
(4) The implied warranty imposed by subsection (1), and the right to return goods set out in subsection (2), are each in addition to-
(a) any other implied warranty or condition imposed by the common law, this Act or any other public regulation; and
(b) any express warranty or condition stipulated by the producer or importer, distributor or retailer, as the case may be.
