Our story
From one marketplace to seven markets
Buena Vida Trading started by supplying Amazon as a first-party vendor, one of the most demanding retail operations in the world. Meeting its standards on pricing, availability, compliance, logistics and data, year after year, shaped how we work.
Today we bring that same rigour to specialist retailers in every category we supply, department stores, hypermarkets and marketplaces across Mexico, Brazil, the rest of Latin America, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Spain. Our multilingual team works in English, Spanish and Arabic, and our network of customs agents, regulatory consultants and logistics providers lets us move fast in every market.
"Working to Amazon's standards for eight years made us ready for any retailer. Today we bring that same rigour to every brand we represent and every buyer we supply, in every market we enter."
Juan Ayala · Founder and General Manager

Eight years of tier-one retail standards on availability, compliance and delivery.
Innovation
New markets, new channels and new brands, tested quickly and scaled when they work.
Client focus
Your sell-through is our success. We measure ourselves on repeat purchase orders.
Logistics network
A worldwide network of logistics partners
More than 2 million units shipped across five continents in the past 12 months. We work with the same trusted partners at every step, from pick-up at the brand's warehouse to delivery at the retailer's distribution centre, so shipments arrive on time and clear without surprises.
5continents reached from four export hubs and our Dubai warehouse
Four export hubs
Barcelona, Rotterdam, Korea and Dubai. Each brand ships from the hub closest to it, which keeps lead times and freight costs down.
Our own warehouse in Dubai
At Dubai Cargo Village, next to Dubai International Airport, for fast delivery across the GCC and re-export to every market we serve.
Sea, air and road freight
Trusted forwarders on every lane we serve, with orders from several brands consolidated so smaller ranges travel at container economics.
Customs and final delivery
Licensed customs brokers in each destination market and deliveries booked straight into retailer and marketplace distribution centres.
