In today's digital world, online shopping has become one of the most popular methods of purchasing products and services. Prepayment, also known as cash in advance, continues to be a popular payment method among consumers. But what is it about prepayment that makes it so popular, despite the variety of payment options available in today's digital era?

Convenience, simplicity and speed

In the past, it could take a few days for payments by bank transfer to reach the seller, depending on the bank and location. Almost all banks now participate in the standardised SEPA procedure. This means that transfers are usually booked at the seller's bank within a few hours on banking days (Mon-Fri 07:00 to 20:00 depending on the bank and not on national public holidays). It is even faster with so-called real-time transfers, where the transfer amount is credited to the seller's bank account within a very short time (max. 10 seconds).

The EU Parliament's decision obliges all European banks to offer real-time transfers free of charge, not only for domestic transfers but also for transactions between EU countries and - this is special - 24 hours a day outside the banks' normal business hours (banking days). Real-time transfers are expected to be free of charge within the EU from the 4th quarter of 2025. Many credit institutions (e.g. Santander and bunq) are already no longer charging any fees, but others will charge between EUR 0.50 and EUR 1.50 per transfer order until the final date.

In addition to the financial benefits, prepayment offers a level of convenience and simplicity that appeals to many consumers. Since customers do not have to enter payment information for each transaction, they can speed up the payment process and shop more efficiently. Prepayment is a straightforward payment method that does not require complex procedures or the use of third-party services.

Build trust and ensure security

A major reason for the continued popularity of prepayment is the sense of trust and security it provides to both buyers and sellers. If you choose to pay in advance, make sure the seller is trustworthy. Also, check the seller's return policy in case there are any issues.
This method of paying by bank transfer is safe and secure because the transaction takes place directly between bank accounts. There are several reasons why sellers offer this payment method, including avoiding non-payment and ensuring payment is received before shipment. It is important to use the correct seller account information and to execute the transfer carefully.

Save on fees and costs

Another benefit of prepayment is the potential cost savings for both parties involved. By eliminating the payment processing fees associated with credit card transactions, sellers can offer lower prices to their customers, while buyers can avoid additional fees that are often incurred with other payment methods.
No additional fees: Unlike other payment methods such as credit cards or online payment services, there are usually no additional fees for prepayment, which makes it more attractive for buyers. The payment method fees that many sellers charge for alternative payment methods such as credit card transactions or online payment services are also often waived when paying by bank transfer for prepayment orders.

Reduce fraud risks

Prepayment also serves as a safeguard against fraudulent activities, as sellers can validate the payment before the order is fulfilled. This additional layer of security can help prevent unauthorized transactions and protect confidential financial information. Especially with international customers or in B2B, we as sellers must ensure that our customers have actually authorized the payment - this can be done legally for both parties by paying by bank transfer from the customer's bank account to the seller's bank account.
Here we have summarized the three most important tips for secure payment by prepayment and bank transfer when shopping online:

• Check the seller's reliability: Read reviews and testimonials from other customers
• Pay attention to secure online shops: Use encrypted online shops, secure modern browsers and up-to-date virus software
• Keep an eye on your transactions: Regularly check your bank statements and order confirmations

Our conclusion on payment by prepayment when shopping online

When shopping online, it is important that you choose the right payment method to process your purchases securely. Prepayment by bank transfer is a tried and tested method of online purchasing that, when used correctly, will result in a smooth transaction.

Be sure to choose reputable sellers and conduct your transactions carefully to ensure the best shopping experience. In summary, the continued popularity of prepayment for online purchasing is due to the trust, security, cost savings, convenience and anti-fraud benefits it offers.

Please take into consideration that from November 24th we cannot give a delivery guarantee in 2023 for products that must be procured or special products (delivery status on item: yellow truck). Up to 90% of the goods ordered by November 24th will be delivered before the end of the year.

