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

FAQ
What does entry cost?
Account setup: free. Afterwards you pay transparently per movement and storage space (pallet in from €3.56, storage from €12/pallet/month, pallet out from €4.50). A monthly minimum is shown in your quote.
Which goods do NOT fit the model?
Products that need assembly, special packaging or single-piece inspection, as well as dangerous goods without approval and uncleared non-EU goods. Such cases are checked manually or we refer partners.
