Why hold stock in the EU

Shipping every order from the UK is costing you.

Since Brexit, sending individual parcels from the UK to EU customers often means delays, duties and unhappy customers. Storing stock in the EU changes that.

Faster delivery

Orders ship from inside the EU, so they don’t go through customs on the way to your customer.

No surprise charges

Customers aren’t hit with unexpected duty or handling fees on delivery.

Easier returns

EU returns come back to Rotterdam instead of crossing the border.

One import, not thousands

Your stock clears customs once, in bulk, instead of order by order.

Bonded option

Store goods in bond and pay duty only when they are released.

EU-wide couriers

Fast delivery across Europe with FedEx, Spring, GLS and pallet networks.

How it works

UK to Europe, in four steps.

Ship to Rotterdam

We can move your stock from the UK to our Rotterdam warehouse.

Cleared once

Customs cleared in bulk by our group’s customs team.

Stored in the EU

Live in your client portal alongside your UK stock.

Sold locally

EU orders ship from inside the EU, and returns come back to Rotterdam.

Questions

Good to know.

What do I need to sell from the EU?

Usually an EU EORI number and a Dutch VAT number. We can arrange Limited Fiscal Representation (LFR) to help with VAT.

Do I still pay import duty?

Duty may be due when your stock is imported into the EU, but it's paid once on the bulk shipment rather than on every order. Our bonded option lets you delay it until the goods are released.

Can I keep selling to UK customers too?

Yes. Keep UK stock in Thame and EU stock in Rotterdam, and manage both in one portal.

Can you move my stock from the UK?

Yes. We can arrange freight from the UK to Rotterdam, including customs paperwork.

We completely understand this is a BIG decision.

We were in your shoes a few years ago with our food brand Snaffling Pig. We decided to move half of our orders from doing it ourselves to a third party logistics company. It was incredibly difficult to work out how much it was going to cost us, and we were worried about the service we were going to get and whether our brand and our customers would get the attention it deserved.

That's why we started this company, we know how you're feeling right now and we know we can offer you exactly what you need.

Oh, in case you're wondering, we moved back from that third party company within 3 months. We realised we were much better at it than they were.