From December 1st the delivery time for all products that must be procured and special products (Delivery status on item: yellow truck) will increase from 15-16 working days (= about 4 weeks) to 22-23 working days (= about 5 weeks) because the earliest dispatch of these goods can be ensured from 15th January 2024.

Due to the increased demand in December plus holidays and stock-taking periods of almost all manufacturers dispatch can be delayed until mid January. These are our experiences from 26 years of e-business. Basically, there is hardly any chance to get these special goods earlier because most manufacturers do not start full operation again before 15th January 2024. If you have also ordered available central warehouse items, then you’d better select part delivery offered in the cart (double shipping costs) for the available goods, otherwise NO part delivery will be executed.

The entire delivery situation will be massively exacerbated at the end of the year (from December) because the existing delivery bottlenecks of all manufacturers will increase dramatically due to inventory reductions and all parcel senders and freight forwarders have already reported significant delivery delays. We therefore recommend that you place important orders in November at the latest and urgently order partial deliveries in the shopping basket at a charge if this is offered with different item delivery times.

Please note that existing orders are processed serially by the manufacturer. If you cancel, for example, procurement goods, you will have to expect even longer waiting periods with other dealers. We therefore advise you to be patient. 

Advice business customers

If all or some items in your order are so-called items that must be procured (yellow dot at article in product preview or product detail view) the Christmas or end-of-year holidays may cause delivery delays since these items are ordered directly from the manufacturers. Thus, we recommend particularly for orders that also include available central warehouse items (green dot at article) to select the option “part delivery” in the cart to permit the earliest possible dispatch of the goods. However, in this case you will receive the complete invoice (2023) for your entire order i.e. also the invoice for items that must be procured and are delayed in the delivery (2024).

If the order includes available central warehouse items only (delivery status on item: green truck), then you will receive the acknowledgement of order and confirmation of delivery date immediately after placing the order also during the whole holiday period and the turn of the year, otherwise on the working day that follows.

The European eCommerce Awards in Great Britain (UK) are accredited by the Awards Trust Mark - The Independent Awards Standards Council - Trust Mark Scheme.

The European eCommerce Awards evaluate and recognise outstanding websites and e-commerce platforms, as well as software, campaigns, agencies and teams in the field of online retail. The participating candidates are evaluated by respected industry experts in a robust two-stage evaluation process. In this process, the jurors analyse and evaluate website designs, technology and user interfaces in several vertical branches that have led to purchase transactions and increased ROI. These awards are evaluated based on criteria which consider the original goals, the effective implementation as well as tangible and verifiable results.

We are pleased to announce that we are WINNER of this year's European eCommerce Awards 2023 with our eCommerce platform eibabo® in the following two categories:

EUROPEAN B2C ECOMMERCE WEBSITE OF THE YEAR

EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL/EXPORT WEBSITE OF THE YEAR

The prices are now lower than they have been for a long time. We have made extensive price reductions for you.

The average saving is now approx. 7.2% and, depending on the manufacturer and item, even up to 25%. An ideal time to make high-turnover purchases now.

Alternative items are generally scarcely available at present and an existing order with items that are behind schedule is currently very valuable and should not be cancelled as a whole. The general delivery times for procurement goods will soon increase for the entire product range from the previous period of roughly 3 weeks to at least roughly 8-16 weeks. Items that are highly in demand already take more than 1 year (for example heat pumps or photovoltaics). KNX items for building automation also have considerable delivery periods already. Information is scarcely provided by manufacturers anymore, as they also lack information about missing components from suppliers.

If you have items in arrears from an order, this is monitored fully automatically. As soon as the goods have been received from the manufacturer, the order will be dispatched without delay. However, we do not recommend cancellation if you require these exact items, as they have already been queued by the manufacturer in serial order management and the associated allocation of materials to your order. The items in question are not available for delivery from other dealers either and a new order would mean multiplying the current delivery time, as the waiting period that has already elapsed would start over from the manufacturer’s side and many other orders have been received there in the meantime. Currently, the waiting periods for manufacturers are growing disproportionally due to constantly increasing incoming orders. However, an increasingly smaller number of dispatches are being carried out in proportion to this.

