Sound familiar?

Your brand is growing. Your evenings aren't.

Somewhere between 10 and 300 orders a day, fulfilment quietly becomes your whole job. You didn't start a brand to run a warehouse.

19:45, Tuesday

Still packing

The kitchen table is a packing bench again. Every sale is good news that costs you another twenty minutes.

08:10, launch day

Too big to DIY

A good promo now means a bad week. You can't take a holiday, get ill, or focus on marketing without dispatch slipping.

Week 3, no reply

Too small for big 3PLs

The big fulfilment houses want huge minimums and answer emails in days. You want a person, not a ticket number.

How it works

From your store to their door — without you touching a box

Step 1 · Once

Send us your stock

Book your stock in by pallet or carton, along with your own boxes and packaging. We receive, count, barcode and shelve it — and you can see your inventory from day one.

Step 2 · ~10 mins

We access your store

You add us as a staff account on your Shopify admin. No exports, no spreadsheets, no middleman software — we work directly from your order list each day.

Step 3 · Every day

We pick, pack, dispatch

Orders are picked, packed and ready to leave within one working day on your Royal Mail, DPD, Evri or FedEx account — in your packaging, packed with care.

Step 4 · Every order

Customers get tracking

We mark each order fulfilled and add tracking directly in your Shopify admin, so customers get notified exactly as they would if you'd packed it yourself.

We work inside your Shopify admin

We fulfil from your Shopify store, because we run one too

  • You add us as a staff account — no separate software, no API to maintain
  • We pick, pack and mark orders fulfilled directly in your admin
  • Inventory levels update in real time — no overselling
  • Returns processed, inspected and restocked
  • Works with your existing apps, bundles and flows

What you get

30 years of dispatch know-how. Small-team service.

We've been picking and packing since before Shopify existed — and we've kept the thing most 3PLs lose as they grow: actually caring about every parcel.

Service

A named account manager

One person who knows your products, your packaging and your peak days. Call or message them directly — no call centres, no ticket queues.

Speed

Quick dispatch

Orders are turned around fast — typically shipped within one working day. Quick delivery is some of the cheapest marketing you'll ever buy.

Flexibility

No scary minimums

Start with a few shelves, scale to pallet racking. Grow at your pace — we're built for 10 to 300+ orders a day.

Brand

Your unboxing, protected

Send us your own boxes, tissue, inserts and handwritten-feel touches — we pack every order the way you would. Kitting and bundles included.

Couriers

Your own courier accounts

We ship on your existing Royal Mail, DPD, Evri or FedEx account — no mark-up on postage. As our combined collection volume grows, we periodically negotiate better rates and pass any savings straight to you.

Trust

Three decades of dispatch

We've shipped through every era of mail order since the mid-1990s. Secure, insured UK warehouse, barcode-level accuracy, and full visibility of your stock.

Pricing

Simple pricing. Four line items. No mystery quotes.

You pay for exactly four things — nothing hidden, nothing padded. Because every brand's products and order profile are different, we price each one properly rather than publishing one-size-fits-nobody rates.

What you pay forWhat's included
Goods inReceiving, counting, barcoding and shelving your stock — priced per pallet or carton
StorageSecure, insured UK warehousing, billed weekly per pallet or shelf — only pay for the space you use
Pick & packA simple per-order rate for the first item, plus a small per-item rate for extras in the same order
ShippingSent on your own courier account (Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, FedEx) at your existing rates — no mark-up. We periodically negotiate reductions from single-location collections and pass the savings to you
Your packagingYou supply your branded boxes, mailers and inserts — we store them alongside your stock and pack every order in them

Send us a bit about your store and rough daily order volume, and you'll have a tailored quote within one working day — on a single page, in plain English, with no obligation.

"We've been shipping mail order since the mid-1990s — back when it was magazine ads, phone orders and a lot of paperwork. Shopify just made it faster."

TodayFulfilling orders directly from other brands' Shopify stores

Packhouse Fulfilment isn't a startup guessing at logistics. Behind it is All Terrain Cycles Limited — a real UK retailer that has been picking, packing and dispatching mail order for nearly 30 years.

We started in the mid-1990s, when "ecommerce" meant an ad in a magazine, a ringing phone, and order forms filled in by hand. We've dispatched through every era since — catalogue, fax, early web, and for the last three-plus years, Shopify, where our own store now runs day to day.

That history matters. We already know what a launch-day spike feels like, why the unboxing is part of your brand, what a "where's my order?" email costs you — and how much trust it takes to hand someone your entire inventory. Bikes and parts taught us to ship everything from a tiny inner tube to big, awkward boxes, accurately and fast.

We're not the biggest fulfilment house in the UK. We're the one that's been doing this the longest way before it was fashionable — and we treat your orders like our own, because ours go out the same door.
