What Erge Asia Customers Say
The story of an Indonesian seller who successfully exports to Malaysia with us.
Initially, I was confused about taking care of export documents myself. Since I used Erge Asia, everything was taken care of — I just need to send the goods & receive orders. My hijab brand is now in 5 resellers in KL.
Erge Asia's rates are the most competitive I've ever tried. The tracking is also accurate — buyers in Penang know the exact position of the goods. Now, shipments to Malaysia have increased 3x.
