Australian supermarkets are considering dedicating a register for daigou shoppers that would let them order unlimited amounts of baby formula online. The move comes after the government announced it was launching an inquiry into whether there is any way to regulate online sales and marketing practices in Australia. Retailers have imposed limits on purchases to try to ensure there is available stock for locals, however, creative daigou are able to breach the limits. “So I think if we provide an alternative path to doing that there’d be a lot of people opt-in.” The dedicated register is intended to prevent in-store issues while allowing manufacturers to better understand demand for the product.