We have currently reached the limits of our capacity in phone support as well due to the massive amount of queries. The average waiting time for phone queries is roughly 30-60 min. E-mail queries from unregistered customers (ordering as guests) have processing times of up to 2-3 days. We therefore recommend you to register when placing an order in order to enjoy the benefits of a personal customer account with a consultant assigned to your order. This is the fastest and most secure route for queries. Your messages will be answered in the shortest time possible on the same day/within 24 hours and service is guaranteed 24/365.

eibmarkt® GmbH can look back on many years of experience in the international mail order business. As part of our 25th anniversary, eibabo® has prepared a large number of special highlights for you, especially for our own brands. For the next weeks, in addition to celebratory prices on the entire product range, we will have extraordinary special offers from brand manufacturers, special offers on KNX products, reduced service packages and much more.

In the last 25 years we have shipped over 2,000,000 orders and acquired more than 1,000,000 customers. Every day, our 40 eibabo and eibmarkt shop systems answer 500,000+ search queries worldwide and display more than 6.4 million articles in 14 languages. Over 30 country-specific payment methods and currencies ensure a secure and fast checkout process. Extensive and unique imaging through multiple views as well as more than 100 cross-selling recommendations on each article ensure an exceptional user experience. We would like to say THANK YOU to all users, and especially our loyal customers who have been with us for years.

We are looking forward to this special event and would like to use our anniversary week to thank you for your many years of loyalty. Your purchases, ideas and criticisms are the basis of the success of eibmarkt® and eibabo®.

Thank you!

This development is fuelled by speculators and massive purchases of raw materials from Asia and the USA. Wood prices are also dizzyingly high, often an indicator of extraordinary times, ahead of other important commodities. The global zero interest rate policy could now be the "tipping point" for very exceptional circumstances, in combination with further rising prices. Hopefully, the situation will ease in a few weeks or months.

However, we will also have to reckon with rising prices in the future, due to the burden on the economy and state budgets caused by coronavirus. At the moment, consumer prices for electrical installations can still be described as moderate, with the exception of a few manufacturers. Niedax and OBO have seen the largest noticeable price increases in recent weeks.

eibmarkt.com GmbH is one of the few exporters authorized by the customs authorities in these industry. Multiple times a year, the customs authorities review compliance with all criteria. eibmarkt® GmbH is connected to the data center of the AEB and acts in accordance with the ATLAS procedure certified by the federal finance office. Our own digital customs clearance allows us to inspect and influence processes in a rapid, unbureaucratic manner. Our employees receive comprehensive training in this system and have multilingual backgrounds to answer international customer inquiries.

This means that we procure all the necessary goods documentation for export (certificates of origin, movement certificate, proof of preference, other necessary accompanying papers in the import country) to offer you the highest possible degree of comfort and security. Furthermore, every shipment of goods will be declared correctly, which will save you as a customer lots of additional expenses and problems with mailing and customs.

Due to the upcoming Brexit processes on 01 January 2021, there will be a temporary stop of all deliveries from 22.12.2020 from our warehouses to the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland. From 18.12.2020, the delivery country United Kingdom will also be temporarily unavailable in the delivery country selection of our online shops.

Until the final clarification of the Brexit agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom, we will use the time to technically adapt our eCommerce platforms to the changed circumstances for orders from / to Great Britain or Northern Ireland.

From January 2021, we will again enable our customers (corporate customers as well as consumers) from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland to shop at eibmarkt® and eibabo® under the changed conditions that will then apply.

Until then, we ask our British customers for patience and understanding for this decision.

- something only the user knows (a password or PIN)
- something only the user possesses (a card, a mobile phone)
- something the user is (biometric feature such as fingerprint or iris recognition)

Many shop systems will certainly be affected by the changes to the payment systems. We are curious as to whether this new directive will actually be safer, more convenient and more innovative once it has been implemented, and whether it will have a negative impact on usability.

