In Bangladesh, numerous people work for the IT sector as there is a huge financial benefit in working online - for both individuals and the country's overall economy - compared to local opportunities. However, it remains difficult to get international products if someone wants to buy products from Amazon, Alibaba and other e-commerce companies and hence Bangladesh's postal division should adopt a strategy to collaborate with global e-commerce giants like Alibaba and Amazon to deliver products countrywide. Recently, a pilot project has been launched at 20 post offices in Dhaka to establish partnerships with domestic and international e-commerce companies. Such initiatives can help Dhaka's online buyers to receive their products directly from e-commerce sites. Using such hi-tech services can ensure the delivery of products to people living anywhere in Bangladesh. Luckily, government has planned to expand online payment services to the remote countryside.
