Providing reliable, affordable international shipping and package forwarding service for over 30 years!
OPAS Founder and President, Toshiyasu Abe, started his company in 1990 with the idea to make the process of purchasing products from the U.S. much easier for potential buyers in Japan. At that time, international commerce was a much more harder for an individual consumer. There were few options for personal import, and most did not need or want to buy bulk quantities of items and ship them by slow-moving ocean freight.
Additionally, because the Internet was nowhere near as advanced as it is today, most consumers in countries outside the U.S. had very few resources to even determine what sort of products they could order and how to make these purchases – everything was mail order, a laboriously slow process compared to the point-and-click online shopping of today.
So with a big stack of catalogs, a fax machine, and a lot of hard work, Toshiyasu Abe built a company that helps Japanese customers to buy from the U.S. In time, the business expanded to serve most countries around the world.
Kaizen and package forwarding
OPAS is still an innovator in the international package forwarding. With Japanese business principle of Kaizen (constant improvement by a cycle of planning, execution and review), Mr. Abe continues to lead his company in providing the best possible service for international members.
