About

A purchasing office,
not a marketplace.

Swiss retailers rarely ship abroad, often reject foreign cards and almost never issue export papers. SwissBuyer exists to sit between you and all of them, with a Swiss address, a Swiss card and a Swiss VAT number.

What is still open

Terms of service, the privacy policy and the consumer-rights notice are drafted but not published: they need review by a Swiss commercial lawyer first, and the legal notice records that status rather than linking to a placeholder. Whether Dr. Import buys in its own name or acts as a disclosed agent also changes the VAT position, and is being settled with a fiduciary.

The arrangement

We buy it. You own it.

When you accept a quote, Dr. Import purchases the goods in its own name with a Swiss card, takes delivery at Crissier, and resells them to you on a commercial invoice. That matters for three reasons: the Swiss retailer deals with a Swiss buyer and does not refuse the card, the 8.1% VAT is reclaimed on export and credited back to you, and there is one identifiable company on the invoice if something goes wrong.

Who buys the goodsDr. Import, with a Swiss commercial card, at the Swiss retail price. Any discount or price drop between quote and purchase is passed back to you rather than kept.
Who owns them in transitDr. Import, until delivery. On DDP shipments we are the importer of record and settle destination duty and import tax, so nothing is collected from you on arrival.
Who is liableDr. Import, a company registered in Vaud with a VAT number and a fixed address. Not a platform, not an intermediary, not an anonymous account.
What we are notNot a customs broker, not a tax adviser, and not a licensed importer in your country. Where goods need an import licence at your end we decline the order rather than gamble with it.

Where we sit

Crissier, on the
Lausanne logistics belt.

The warehouse is in Crissier, canton de Vaud. Geneva Airport is the gateway at roughly 55 km, against 220 km to Zürich — which is why most parcels leave through Geneva and why transit times to the Gulf and Asia are shorter than a Zürich-based forwarder would quote.

WarehouseCrissier, canton de Vaud. Goods are received, counted, photographed and repacked here before export.
GatewayGeneva Airport, about 55 km. Zürich is used only where a carrier routes through it.
LanguagesEnquiries are handled in English, French, German and Italian. The site is published in eight languages; Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic marketing copy is awaiting native review and says so.
PaymentBank transfer to a PostFinance account in CHF or EUR, with a QR-bill. Card payment authorises rather than charges: it is captured once a buyer has confirmed stock, and cancelled if the order cannot be filled.
