"We are very excited to expand into Mexico, which is the second largest market for e-commerce in Latin America.

According to the Latin American E-Commerce Report, Mexico is a leader in e-commerce and has substantial potential for online retail growth, with forecasts of $11 billion in sales by 2018.
