Popis: A feature of e-commerce is worldwide coverage. Almost any person or company can be a customer of an online shop. However, this common availability is in practice quite apparent. Despite the dynamic development of e-commerce, communication in other languages, the form of payment, currency, legal and tax conditions, as well as the delivery of products remain barriers to the free cross-border flow. This paper focuses on China. The lack of delivery of goods to a distant place or a relatively long time and high cost of providing the purchased product hinders further development of e-commerce. This problem can be solved by introducing an intermediary that consolidates shipments from many retailers and delivers them to many clients scattered in different corners of the world.
