Government urges UK businesses to move to EU and avoid Brexit costs / Join this Wednesday’s webinar with delivery experts GFS to discover how

No doubt you’ll be reeling from the latest ‘helpful’ advice from the Government urging UK businesses to move to the EU as a way of reducing Brexit costs and complexities. It’s about as useful as the ‘FREE’ trade deal that we thought we had. Regardless, UK ecommerce exports to the EU fell off the cliff in the first two weeks of January due to a myriad of issues – parcels stuck on lorries on the way to Dover, parcels rejected by customs because of missing or incorrect customs data, carriers adding surcharges or even suspending certain services, businesses themselves deciding to stop shipping altogether. And don’t get me started about Northern Ireland! Whether your plan is to continue shipping to the EU from UK, ship from within the EU (or you’ve simply not decided), be sure to sign up for this Wednesday’s webinar with GFS for some straight talking.

Since leaving the EU, new customs rules have not only disrupted deliveries to Europe with vast numbers of parcels being delayed, refused or returned to the sender, but this weekend, the news also carried stories of EU consumers refusing deliveries of goods they have purchased from the UK when the courier turns up asking for a payment for duties. Retailer are now faced with Brexit complexities including high costs to process paperwork and sort out duty to get their returns back into the UK and some are simply washing their hands of the goods, writing them off and leaving them with the carrier to dispose of.

As well as giving you clarity on what’s needed for successful deliveries and returns to the EU, GFS will also be looking at for locating parts, or all of your logistics within the EU to cut down Brexit cost and complexity, including:

• Shipping direct to consumers in the EU and how to ensure the delivery is successful
• How to get products into an EU warehouse to be distributed within Europe (meaning no demands for cash to pay duties on delivery)
• Returns and presenting GFS GLobal Returns as an option
• A service to collect your goods in the UK, clear them into the EU and forward ship them to an EU Amazon FBA warehouse

There’s no doubt that 2020 was like no other as UK businesses faced the perfect storm of Brexit, COVID and Peak. Sign up now for this webinar for a ‘look back’ at the key learnings from 2020 and to find out what’s needed to set yourself up for success in the face of another year, and another Peak, with the ongoing impact from Brexit and COVID

As a bonus, at the end of the webinar you’ll also get GFS’ 4-point Action Plan for ecommerce Delivery in 2021 to ensure success.
