Logistics are part of the process, not an afterthought
QDP takes care of logistics from our own factory: choosing the route, shipping by air or sea, and customs clearance. You have one point of contact. Customs clearance and import duties to the Netherlands are included in the price. Delivery to your door is stated in the quote.
Which delivery is included is set out in the quote. Customs clearance and import duties to the Netherlands are included in the price. Delivery to your door is stated in the quote. For direct deliveries to other countries, we agree the transport costs, clearance, and import duties for each destination.
How we ship
Sea, air, or a smart combination
The standard for series
Most cost-effective per piece and the usual choice for plannable repeat orders. We bundle where possible in our own containers so the volume crosses efficiently.
For urgent and first series
The fastest route from factory to door, with a higher price per kilo. Ideal if a launch, first series or supplement can't wait.
The best of both
Part by air for speed, the rest by sea for the price. We tailor the mix to your deadline and budget, so you don’t pay or wait unnecessarily.
We find the cheapest reliable route ourselves and help plan ahead. For recurring orders, we look ahead so freight and production align.
DDP and clearance
No customs papers, no surprises at the border
We arrange the freight documents and customs clearance. Customs clearance and import duties to the Netherlands are included in the price. Delivery to your door is stated in the quote. For other destinations, the costs and responsibilities are set out in the quote.
Shipping costs
One clear line on your invoice
Transport costs are shown as a separate, transparent line on your invoice. We find the cheapest reliable route ourselves and charge the true freight costs, without hidden markups. The cost of freight depends on a few factors.
- Volume and weight
How much space and weight your shipment takes up determines the base price. Smart packaging and bundling saves immediately.
- Freight type
Sea is more cost-effective per piece, air is faster. The combined route sits deliberately between the two.
- Destination
Where it’s going and which clearance is required are included in the total delivered price.
- Timing
A plannable order is more economical than a rush. Early coordination keeps costs low.
Worldwide
Direct from the factory, wherever you are
We deliver not only in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, but also ship directly to destinations such as Australia, Thailand, Vietnam and the United States. If your market is outside Europe, your product does not have to go to the Netherlands first and back again. That saves time, handling and costs.
