Maximise your sales opportunities by accessing the fast-growing EU eCommerce market
The European Union (EU) is a collection of 27 different countries, each with its own complex systems for enabling fulfilment. Zendbox has been shipping across the EU for many years. We know which carriers deliver the highest levels of service for every order, and we carefully ensure that your goods are shipped using the best solution for you and your customers.
There are roughly 450 million potential customers in the European Union (EU). A 3PL provider can store and ship all of your orders to the EU, so you can focus on reaching those millions of customers and growing your eCommerce business. Each country – from Ireland to Estonia and everywhere in between – has individual shipping regulations. Our EU fulfilment service handles all customs and duties, and arranges the most efficient carriers for each country. With EU shipping taken care of by Zendbox, it’s even easier to expand your target market.
By partnering with Zendbox, you can store your inventory in one central location and access all markets within the EU – from Germany, France and Spain, to Italy, Austria and Poland.
When shipping to the EU, there can be additional paperwork needed to clear customs. The team at Zendbox are experts in navigating this area, with all the information seamlessly passed on to our carrier partners for every order to ensure no additional work is required by you.
Due to the large order volumes that we ship daily – and our longstanding partnerships with world-class couriers – we benefit from the most competitive shipping rates. We pass these rates on to you and your customers through our smart MagicShip system to ensure the best value service for every order.
All orders sent via Zendbox are sent on a tracked service, ensuring you and your customers are kept up-to-date when orders are dispatched and, most importantly, when they will be delivered. This reduces “Where is my order?” (WISMO) queries, which means happy partners and even happier customers.
Not only do we make eCommerce fulfilment easier for brands wanting to sell into Europe, we also ensure that each and every order is optimised for speed and accuracy at each step in the fulfilment process.
If you’re new to working across international territories as an eCommerce store owner, our EU fulfilment technology sheds light on the unknown, making it easy to navigate. Even if you’re familiar with the processes but want to overcome seemingly never-ending administration associated with international order processing, Zendbox can take on the responsibility and free up your valuable time.

Many eCommerce businesses hesitate to expand internationally as a result of the complex and costly processes associated with shipping abroad, including within the European Union (EU). Not only are there customs, import duties, Valued Added Tax (VAT) and additional fees to consider, but also extended transit times, high shipping rates, and other challenges. By partnering with an EU fulfilment provider, shipping your orders to the EU and beyond becomes much simpler, straightforward and cost-effective for your online business.
With the premium eCommerce fulfilment solution from Zendbox, you can ship your orders to all 27 EU member states. These include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
In order to take responsibility for your order fulfilment, we utilise innovative technology to integrate with multiple selling channels, including Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Magento, Bigcommerce, and many more. Our in-house development team can also provide a bespoke solution that works for your eCommerce business. If you sell via Amazon, rest assured that we can ship your Amazon orders to the EU and beyond.
Shipping restrictions vary by country and may apply to items such as explosives, combustibles, firearms, and corrosives, which are subject to special controls. In the European Union (EU), restricted or prohibited goods fall into three categories: pirated or counterfeited goods, dangerous chemicals, and endangered species. Our blog offers further information on EU shipping with DDP.
At Zendbox, we can ship a variety of goods to the EU, including: health supplements and vitamins, sports apparel, clothing, cosmetics, toiletries, jewellery, pet accessories, dry food, toys, and games. Get in touch to find out how we can help your business ship orders to the EU.