The idea of a "flying train" is that you get on a flight cabin at an ordinary train station and that this cabin is later directly connected to the module with wings and aero-engines. Basically, the train goes to the airport and directly to the flight module. During the journey to the airport the check-in is carried out. After landing at the destination, train and flight module are separated and the train continues on railway tracks to the destination stations.

Many shops, websites and other institutions will now publish comprehensive information about data protection, and there will be many additional clicks for you to confirm approval or refusal. From today, this is a legal obligation. However, all this serves one final purpose: the protection of your personal data. That is why all these measures should be considered a positive thing. Later, court decisions will probably require several amendments to this Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It will be interesting to follow the development...

Since 01 January 2018, it has been prohibited to sell and install products that do not correspond to this Directive within the EU.

Examples for devices that correspond to the Directive are: AEG VH 213 or AEG VH Comfort:

Direct link to item AEG VH Comfort (238722) ...

Direct link to item AEG VH 213 (238296) ...

Examples of forbidden devices are: AEG WKL Series or Glen Dimplex GFP or DTD Series.

Low-value assets are a company’s fixed assets that are movable, subject to wear and tear and independently usable AND whose net acquisition value is between €150 and €410 (or €1,000) (legal situation in 2017 – price less value added tax, discounts, rebates, replacement reserves, subsidies, investment deduction).

Current amortisation/depreciation options for low-value assets (legal situation in 2017):

1. Net acquisition value* up to €150.00

All acquisitions are immediate operating expenses, without obligation to keep records in a separate list.

2. Net acquisition value* €150.01 to €410.00

Immediate amortisation/depreciation in accordance with Sec. 6 Subsec. 2 EStG (German Income Tax Act) or amortisation/depreciation over the useful life of the asset in accordance with Sec. 7 EStG as per amortisation/depreciation table (AfA), with obligation to keep records in a separate list.

3. Net acquisition value*€150.01 to €1,000.00

Pool amortisation/depreciation with obligation to keep records in a separate list in accordance with Sec. 6 Subsec. 2a EStG (annual pool amortisation/depreciation of 20%) or amortisation/depreciation over the useful life of the asset in accordance with Sec. 7 EStG as per amortisation/depreciation table (AfA), with obligation to keep records in a separate list.

4. Net acquisition value* over €1,000.01

Here there is only the amortisation/depreciation option in accordance with Sec. 7 EStG over the useful life of the asset as per amortisation/depreciation table (AfA), with obligation to keep records in a separate list. The alternatives immediate amortisation/depreciation or pool amortisation/depreciation are only possible for the financial year in question, that is, the amortisation/depreciation version selected applies for all assets purchased in one financial year! If the immediate amortisation/depreciation option up to €410 is selected, all assets with higher acquisition costs must be entered on the assets side accordingly and amortised/depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Changes applicable from 01.01.2018

Significant changes will come into force on 01.01.2018 through the “Zweite Bürokratieentlastungsgesetz” (Second Act to Reduce Bureaucracy) as well as the „Gesetz gegen schädliche Steuerpraktiken im Zusammenhang mit Rechteüberlassungen“ (Act against Harmful Tax Practices with Respect to the Transfer of Rights).

Re 1.

All acquisitions whose net acquisition value does not exceed €250.00 are not low-value assets and can be regarded as immediate operating expenses.

Re 2.

The upper limit for so-called low-value assets is raised from currently €410 to €800, and the lower limit is raised to €250. Items affected by this are movable fixed assets that are independently usable, for example writing implements, tablet computers or office or business equipment. In future, their acquisition or production costs (or the value taking their place) can be amortised/depreciated immediately up to a value of €800.

Re 3.

In addition, for the so-called pool amortisation/depreciation, the lower limit value (currently €150) is also raised to €250 (Sec. 6 Subsec. 2a Sentences 1 and 4 EStG). This means that assets with acquisition or production costs of €250.01 to €1,000.00 (≤ €1,000) per financial year can be grouped together in one collective item. Acquisitions with a net acquisition value of more than €1,000 must be amortised/depreciated as usual on the basis of the amortisation/depreciation table (AfA), as before.

