Just responding to the question post below.....

If you would decide on buying low carb products online in Germany:

*Which lc products (or type of products) would you like to see?
Stevia
Low Carb tortillas
Shiritake noodles (an asian noodle with about 3 carbs per cup.. all fiber, besides that they have no nutrition!)
I have no problem buying ANY food online, given the price is competitive and it is a quality item.

*Which lc products would you never buy online?
The ones I'd have to pay a lot in shipping for. Sometimes the shipping isn't worth it. I'd also probably never go for the fake breads and keto products, I've tried them and they don't taste good. What's the point? I'd have some delicious veggies or cheese any day.

**What services would you hope for?
Decent shipping price and time period where it reached my house.
A customer service address which actually responds to concerns
Proper receipt and possible tracking of package
Refund or replacement for damaged or spoiled goods

**Would you pay by credit card?
Yes

**Would you pay in advance?
Yes

**Within how many days would you expect to receive your goods?
Depends on how much I paid - if I chose the cheapest rate, then within 14 days. (10 work days)

**Do you have any other advice for me?
Advertise
Offer incentives.. perhaps a discount for referrals, if someone makes a first time purchase over $40 then the person who referred them gets a 5% discount, over $100 then a 25% discount...
Try to make the prices competitive.. I know it is difficult with low carb products but it's a major put off to see, for example, those delicious little "just the cheese" bites in a TINY package selling for $2.99. There is no way I'd buy it.
Orders might be bigger if other things are offered as well.. once your business grows. For example, flax seed is something I can get anywhere.. but if it's competitively priced I might as well get it while I'm ordering from your site. Other things of interest to dieters - green tea, vitamins - although I believe supplements are more regulated in Germany than the US - Maybe strips for measuring ketosis, and a variety of low carb books?
Supplements such as low carb whey protein powder and caffeine, esp for the people who work out.

**And finally: Considering the price/products/services are right, would you consider buying from me store?

Definitely.
