When it comes to 3PL fulfilment, costs can vary widely depending on the provider and the services required. If you’re an ecommerce business looking to optimise logistics while saving money, it’s essential to understand how 3PL pricing works and what hidden fees to watch out for.
At The Fulfilment Experts, we pride ourselves on being the cheapest solution in the UK while maintaining exceptional service quality. Unlike other fulfilment centres, we offer a tailored pricing model to ensure you’re only paying for what you truly need—nothing more, nothing less.
Understanding 3PL Fulfilment Costs
Before diving into how The Fulfilment Experts save you money, it’s important to understand the typical costs associated with 3PL fulfilment:
Storage Fees
Most 3PL providers charge storage fees based on the amount of space your inventory occupies. This can be daily, weekly, or monthly.
🔴 Hidden Cost Alert: Some companies impose minimum storage requirements or long-term fees.
✅ How We Save You Money: With The Fulfilment Experts, you get FREE storage for the first 2 months with no minimum order requirements. This makes it easy for new businesses to start without the burden of upfront storage costs.
Picking & Packing Costs
This is the cost of retrieving items from inventory and packaging them for shipping. Typically, 3PLs charge per item or per order.
🔴 Hidden Cost Alert: Look out for complex pricing tiers that charge more for additional items in the same order.
✅ Our Solution: Our prices start at just £1 per order, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Our tailored solutions ensure you’re only paying for the packing services you need.
Shipping Costs
Shipping is often the most expensive part of the fulfilment process. Rates depend on the destination, package weight, and delivery speed.
🔴 Hidden Cost Alert: Some 3PLs charge extra for premium courier services or international shipping.
✅ How We Cut Your Shipping Costs: At The Fulfilment Experts, we offer Shipping Optimisation Services. We continuously innovate to save you money on shipping by selecting the most cost-effective courier options. We also offer Sunday despatch, ensuring fast delivery times without added costs.
Returns Processing Fees
Handling returns involves receiving, inspecting, and restocking products, which some 3PLs charge as an extra fee.
🔴 Hidden Cost Alert: High returns processing fees and restocking charges can quickly add up.
✅ Our Advantage: We provide streamlined returns management with transparent pricing. Our team processes returns efficiently, minimising costs while maintaining customer satisfaction.