Deploying The Ocean Cleanup - Simulation:

The story is simply ingenious. The same applies to the Elton John soundtrack. As we see it by far the best spot in the last few years.

Samsung official TV spot: bird ostrich:

Big corporations underestimate considerably the effects of disruptive technologies i.e. innovations that are able to replace an existing technology, an existing product or service completely within a very short time. (e.g. Kodak, Nokia etc.).There are too many panels, hierarchies, departments and administration efforts that burden companies with a large number of employees in the future concerning their costs, response time and flexibility. Not many of these companies really think carefully about coming changes and the required adjustments that they might have to make and stick to their old structures. Just 8 years ago there was the breakthrough of smart phones, which are indispensable in our everyday lives as well as in the economy today. Thanks to the internet, small and medium sized enterprises are abreast today and can act faster and in a more flexible way and also often with stronger and more targeted innovative power making efficient use of their resources.

The powerful automation of processes and work flow, the pressure of being efficient caused by globalization as well as the massive digitalization in all areas of life are harbingers of a new maybe unexpected future. Robots and androids will be a common sight in less than 20 years. Competitor or colleague? Machine or friend? How important will man be in all this? Androids will not only look like a human being but have a similar awareness and feelings. Artificial intelligence will have an increasing influence. There are already experiments to optimize the human brain in a way that it can cope with the increasing challenges of a digital world. The normal living and working process as we know it today will change considerably. Freely accessible information will alter the training of young people in the medium and long term. The number of digital nomads is rising worldwide; experiencing free time and work individually will be made possible due to the permanent availability of internet access. Already today, the value chain is acutely disturbed by online business. In 15 to 20 years, there will probably be only a 30% full-time employment and the recently discussed issue of a basic income might no longer be a free decision of the population bur a necessity…

For some time, the Federal Government and the EU have been dealing with exactly these issues and the potential changes and effects that can be expected in order to create suitable frame conditions for politics and economy. The number of possible influencing factors and a precise assessment when and what kind of changes will happen and what the consequences will be cannot be predicted at all, particularly in view of the rapid development of information technology worldwide.

Why are we as developers, service providers and e-tailers of intelligent technology products writing such an article? Of course, we cannot stop this development but intend to motivate to live life more consciously. It is not in the human nature to process an enormous flood of information and the extremely high speed of changes. The body needs to slow down to be able to experience its environment consciously and to process and store impressions. If every day in someone’s private life, more time is spent on WhatsApp and social networks than on real contact to friends and family this is a first indication.

The results are future challenges for manufacturers and service providers with the aim to relieve people and not to burden them with information and calls for action. There is a sheer unmanageable number of automation solutions in the SmartHome area and the number of completely nonsensical applications is steadily increasing. The consumer is hardly able to recognize which hardware and application is really smart and which is not since almost everything is called "smart" when advertising even if it is not. Who needs a toothbrush that tell you that you have brushed the upper left teeth too long, an app-controlled toilet flush or a washing machine that orders new detergent? Applications are smart only if they can provide the user with a real practical added value. Studies have shown that most users, (over 50%) would like to have a smart heating control system followed by remote-controlled windows, blinds or shutters and automation of the lighting system.

Finally, we would like to give one nice example; a colleague told us that he went to an electronics store looking for a normal radio for his garden cottage. Quickly they found a suitable radio with the desired design and the polite shop assistant demonstrated the radio. Wanting to know where volume and radio station could be selected he was told that, of course, an App made by the manufacturer would be required. Speechless our colleague left the scene...

The advantages at a glance

Simple and fast programming, customised end user settings possible, clear and intuitive interface, convenient control via smartphone or tablet, integration of Live Style products such as Philips Hue, future-proof due to updates and upgrades

Always up to date

All automatic updates of the Smart Visu Server, you can find listed in a "Change Log" document with chronological order. This is available as a PDF for download.

