Western\u00a0Bid is a U.S. e-commerce company<\/strong>. We purchase goods from Ukrainian manufacturers and entrepreneurs and sell them to customers in more than 100 countries. Western\u00a0Bid is the seller to the customer: we are responsible for the transaction, pay for advertising and shipping, communicate with the customer, accept returns and handle disputes. The Ukrainian companies and entrepreneurs are our product vendors, and they are paid for the goods they supply under the applicable invoices. Today more than 15,000<\/strong> Ukrainian manufacturers and entrepreneurs work with us, and we sell their products on international markets.<\/p>

The company was founded in 2001 in the USA<\/strong>. You can read the company’s story<\/a> from the first person, founder Michael Birman. In the beginning, Western\u00a0Bid sold products from Ukrainian manufacturers on eBay. Over more than twenty years of operation, this bridge has grown into a full-fledged ecosystem for international e-commerce.<\/p>

Today, we sell our vendors\u2019 products on Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Mercari, Bonanza, OfferUp, Poshmark, and Grailed<\/strong>, and provide the tools, infrastructure, and expertise needed to work in overseas markets.<\/p>

We also sell fulfillment and logistics services from our Miami facility: storage, pick-and-pack, international shipping, returns handling, inspection, repackaging, personalization and engraving.<\/p>

In 2008<\/strong>, we began working with vendors of handmade goods on Etsy, opening doors for Ukrainian artisans. In 2017<\/strong>, we launched Western\u00a0Bid Sales Academy<\/strong> \u2014 an online school teaching Ukrainian entrepreneurs to work with international markets. In 2019<\/strong>, an office was opened in Kyiv, and through partnerships with UPS, FedEx, DPD, and from 2025, with New Post, the company began shipping more than 3,000 parcels daily to over 100 countries worldwide<\/strong>.<\/p>

In 2020<\/strong>, the network grew to 19 offices across Ukraine (after the full-scale invasion in 2022, most offices temporarily ceased operations).<\/p>

In 2021, fulfillment center<\/strong> and West Parcel<\/em> shipping service were launched. In 2023<\/strong>, the Western\u00a0Bid Sellers Club<\/strong> was established \u2014 a community where Ukrainian entrepreneurs meet, share experiences, and support each other. Offline meetings have evolved and are held 3-5 times a year, not only in Kyiv<\/a>.<\/p>

Today, Western\u00a0Bid operates from an office in the USA (Miami), an office in Karlsruhe (Germany), an office in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and a network of offices in Ukraine. Over 20 years of operation, the company has processed more than 10 million shipments<\/strong>. Our mission remains unchanged: to give every Ukrainian access to international e-commerce and financial independence.<\/p>

In 2025, Western\u00a0Bid became the official logistics partner of Etsy in Ukraine.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
