Dear Partner
The news that all shops must be closed until at least April 19th hit us all like a slap in the face.
It is not yet clear what the decision of the Federal Council will mean for our industry in the medium and short term.
Will we get off with a black eye again, or will many skateshop existences be destroyed by the summer?
One thing is clear. The whole thing is a disaster! For you, for us and for skateboarding in Switzerland.
The ground has been pulled out from under our feet and most of you have no chance to generate sales in the next 6 weeks.
And this in the most important and highest-turnover season for us.
It is clear to everyone that there are many lives at stake. Even ours, as your distribution is one of them!
Through our online shop "SKATE.CH" we still have the possibility to deliver products to Swiss customers.
That brings me to the point of this letter:
SKATE.CH becomes your online shop!
For the time you are not allowed to open your shops anymore, we will collect the complete contribution margin of our online shop "SKATE.CH" in a fund.
We will distribute this fund to you after the lockdown. Each shop will get a share of our turnover. You do not need to do anything for it.
Except to hope that the customers order in Switzerland and not at Blue Tomato, Skatedeluxe or SkatePro.
I hope that we all get through this crisis together.

Dropshipment
Alternatively we can also make Dropshipment's directly to your customers.
You can order normally in B2B and enter the delivery address in the comment field and we will send the products directly to your customer's home.
The invoice will be sent to you as usual.
Please contact us by mail or phone if you see other ways we can help you during this time.
We will do everything to master this crisis with you!
Stay healthy
Soerfi, Dennis, Judith & Sharon
