## Frequently asked questions

### What does an ecommerce fulfilment company do?

An ecommerce fulfilment company stores, picks, packs and ships orders on behalf of online sellers. At EFCL, this includes pick and pack, pallet storage, container handling, packaging, labelling, barcoding, postage and returns inspection, so sellers can focus on growing their brand rather than running a warehouse themselves.

### Which sales channels can a UK fulfilment company support?

A good UK fulfilment company should integrate with the platforms you sell on. EFCL provides fulfilment for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop, with ecommerce integrations that help orders flow from your store to the warehouse for picking, packing and dispatch.

### What should I look for when choosing a 3PL fulfilment partner?

Look for a 3PL that covers the full range of services your business needs now and as it grows. Useful services include pick and pack, pallet storage, returns handling, labelling, postage, customer support and marketplace integrations. Support with global sourcing, freight and customs clearance can also help brands that import stock.

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

EFCL is based in Manchester and serves online sellers across the United Kingdom. It works as a UK 3PL and ecommerce fulfilment provider, helping businesses store, pack and ship their orders, and also offers 4PL warehouse services for brands wanting broader logistics support.

### Can ecommerce fulfilment companies help new start-ups?

Yes, some fulfilment companies offer support tailored to new businesses. EFCL has a dedicated New Startup Business Package and a free product sourcing consultation, helping start-ups get stock sourced, stored and shipped without needing their own warehouse or logistics team.

### Do fulfilment companies help with importing stock from overseas?

Some do, and EFCL is one of them. Alongside UK fulfilment, EFCL offers global sourcing and logistics, freight and customs clearance, and container handling services, so brands importing products can have goods brought in, unloaded and stored ready for order fulfilment.
