Professional enquiry to Galaxus
I have a question about product range planning in the 3D printing sector. QIDI is currently offering a very strong Black Friday deal on the EU site: The X-Max 3 still costs around 499 euros there instead of the regular 1,099 euros (plus EU VAT deduction). If you do the maths, the final price in Switzerland would still be significantly below the usual market prices despite the exemption from customs duties for importers. However, direct imports are unattractive for private customers, as shipping costs from the EU to Switzerland are above average worldwide. This is precisely where I see an opportunity for Galaxus: The printer is extremely competitive in terms of technology and price, and in my estimation there would be a clear demand in Switzerland for a reliable retailer to sell it professionally. A few points that make the X-Max 3 particularly attractive: - large installation space - CoreXY system with high stability - very good value for money - own, stable QIDI software (no immature open source fork) - High level of service: QIDI replaces filament boxes free of charge, for example, if older versions no longer meet its own quality standards - generally significantly fewer problems than many mainstream brands in the same price category From my point of view, the X-Max 3 would be a product that would sell very well at Galaxus - especially because comparable devices from other suppliers are usually offered at significantly higher prices in Switzerland. Could Galaxus look into the possibility of a direct purchase or a range test with QIDI (e.g. X-Max 3 or X-Plus 3)? The existing delivery times for other 3D printers suggest that EU logistics channels are already connected. QIDI could therefore be integrated relatively easily. With a good Black Friday price, I would very much like to purchase the printer directly from Galaxus - and I am convinced that many other technically orientated customers would see it the same way.
