Highland's cross-border sales grew 237% in four weeks

US haircare brand Highland already had international demand, but legacy shipping approached one-third of the order value, delivery quotes exceeded a week and duties arrived as a surprise at the door, causing demand to leak at checkout. Through Mayple, the brand launched nine zones in Shopify Markets, mapped its in-stock catalog, added duty-inclusive prices with margin-protective uplifts and served more than 30 countries through one Dubai hub without a new warehouse, ERP migration or international operations hire. The vendor case reports 237% international-sales growth in four weeks, 38% total-revenue growth, 3.5-day average delivery and roughly $15 shipping per package. The mechanism is lower checkout, tax and fulfilment friction, while net profit remains unconfirmed and depends on product margin, returns, tax, hub reliability and the comparison base.