Modular software – Open for the future

The architecture of the Smart Visu Server software has been created so that it keeps pace with the requirements of modern life. From home entertainment to intelligent fridges, there is an increasing number of smart devices in a modern household which enable connectivity to the building system. The Smart Visu Server has therefore been consciously created as an open system. It is possible with regularly released updates to add technologies and protocols as modules. The server thus already supports the Philips Hue colour light system in its factory state.

Amazon permits e-tailers who list their articles to make use of the descriptions and pictures of those who listed them first if the product has already been published on the platform. Generally, this is an advantage for all following e-tailers who want to save the effort. At the same time Amazon makes it possible to provide a quick supply for comprehensive offers made by many e-tailers. However, it gets dangerous if these article descriptions do not correspond to the legal requirements or are changed subsequently, without Amazon advising the e-tailers accordingly in one form or another. For e-tailers with several thousand articles it is absolutely impossible to carry out such checks manually by looking at all pages since this cannot be done through database access because Amazon does not provide any access to the really visible information. One cannot possibly know where there are faulty contents for articles on the Amazon page but is, however, fully liable even it is not the own contents that were transferred to Amazon. Once you have received a cease and desist declaration being listed again on Amazon is virtually impossible since the contract penalty per existing case can amount to several thousand Euros and there are hardly any legal means to use, thus, making a payment inevitable. Furthermore, there are many suppliers who deliberately make use of these facts in order to start a flood of cease and desist letters later by integrating faulty contents in the first listing and then suspending or deactivating their own offers after the first e-tailers have made use of this first listing. Unfortunately, there is no secure possibility to find out whether you are as an e-tailer the first one to be listed and to check in a legally binding way if the contents you uploaded will stay forever as they are.

Current BGH, Federal Supreme Court rulings, that means decisions that have already gone through several levels of jurisdiction, now even support those who issue the warnings letters, e.g. "Offer Manipulation on Amazon" (BGH I ZR 140/14) or "Manufacturer’s Price Recommendation on Amazon" (BGH I ZR 110/15). In this legal dispute Amazon themselves were not the defendants. Sooner or later perhaps there will be someone who finds the courage to go against Amazon as a company that disturbs competition because the marketplace provides the possibilities to do so.

The statement of the BGH: "E-tailers who offer products for sale on the internet sales platform Amazon-marketplace have the obligation of due diligence and must check whether there are any changes in the descriptions of their articles in their offers that were made by third parties on their own if the platform providers permit such offer modifications." How exactly such verifications could be executed if several thousand articles are listed is not a task of the BGH. They only point out the verification periods. Thus, it is easy now, with the support of the BGH, to seriously harm one’s competitors. In our view, every e-tailer has to really reconsider whether they can “risk” to be published on Amazon. The question remains how exactly Amazon will react to this. It is possible that no change in the publication principles can be expected and the whole matter will be sat out. However, should there be a decrease in supplier offers, which can be expected after these rulings; Amazon will have to take action.

In contrast to glasses for virtual reality such as the Oculus Rift or Sony’s PlayStation VR the user is not completely transferred into a digital world but can place and move virtual objects in a real world; which is called Augmented Reality. Microsoft HoloLens are Augmented Reality Glasses (Augmented Reality (AR), stands for a kind of extended reality for a computer-controlled perception where a real and virtual world are mixed), which permit the user with the help of a Natural User Interface to display interactive 3D projections in the immediate surroundings. HoloLens works completely independent without smart phone or additional computer or cable connections. As a user you look through transparent screens which make you see the projections. However, the high-resolution projections do not represent any holograms and are not displayed by means of pixel/raster as with the Oculus Rift, but by means of projected light spots. The Microsoft HoloLens can be controlled through gestures, voice, head or eye movement.

