Australia Post opened a concept store that sells health and beauty products that customers ship to China.

The pilot is targeting Daigou, which are overseas personal shoppers. The market is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Business Insider visited one of these stores in Sydney, Australia, and found it was small and rather empty, but well-stocked with baby formula, baby goods, skin care items, and vitamins.

Baby formula is difficult for many Australian parents to purchase, a problem often blamed on Daigou personal shoppers who ship the products overseas.

The concept store, located in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood, doesn't provide any normal postal services like selling stamps or mailing parcels around the country. Instead, it sells health and beauty products that can only be shipped to China.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: We had millennials try Chick-fil-A for the first timeSee Also:We compared Meghan Markle's and Kate Middleton's fashion choices and the winner is clearThe Steve Jobs guide to manipulating people and getting what you wantShare your opinion Become a BI Insider todaySEE ALSO: Gap is the latest US company to apologise to China, but at the same time it's quietly protesting
