Jersey Fulfilment By Justpack

Why Jersey for fulfilment?

In the rapid expansion of the internet mail order industry one of the primary planning elements has been to locate a fulfilment and call centre in a low employment cost area such as the North East of England or Ireland, however what has often been overlooked are the considerable financial benefits of outsourcing order fulfilment from offshore centres such as Jersey.

The primary financial benefit from utilising an offshore jurisdication such as Jersey, as a fulfilment centre, is the fact that goods with an intrinsic value under £18 do not attract VAT charges. This is applicable to products sent to both the UK and other European countries. This benefit enables organisations that send products from Jersey to charge their customers, for example, £17.99 compared with their UK counterpart, which will be over £21 while still generating the same profit margin.

In this highly competitive business arena price to the customer is the primary marketing driver and so fully utilising the VAT opportunity can lead to an expansion of any organisations market share. Jersey can offer this advantage as it is not part of the European Union and has its own Government (separate from the UK) that is responsible for the Island’s fiscal management.

The realisation of the considerable financial savings that can be made have lead to a significant number of organisations fulfiling there orders from the Channel Islands These have primarily been in the areas of high volume, low product value . In summary the advantages of utilising Jersey as a despatch centre is that it could lead to a reduced cost basis and lower customer prices.
