In comparing let's say Target, Walmart, etc, they have built an online presence with their online stores way back before 15-20 years ago...buying things online is common overseas but not locally, so even local retailers set up their online stores now may seem a little too late having to catch up with other online competition (ie: lazada, taobao, shopee) where they offer almost anything online.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. - Groucho Marx (1890-1977)
