From the Netherlands to Germany — the buffer in the East
For Dutch traders ImportPrep is the stock buffer in the German East: the drive from the Netherlands is short, but Berlin, Eastern Germany and Poland traffic are far from there — a buffer near Berlin brings your delivery time to the region to 24 hours and relieves your own warehouse.

FAQ
Is a buffer worth it despite the short NL-DE distance?
Yes, as soon as Eastern Germany, Berlin or Amazon slots become relevant: the buffer shortens the last mile by 1–2 days and makes replenishment plannable — at pallet costs from €14.50/month.
Do you accept mixed pallets?
Yes — we sort by SKU or recipient; simple sorting is part of the model, complex jobs are quoted transparently as extra.
