Amazon and Zalando's monopoly on the market
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 4:49 am
Rob van den Heuvel, president of Sendcloud, said, "Small retailers cannot compete with the big players like Amazon and Zalando, who are so large that they run their own logistics companies and can offer cheap international shipping rates. For example
, if a seller near the Dutch-Belgian border wants to ship to Belgium, which is 60 kilometers away, it would cost 5 euros to ship domestically, more than 100 kilometers away, but just crossing the border would mean a 9 euro fee and a week for delivery."
●Partnering with logistics companies
SendCloud has taken notice of this and launched a service that allows simple and efficient international shipping using delivery tools including APIs. Rather than locking in a contract with a logistics company, options are automatically displayed and you can choose the company that will deliver the fastest and cheapest.
This makes it possible to use the convenience store albania whatsapp data system familiar in Japan, where you can pick up and return packages at the nearest affiliated shop, in Europe.
SendCloud Company Overview
SendCloud was founded in the Netherlands in 2012 and is a software development company that connects online shops with logistics companies, and automatically sends packages through labeling, tracking, etc. SendCloud is
currently integrated with over 25 e-commerce software solutions and has been recognized as a fast-growing new IT company.
The company has its headquarters in the Netherlands and branches in Belgium, Germany, Austria, and France.
Summary
In the UK, there are already companies such as Transglobal that ship internationally to countries around the world, and a system is in place that allows you to automatically compare prices and delivery times depending on the shipping destination on their website, but careful discussions are being held across continental Europe on consumer protection laws, and it seems likely that in the near future a shipping system that corresponds to the standardization of the European digital market will be introduced.
The establishment of online services that are beneficial to consumers and sellers will be key, and will lead to further rapid growth in e-commerce in Europe.