The Microsoft HoloLens works with the Windows Holographic platform of the operating system Windows 10 and operates without additional PC or cable. The number of application fields is sheer inconceivable. You want to project the Porsche in an unexpected quality into your living room where you can hardly notice the difference between this projection and reality and inspect every single detail or send the A380 directly to your front garden? The games sector, research and development, industrial applications, medicine, not to speak of the daily shopping experience and the user routines which will, thus, change fundamentally. Whether these glasses mean the breakthrough for Microsoft to catch up with Apple & Co. is doubtful. If, however, Microsoft is able to perfect these glasses and, above all, to win a huge team of app developers and to offer the glasses at a fair price, these glasses could mean a considerable potential for change. In e-business, too, these glasses plus product-specific apps provide enormous opportunities, particularly for products that require a high degree of consulting. Due to their experiences with their 3D reproduction graphics, eibmarkt has also applied for the job of developer. However, at the moment this is only reserved for the USA and Canada by providing a developer’s kit that has to be paid for.

However, we do believe that these are only the first steps towards an extended reality (AR) which is sure to come and which will determine people’s life considerably in perhaps 20 to 40 years and that completely without glasses but simply with sensors in the surroundings. However, there is danger as soon as it becomes hard or even impossible to distinguish between the real and the virtual world.

The self-proclaimed technology nerd in the following YT video summarized very nicely the topic of the Microsoft HoloLens already at the beginning of 2015 and did this using Microsoft publications (German language only):

In the years to come increasing attacks on building automation systems can be expected, particularly since many temporary systems are currently flooding the market. For highest possible protection of the system it is, thus, essential to already consider security mechanisms during the planning and installation stage. Here, support is provided by the position paper „Security“ as well as the KNX check list „Security“, see KNX.org as well as specialist companies with long-year experience in the field of KNX system integration.

Example Switzerland:

In Switzerland this threshold is currently at CHF 62.00 (invoice amount including shipping costs). Here, neither value added tax nor customs duties are due. For such values the new shipping methods is not profitable and the DHL Europack International should be selected in the cart. The customs authorities always convert the invoice amount using the current CHF exchange rate irrespective of whether your purchase was in Dollars or Euros. Here is a little sample invoice showing the total costs for Switzerland.

If you order goods at a value of CHF 325 from a German e-tailer, the following total costs will approximately result whereas the costs for customs (customs clearance costs) are already included in the DHL fees with the new shipping method "DHL Paket International", former "Weltpaket".

Costs for customs clearance: CHF 16.50 (varies for postal service from CHF 12.00 to 17.50), for courier services (DHL, DPD, UPS etc.) this fee can be higher. Processing surcharge (not for purchases from Germany): CHF 9.75 (amounts to 3% of the value of the goods and is charged by the postal service for imports from all countries except Germany, France, Austria and Italy. For courier services this fee can vary or is sometimes not charged at all. Costs for the missing declaration: CHF 13. If the three copies of the shipping documents are not attached to the outside of the parcel or if there is a mistake in the declaration, the parcel will be opened against a fee. Fees of courier services are sometimes different. The fee does not arise if the sender has declared everything correctly. Finally there is the value added tax (import turnover tax) 8% VAT or 2.5% depending on the nature of the goods to be imported.

Further information about add. costs, customs duties for Third-and EFTA countries

Due to the fact that the reputable shop systems pay their taxes in conformity with the law and the huge growth of e-commerce the financial authorities of all EU countries have recognized the enormous income potential and devised clever means to identify those e-tailers that still do not follow these legal regulations. For example, in Austria the financial authorities have devised a regulation § 27 Abs. 6a ÖUStG, according to which the tax authorities are authorized to contact the postal services. They have to report to the tax authorities which companies – not based in Austria – deliver goods to Austrian customers. In the next step the tax authorities contact the respective German e-tailers and ask them whether the threshold value has been exceeded or not. This permits to identify and fine exceeded thresholds from years long past.

