## Frequently asked questions

### What is the EFCL Business Academy?

The EFCL Business Academy is a resource section on the Ecommerce Fulfilment Centre website that covers topics such as 3PL operations. EFCL is a Manchester-based UK 3PL and ecommerce fulfilment provider that helps online sellers store, pack and ship their orders, so the Academy focuses on the practical side of running fulfilment for an online business.

### What are 3PL operations?

3PL operations are the logistics tasks a third-party provider handles for an online seller, such as storing stock, picking and packing orders, labelling and arranging postage. At EFCL, these operations also include pallet storage, container handling, and returns and inspection, giving ecommerce businesses across the UK a way to outsource fulfilment rather than managing it themselves.

### Which sales channels does EFCL fulfil orders for?

EFCL fulfils orders for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop. The company also offers ecommerce integrations, so sellers using these platforms can connect their stores to EFCL's 3PL fulfilment service in the UK and have orders picked, packed, labelled and posted on their behalf.

### Does EFCL support new start-up businesses?

Yes, EFCL offers a dedicated New Startup Business Package for new online sellers. Alongside this, start-ups can access a free product sourcing consultation, global sourcing support, and freight and customs clearance services, which helps new brands set up their supply chain as well as their ecommerce fulfilment from one UK provider.

### Can EFCL handle imports and container deliveries?

Yes, EFCL provides container handling services alongside freight and customs clearance. This means growing brands importing stock can have goods cleared, delivered and unloaded into EFCL's warehouse, then stored on pallets and fulfilled as orders come in, all managed by the same UK 3PL fulfilment team.

### Where is EFCL based and which areas does it serve?

EFCL is based in Manchester and serves online sellers across the United Kingdom. From its warehouse, the team provides ecommerce fulfilment services including pick and pack, pallet storage, returns, packaging, labelling and postage for businesses selling on major marketplaces and their own online stores.
