As a Danish company, expanding to the Dutch market is an obvious choice.
The Dutch and Danish cultures are similar and therefore the Netherlands is an obvious market to expand to.
At Homerunner, you get a strong shipping concept that allows you to send parcels to the Netherlands without any problems.
The Dutch and Danes have a lot in common. For example, both are used to shopping online. The population in the Netherlands is three times larger than in Denmark, something you should take advantage of when internationalizing your business.
Dutch expectations of businesses are very similar to those in Denmark:
- Webshops that communicate in the local language
- Multiple payment methods available
- Smooth delivery
At Homerunner, Danske Fragtmænd collects your parcels, ensures they are driven to the Netherlands and handed over to local carriers.
For you, this means an average delivery time of 2.5 business days and favorable prices that we have negotiated through our economies of scale.
With our returns portal, your customers can quickly and easily create a return shipment and send the package back to you.
This gives them a great customer experience - even after the purchase. At the same time, the returns portal ensures that you can keep track of all logistics around return packages.
