Purchase from the UK or Spain with the right options: FCA and EXW

At RED GORILLA, we offer two flexible methods for purchasing our products, whether from our factory in the UK or from our warehouses in Spain. For our customers outside the UK and Spain, we present the best options based on the purchase origin:

  • For purchases from our UK factory, the ideal option is FCA (Free Carrier), where we manage the entire export process.
  • For purchases from our warehouses in Spain, the most convenient option is EXW (Ex Works), which offers greater control and flexibility for buyers.
