Postage is one of the most important components of the eCommerce fulfilment journey, yet it’s often the least optimised. At EFCL UK Ltd, postage is not treated as an afterthought — it is a core part of our fulfilment strategy. From evaluating your shipping profile to selecting the most cost-effective routes, our approach ensures your parcels arrive on time, in excellent condition, and at the best possible price. Our postage services at EFCL UK ensure every parcel leaves the warehouse efficiently, cost-effectively and with complete tracking visibility.
Whether you’re shipping daily orders throughout the UK or distributing internationally, our postage services at EFCL UK give your business the visibility, control, and efficiency it needs to grow confidently.
Why Postage Matters More Than Ever
Postage directly impacts your brand reputation. Slow, inaccurate, or costly shipping can increase complaints, reduce repeat orders, and erode margins. With customer expectations rising, delivery speed and reliability have become central to every buyer’s experience.
This is why postage must work hand-in-hand with pick and pack processes to ensure consistency from warehouse to doorstep.
A Tailored Postage Strategy Built for Your Business

Here’s what that looks like in practice:
1. Detailed Assessment of Your Shipping Profile
We analyse your order volume, product dimensions, weight categories, destination mix, and seasonal behaviour. This data also connects to our Shopify fulfilment and Amazon 3PL services to ensure multi-platform optimisation.
2. Selecting the Right Carrier and Service
EFCL UK works with a selection of trusted shipping partners. Whether you need next-day delivery, economy UK shipping, tracked courier services, or international export options, we ensure your postage aligns with your customers’ expectations. We work with trusted UK courier networks including services from Royal Mail and DHL to ensure reliable national and international delivery options.
3. Packaging, Handling and Labelling
Shipping efficiency starts with packaging efficiency. Our integrated packaging services reduce dimensional weight, protect fragile goods, and ensure compliance with courier guidelines. This keeps postage costs predictable and parcels protected.
4. Cost Control and Rate Optimisation
Postage is one of the most variable operational costs. EFCL UK continually monitors rates, shipping zones, surcharges, and weight thresholds — providing strategic recommendations to minimise spend while maximising performance.
5. Tracking Visibility and Exception Handling
Once parcels leave our warehouse, visibility becomes critical. EFCL UK provides detailed tracking integrations and flags exceptions early. This allows your team to stay ahead of courier delays, mis-scans or delivery failures.
6. Integrated Returns and Reverse Logistics
Postage must also support the return journey. With our dedicated Return Inspection service, we handle return labels, inbound transit, inspection, and stock reintegration where appropriate.