Until today, many German online shops have not been able to incorporate delivery threshold values and will probably encounter huge difficulties in the near future due to the tax debt because the tax burden on active e-tailers is considerable. Every e-tailer who is technically unable to implement all this should stop their intra-community business transactions with private customers. Understandably, there are a lot of significant measures of the international tax authorities in place at the moment.

5-year comparative study of gross list prices (02 October 2010 – 10 October 2015)
comparing our approx. 2,000 brand manufacturers:

Total number of articles: 20,296 (5.78%) with average price reductions by: 0.51%
Total number of articles: 330,410 (94.05%) with average price increases by: 8.19%
Total number of articles with unchanged article prices: 611 (0.17%)

5-year comparative study of gross list prices (02 May 2008 – 06 May 2013)
comparing our approx. 2,000 brand manufacturers:

Total number of articles: 41,810 (13.56%) with average price reductions by: 1.18%
Total number of articles: 265,507 (86.14%) with average price increases by: 7.5%
Total number of articles with unchanged article prices: 1,816 (0.3%)

That means that almost all manufacturers in the sector of electrical engineering have increased the prices of their entire product range by an average of 8.2% (!) during the last 5 years. The inflation rate per annum is about 1.64% in this segment, and thus within the limit of 2 %.

What is paradox today…
Nowadays, we have bigger houses but smaller families, more convenience but less time. We dispose of a higher level of education with more knowledge but less common sense and less ability to judge. There are more experts but more problems, too. More medicine but less health. We laugh tool little and are annoyed too often, read less often, watch too much television and are not very considerate. Our possessions have increased manifold but our values reduced. We love not enough and lie too often. We have learned to earn a living but not to live. We have high buildings but are short tempered. broad streets but narrow points of view. We spend more but own less. We purchase more but enjoy less. We have found the way to the moon but find it hard to cross the street to meet our neighbours. We have learned to hurry but not to wait. We have more types of food but less nutrition.

From end of August 2012 EIBMARKT presents a new switch actuator 12fold (N000202), where 6 channels provide the usual capacity of 16A in manual operation of the current 8fold actuator and where there are additional 6 channels for 8A without manual operation. This permits to install the MDRC casing in only six 6 width units. That means in a standard current distribution board 24 channels can be integrated on one top hat rail. Besides its known high stability and high quality casing and a sophisticated electronic system the actuator offers comprehensive parameters for a diversity of applications (very wide range of parameters).

With the upturn of the economic cycle after such a crisis, prices increased again. This in particular will be the reason for extreme price increases during the slowdown of the euro crisis following the enormous amounts of money pumped into the financial markets. There could even be a creeping inflation. During the crisis in 2001, which was clearly weaker than the one we are experiencing now, the Euro clearly lost its value compared to foreign currency. All in all, these connections and interactions are extremely complex and there is hardly anybody who can predict how things could or even will turn out.

However, crises are part of each economy. During the last years, we have analysed our article data and recognized steadily increasing gross list prices particularly after the worldwide economic upturn starting from 2009. This increase amounted to approx. 5% in the electronic/electric sector. At the same time we found out that , apart from that, the basic manufacturers‘ gross list prices on the German market are still lower than in other European countries or third and EFTA countries. This is still the case. Based on this, shopping on the internet is particularly popular in Germany.

So, what could be done with surplus money, if you are unsure? Many people invest in raw materials because they are, generally, quoted in Dollars and often tend to have a high growth during a crisis. Others invest in foreign global unit trusts, shares etc. (Switzerland, Norway, USA), to escape a collapsing EURO zone if the worst comes to the worst. In our view, the easiest and safest way is quite unconventional, just buy a house, renovate your house or invest in a building automation system which increases the value of your premises.

We have often talked about the market price situation in our NEWS which will hardly be as favourable as it is today in the medium or even long term. Low interest rates and very favourable purchase conditions will be hard to find after the slowdown of the EURO crisis and a following worldwide boom.

Despite or even due to the EURO crisis, it is a good time for bigger investments into the future.
