Enter the German market — without operating your own warehouse
Germany is Europe's largest e-commerce market — and you don't need your own warehouse for it: send your pallets or cartons to ImportPrep. We receive, store, prepare, label and forward your stock within Germany — to Amazon, distributors, shops or your fulfilment.

What Germany entry typically fails at
- Delivery time: German customers expect 1–2 days — your home warehouse achieves 3–7
- Fixed costs: Own German warehouse + staff only pays from large volume
- Amazon.de: replenishment and delivery slots need a point in the country
- B2B: German trade customers preferably order from German warehouse
- Returns: without German collection point returns eat the margin
