If you searched for fulfilment services in Denmark, one clarification first: Efulfilment Europe does not ship from a Danish warehouse. It dispatches from Almere in the Netherlands. For a Danish webshop looking at ecommerce fulfilment, that is a feature rather than a gap, because the question is not where to store stock for Denmark. It is where to store stock for everyone else. Why a Danish brand looks at a Dutch hub Denmark sits inside the EU customs union, so a Danish brand has no customs barrier to remove. That separates Denmark from Norway and changes the argument. For Danish brands the case for a Dutch hub is distance, carrier access and returns. Distance. A parcel from Denmark to Germany, the Benelux or northern France crosses a border by road before it reaches a local network. From the Netherlands it starts inside that corridor. Carrier access. Stock in Almere ships through 75+ carrier options, with the carrier chosen per shipment, including local operators in each destination market. Returns. A return from a German customer to a Danish address is a cross-border leg you pay for and wait for. An EU returns address shortens it and puts sellable stock back on sale sooner. What stays in Denmark Not every order should move. For Danish customers a Danish stock location is usually the better fit, because delivery is local and so are the customer’s expectations. PostNord’s spring 2025 e-commerce survey found that 45% of Danish consumers prefer delivery to a service point, and a domestic setup is built around that. A Dutch hub does not replace your Danish operation. It takes the orders that cross a border and leaves the ones that do not. The structure most Danish brands settle on is hybrid: the home market from Denmark, EU volume from a hub. We cover the wider version in our guide for Scandinavian brands, and the Nordic overview in fulfilment between Scandinavia and the EU. What changes for VAT Denmark’s standard VAT rate is 25%. Selling to consumers in other EU countries is normally reported through OSS, which replaces registering in every country with one return. Holding stock in the Netherlands adds a Dutch VAT registration. Registration and filings stay with you or your tax adviser, not with the fulfilment provider, so confirm the setup with an adviser before the first stock transfer. While you ship direct from Danish stock, OSS alone covers cross-border B2C sales; the Dutch registration arrives with the stock. What moving EU stock involves Split your orders by country. Take the last twelve months and see how much leaves Denmark for Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Plan the inbound. Getting stock to Almere is normally yours to arrange, unless the agreement says otherwise. Register for Dutch VAT with your adviser. It is usually the longest item, longer than anything the warehouse does. Connect your webshop. Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, OpenCart, Amazon and Bol.com connect with real-time stock sync, so stock is the same in every channel. Write down your returns rules. The warehouse carries them out but does not write them. When it does not make sense yet Below a few hundred EU orders a month, setup costs can outweigh the per-parcel saving, and shipping direct from Denmark under OSS is often the sensible first step. A fulfilment company in the Netherlands pays off when EU volume is steady and concentrated in a few countries. Model it against your own numbers rather than assuming it pays from the first order. Frequently asked questions Does Efulfilment Europe have a warehouse in Denmark? No. Efulfilment Europe dispatches from Almere in the Netherlands. For Danish domestic orders a Danish stock location is usually the better fit; the Dutch hub is for orders to the rest of the EU. Do Danish brands need customs clearance to ship to Germany or France? No. Denmark is inside the EU customs union, so orders between Denmark and other member states are not customs imports. Customs applies on lanes crossing the EU border, such as Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Do I need a Dutch VAT registration if I hold stock in the Netherlands? Yes. Local VAT registration is required in any country where you hold stock. OSS can then cover B2C sales to other EU member states through one return. Confirm the setup with a tax adviser. Can I keep my Danish warehouse and use a Dutch hub? Yes, and it is the most common structure. The home market ships from Denmark and EU orders ship from Almere, as long as stock allocation and inventory data stay synchronised across both. Is a Dutch hub worth it for a few hundred EU orders a month? Often not yet. At low EU volumes the fixed setup cost can outweigh the per-parcel saving, and shipping direct from Denmark under OSS is usually the better first step. What does e-fulfilment for a Danish webshop include? Storage, picking and packing, shipping, returns and the software link to your webshop, run from the Netherlands for orders to the rest of the EU. Danish domestic orders can stay with a Danish warehouse.
