Cambodia Post to launch online shopping platform

State-owned Cambodia Post will launch an online shopping platform in March in a move to tap the current rise in e-commerce activity. According to Ork Bora, director-general of Cambodia Post, the state-owned enterprise has been conducting a study on e-commerce for about a year, and decided to launch a platform that would allow all business owners to sell their products with the postal service. He said Cambodia Post, which has a nationwide delivery and transport service, already serves as an agent for China’s biggest online shopping company Alibaba and for the past four months has been delivering products ordered via Alibaba to customers in Cambodia. He added that there were many options for customers to complete their transactions including paying online, through mobile money transfer service or by giving money directly to postal service staff.
