Shipping and Fulfilment Services

Shipping and fulfilment are crucial aspects of the operations of eCommerce businesses. But managing shipping and fulfilment yourself can be time-consuming and complex, especially as you grow and scale.

To solve this problem, you should consider passing some of these responsibilities to an experienced fulfilment company. By outsourcing your fulfilment responsibilities to us, you can focus fully on the core activities of running your company, such as product development, sales and customer service.   

As an eCommerce business, you most likely aim to send goods to as many customers as possible. Fulfilment companies like Bezos have expertise and software that can help you make all the deliveries seamless. So, if you want to save time and money while offering efficient deliveries to clients, contact Bezos. 

What are shipping and fulfilment?

Shipping and fulfilment refer to delivering ordered products to those who purchased them. Fulfilment encompasses all the steps from when a business receives an order to when the buyer picks up the package.

Order fulfilment includes activities such as picking, packing and shipping goods. Although it is possible for eCommerce businesses to manage the whole process on their own, using the services of a third-party fulfilment company can make it more efficient. 

Bezos fulfilment offerings

We are a leading full-service fulfilment provider, handling all elements of the fulfilment process, including storage, picking, packing, despatch and delivery for our clients. Our main order fulfilment services include:

  • Preparing orders

Our services start with us taking care of picking and packing your orders, including large packages of up to three metres and heavy ones weighing up to 70 kilograms. We make sure to include all necessary invoices and labels. 

  • Storing inventory

We safely store your inventory in our fulfilment centres until it is ready to be shipped to customers. We aim to prepare it to be sold within just 48 hours of arrival. The great thing is that you can send your products to our fulfilment centres straight from the supplier. You can ship your products to us using cartons, pallets or containers.

  •  Shipping goods

With us, you can send your products within the UK and internationally. We work with eCommerce businesses worldwide and have over 50 fulfilment centre locations. For goods sent to locations in the UK, our next-day delivery cut-off time is 9 pm, which is much later than the 2.30 pm that most 3PLs offer. 

  • Processing returns

Giving buyers a chance to easily return products that are faulty or that do not meet their expectations is essential to improve customer satisfaction. We offer a comprehensive return system that makes the return process straightforward and quick. With our returns portal, you can create return labels with just two clicks. 

  • Integrating with marketplaces and sales channels

We integrate with numerous platforms such as eBay, Amazon, Shopify and WooCommerce. This means that we can fulfil your orders from various channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fulfilment the same as logistics?

Although the concepts of order fulfilment and logistics are related, they are not the same. Fulfilment refers to receiving orders, processing them and shipping products to buyers. Logistics, on the other hand, comprises a broader range of activities necessary to move goods from suppliers to end customers. So, it can be said that order fulfilment is a part of logistics. 

What are the advantages of fulfilment services?

Businesses that decide to work with third-party fulfilment providers can enjoy increased efficiency, lower costs, faster deliveries and increased customer trust. 

At Bezos, for example, we have specialised knowledge and experience in shipments and order processing that can help you improve the effectiveness of your operations. 

What is the difference between shipping and fulfilment?

While fulfilment encompasses several activities related to receiving orders and preparing for delivery, shipping refers specifically to moving goods from a warehouse or distribution centre to the customer. Overall, shipping is one step of the overall fulfilment process.
