What is an interim storage facility?

An interim warehouse is a Warehouse between the country of origin and the end customer. Instead of shipping each order individually from Turkey, you send your goods in bulk to Germany. There, they are stored and shipped directly to the customer in the EU with each order. The goods have already made their way into the EU by then, and returns remain in Germany.

For merchants from Turkey, this is a proven way to sell on marketplaces and through their own online stores in Europe. FulFra specializes in the Turkey-EU trade corridor and handles transportation, customs, Warehouse , and Shipping.
