About TriniTrolley.com
TRINI TROLLEY LIMITED is a company duly incorporated under the Companies Act 1995 of the Laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
TriniTrolley is the Caribbean's largest e-Commerce business. The company was launched in 2009 to provide residents of Trinidad & Tobago with a wide range of products that can be be purchased through an online shopping website with convenient 24 to 48 hour delivery instead of using traditional "sky box" companies for online shopping in the United States. By 2011, the company expanded to include delivery to the rest of the Caribbean and world.
Prior to the company's launch, there were no third party credit card processors operating in the Caribbean. By 2011 PayPal offered services in Trinidad and the company became one of its first subscribers. TriniTrolley would be continuously approached by international companies such as MasterCard and regional commercial banks for unique opportunities to capture the growing online market in the Caribbean.
In 2013, the CEO of TriniTrolley assisted the Caribbean Growth Forum in legislation for ePayments, and other IT related legislative frameworks as Governments recognized the emergence of e-Commerce as a new industry. In the latter half of 2013, the CEO was selected by the United States Government for the IVLP Entrepreneurship & Innovation, an initiative created by President Obama during his 2009 Cairo speech. TriniTrolley's CEO was selected based on specific leadership and innovative criteria and was one of the 28 delegates selected from around the world. In 2014, The US State Department and IVLP have both posted updates via Facebook and Twitter on our CEO & TriniTrolley's success.
