Why expand to Europe?

Ecommerce continues to grow across Europe, and Germany and the UK represent two of the largest opportunities. Germany is also a major commercial hub, making it a great location for deliveries across Europe.

By exporting inventory to Vortex fulfillment centers in Europe and using Vortex Fulfillment Europe (VFE) to store, pack, and ship customer orders, you can reach shoppers in 28 countries. If you use our Pan-European VFE program, we'll also automatically distribute your units across EU countries to meet customer demand—at no additional cost to you.
