Frequently asked questions
What is direct pallet storage?
Direct pallet storage means keeping your stock on pallets in a dedicated third-party warehouse rather than inside a single marketplace's storage network. With Ecommerce Fulfilment Centre, your pallets are held in our UK warehouse and orders can be picked, packed and shipped from there, giving you one central stock location for all the channels you sell on.
Why choose direct pallet storage instead of marketplace storage?
Direct pallet storage lets you keep one pool of stock that serves every sales channel, instead of tying inventory to a single marketplace. EFCL fulfils orders for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop from the same warehouse, so growing brands can sell across multiple platforms while managing storage, packing, labelling and postage in one place.
Can EFCL still fulfil my Amazon orders if I use pallet storage?
Yes, EFCL can support Amazon sellers while your stock is held in our pallet storage. We offer Amazon 3PL services alongside pick and pack, labelling, barcoding and postage, so you can store stock with us and fulfil Amazon orders as well as orders from Shopify, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce and TikTok Shop.
Where is Ecommerce Fulfilment Centre's warehouse located?
Ecommerce Fulfilment Centre is based in Manchester and serves online sellers across the United Kingdom. From our Manchester base we provide pallet storage, warehouse and storage solutions, container handling, pick and pack, returns and inspection, and postage for ecommerce brands of all sizes, including new start-ups.
Can EFCL handle stock arriving by container from overseas?
Yes, EFCL offers container handling services to unload incoming shipments and move stock into pallet storage. We also support brands with global sourcing, freight and customs clearance, so you can bring products from overseas suppliers into our UK warehouse and have them ready to pick, pack and ship to your customers.
Does EFCL offer help for new ecommerce start-ups?
Yes, EFCL offers a dedicated New Startup Business Package for brands just getting started. Start-ups can also take advantage of a free product sourcing consultation, plus our pallet storage, pick and pack, labelling and postage services, making it easier to launch and grow without managing your own warehouse.
