After researching in Dubai, I found online shopping here is far harder than it should be. We have strong spending power and huge demand, but three bottlenecks are holding us back:
1. Delivery costs are too high – Small parcels often cost more than the products themselves.
2. No direct access to Chinese e-commerce – Great products are hard to find, with no clear, trusted channel.
3. No easy small-value payment between UAE and China – Small orders are difficult, slow, and risky to pay for.
Dubai is the trade hub of the Middle East, and China has the world’s best supply chain. Connecting them properly is a huge opportunity for everyone.
Dear Dubai friends, let’s discuss:
- What’s your biggest pain with online shopping? Delivery fees?
- Do you want a simple, direct channel to buy from China safely?
- What kind of small-value cross-border payment solution do you really need?
Business owners, delivery workers, payment experts, and shoppers – please share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s make online shopping in Dubai easier together!
