    As U.S. tariffs rise and platform competition intensifies, Hour Loop seeks to upgrade supply chain strategy through partnership with Return Helper

    Redmond, WA, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hour Loop, Inc. ("Hour Loop" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:HOUR), a leading online retailer, today announced a strategic partnership with Return Helper, aiming to address the challenges of a high-tariff era and enhance the cross-border e-commerce supply chain between Taiwan and the U.S.

    In 2025, cross-border sellers are facing unprecedented challenges.

    The U.S. has increased tariffs on imports from Taiwan and other regions while canceling de minimis tax exemptions, significantly escalating cost pressures cross-border sellers such as Hour Loop. Meanwhile, competition on platforms like Amazon has reached new heights, driving greater demands for faster logistics and enhanced supply chain transparency.

    In this new landscape, the Company believes building localized operations has become a key to sustainable growth.

    Recently, Hour Loop partnered with Return Helper, a Hong Kong-based cross-border logistics specialist, to upgrade its U.S. warehousing and supply chain operations, leveraging more efficient and flexible local services to navigate the evolving market dynamics.

    Hour Loop has long been a major player in the U.S. e-commerce sector, working with over 700 suppliers and managing a portfolio of more than 100,000 products. After successfully listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market in 2022, Hour Loop continues to scale its business and seeks higher efficiency and tighter cost control across its supply chain.

    Through this collaboration, Return Helper will provide Hour Loop with an end-to-end solution in the U.S. market, covering parcel receiving, compliance inspection, repackaging, and rapid FBA fulfillment.

    This streamlined operation is expected to not only help mitigate inventory pressure caused by tariff adjustments, but to also significantly shorten time-to-market, enhance supply chain visibility, and enable Hour Loop to better control sales rhythms—ultimately boosting its Amazon platform performance.

    Return Helper operates a global logistics network across the U.S., Europe, and 15 countries in Asia, fully integrated with major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Shopify. With a focus on supply chain optimization, inventory revalorization (ReCommerce), and smart warehousing solutions, Return Helper helps cross-border brands reduce operational costs, improve inventory turnover, and maximize asset value.
