Frequently asked questions
Can any brand contract the services?
Our portfolio selection is very carefully chosen, and we only work with a limited amount of brands, to keep control, and not create internal competition.
We also only work with 100% agave tequilas, no mixtos.
Can I customize the offer?
The services above, are the base services. We can certainly discuss other markets, promotions, number of brand activation events.
Do you offer other services?
Yes, we offer:
- Brand consulting (pricing analysis, focus groups).
- Go-to-market strategies.
- Through our sister company (closrr.com marketing agency) we offer bottle branding and re-branding, website creation, digital advertisement.
Do you handle invoicing and customer support?
Yes, our e-commerce store handles all payment, invoicing and customer support.
Can I sell to end (private) customers?
Yes, our e-commerce store takes care of all legal requirements, alcohol sales licenses (including excise stamps), and legally-compliant logistics.
Can I sell 750ml bottles in the EU?
That’s not legally permitted in the EU, but we recommend using 700ml for US markets too: https://masterdistillers.net/the-700ml-bottle-why-its-time-for-brands-to-harmonize/
When does the warehouse and import fee start?
At least 1 month before we receive the product in our warehouse. We will be creating brand and product profiles, adding it to the system, e-commerce store, and assisting with the EU import formalities.
Who pays for the tax, logistics and excise duties for sold products?
We pay for all the expenses, logistics, and taxes related to the sales. There’s no cost or formalities on your end.
How much does the EU import cost?
We receive the product at the Berlin warehouse from you, with all costs (logistics from your warehouse to Berlin -Intercoms DAP-) paid by you. We perform the EU import and charge the fee (approx. €240 for 1 shipment with 1 SKU, and €80 for each additional SKU).Â
For example: each shipment (1 pallet or 10 pallets, doesn’t matter) with 3 SKUs would be 240 + 80 + 80 = €400.
This cost is per shipment (1-time fee) and is not included in the monthly warehouse fees.
How does the product consignment work?
We receive the product at the Berlin warehouse from you, with all costs (logistics from your warehouse to Berlin -Intercoms DAP-) paid by you. We perform the EU import and charge the fee (approx. €240 for 1 pallet with 1 SKU, and €80 for each additional SKU).
The product is stored in our warehouse (you keep the ownership) and once sold, you issue an invoice with the monthly sales, and it’s paid by us within 14 days to the designated bank account number.
We work with the following currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, however, we can issue payments in MXN to Mexican bank accounts.
If you need to remove the product from our warehouse, you can do so anytime.
Instead of consignment, can you purchase the product from me?
Yes, once we have worked with a brand for a certain time, know the selling volume, we can negotiate the purchase of your product directly.
I already have contacts would want to purchase the product, can they buy directly?
Yes, there are 2 scenarios:
- B2B (business customers with VAT and alcohol sales licence like bars, restaurants, stores): You will be able to invite users to the platform, and they will have discounted pricing available.
- B2C (private customers, without a VAT number or alcohol sales licence): they will be able to purchase the product as any other customers. We can even work with you to give them a special discount!
How do I keep track of sales and stock?
You will have access to our WMS, where you’ll be able to see sales and stock in real-time.
