Rarewaves

Since 2005 Rarewaves has taken a global approach, bringing UK products to entertainment lovers around the world. Rarewaves began on eBay but has quickly scaled to over 27 ecommerce marketplaces around the world, including Amazon, eBay, OnBuy, Fnac, Kaufland, and Walmart. Across these platforms over 600 million consumers around the world see a Rarewaves product every week.  Rarewaves frequently ranks as the number one British seller on Amazon in the US, Germany, France, and Japan.

Rarewaves Group also includes Rarewaves USA, a separate LLC based in Florida, USA which launched in 2011. Plans are also underway to launch our newest business, Rarewaves GMBH, in 2022.

As well as online marketplaces, Rarewaves launched their own website in 2019 which now has 2 million unique visitors annually.

In the last twelve months Rarewaves has sold over a million units of CD & Vinyl albums; over half a million units of films and television shows, nearly half a million books, and hundreds of thousands of units of items across a diverse range of ancillary categories from office products and stationary to costumes and board games to happy customers around the world.

Rarewaves’ vision is to become a global retail brand, and the first UK based global entertainment retail brand in the world. Built upon having the widest possible content offer. A dedication to delivering best in class customer service in local language. While maximising our marketplace relationships and growing our direct website business.
