The company will also advance warehouse automation and AI innovations to further improve its industry-leading customer experience. Weee! continues to expand its Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indian, and Latin offerings for customers, adding more than 500 new products per week, and plans to expand to other ethnicities in the future.
