Activity Description: DeCompras.com, a Monterrey, Mexico-based company, is implementing a cross-border e-commerce venture. The service will allow Mexican workers living in the United States to purchase products on the Internet, which will then be delivered directly by Mexican companies to their families living in Mexico. In order to overcome low penetration of computers, Internet, and credit cards among recent Mexican immigrants, the venture is a hybrid between Internet and printed catalog sales. Catalogs are placed at money transfer agencies, where clients may leaf through the catalogs, pay for items through the agency, which in turn places orders on DeCompras's Web site.
