More and more German companies are becoming active on the Swiss market. In addition to high purchasing power and a central location, Switzerland also offers a steadily growing e-commerce market, which makes it very attractive when it comes to expanding your sales market.
However, shipping from Germany to Switzerland also comes with a few obstacles: since Switzerland is a third country, i.e. not an EU member, no German VAT has to be paid, but customs regulations create a lot of extra work.
That’s why many companies opt for a local fulfillment partner in Switzerland. This partner then takes care of storage, packaging, shipping and returns management, as well as the corresponding documentation of all products for the Swiss market. This way, the goods are stored directly in Switzerland and shipped from here, not from Germany. What advantages does this offer you as a German company?
- Faster delivery times: A warehouse in Switzerland enables fast delivery times, unlike shipping every parcel from Germany.
- No customs problems: Customs clearance often costs time and nerves – especially when it applies to every single order. Storing your products in Switzerland largely eliminates this effort.
- Closeness to customers: A local fulfillment partner knows the Swiss market and its players. This brings you closer to your customers.
- Better returns management: Returns from Switzerland to Germany often mean a lot of effort for customers. A logistics partner in Switzerland simplifies this process.
Conclusion
A local fulfillment provider in Switzerland can therefore also support German companies in growing and handling their shipping.
