Fulfillment from Andorra
Andorra is a country that is very well located to serve all Europe, since it is located between France and Spain. Its inhabitants are multilingual, as they speak Spanish and Catalan, and very often French, and even Portuguese. The costs of social security are very reasonable, which favors hiring in case of fulfillment support needs in general, or in the call center.
Companies can use both postal services of France and Spain, since Andorra depends on any of them. Goods that enter Andorra must go through Customs before entering Europe, given that the Principality doesn’t belong to the European Union. Although this implies more costs in customs paperwork and transport, these expenses can be compensated greatly by the Andorran prosecutor’s office, depending on the VAT rate applied to the country of destination and the type of product, and also by the type of taxation in the Principality of Andorra.
Dropshipping in Andorra
Dropshipping is the solution to avoid costly fulfillment operations through European warehouses, or for import and export. Using the Andorran database for billing goods shipments to the customer, directly from the product located anywhere in the world, as in the traditional dropshipping model.
