Whether you’re a small, independent retailer or a well-established retail power, choosing the right fulfilment partner for your business is essential if you want to enjoy a seamless customer-company relationship.

But opting for an unproven or unreliable fulfilment partner can be the difference between a thriving enterprise and a slew of lost customers and a soured reputation.

Fulfilment services and centres fulfil customer orders by storing products safely before prepping them and shipping them out once ordered.  It sounds simple, but complexities in the fulfilment process mean you need to do your research if you’re looking to onboard fulfilment services for the first time or if you want to jump ship to a new partner.

At FDC Holdings, we’re an experienced and thoroughly reliable UK provider of order fulfilment services, having operated from our 300,000+ sqft fulfilment warehouse and operations centre in Lancashire for decades, serving business customers across the country.

So get in touch with the FDC team today if you’re interested in our reliable shipping solutions, fulfilment services, warehousing services and more, or if you’d like to know more about factors like fulfilment costs.

Things to look out for when choosing a UK fulfilment service

Location

When considering a company to fulfil orders for you, your first thought may be to choose a provider that’s close to your business headquarters.

This might be good for familiarity and ease of contact, but it’s not always necessary.

Instead, you may wish to focus on choosing a fulfilment company that has ready and available access to numerous parts of the country; specifically, parts of the country your business performs well in.

Keep fulfilment providers close to major cities and motorways in mind, as these are the ones who will have pre-conditioned access to essential transport routes and other advantages providers in more obscure locations simply don’t have.

At FDC Holdings, we’re situated directly at a crossroads between heavily-used motorways the M6, M65, and M61, giving us easy access to the entirety of the North West and beyond.

So no matter where in the country your goods need to go, it pays to know we can get them on the road in rapid time.

Scalability

If your business is enjoying a steady upward trajectory, you’ll need to account for the fact you can expect a lot more orders heading your way in the future.

Smaller businesses can fall into the trap of partnering with equally-small fulfilment service providers who have the capacity to deal with customer orders at their current level, but who fail to meet demand as the business expands.

It’s when this occurs that growing businesses can experience stagnating customer order dispatches and deliveries – something to avoid if they want to uphold a stellar reputation (more on that in a moment).

But at FDC Holdings, we can accommodate your fulfilment needs both now and in the future, from our impressive storage and warehousing facility in Preston, Lancashire.

With multiple storage options and plenty of space available to host a range of goods, we’re your number one choice for prompt fulfilment as your business reaches new and exciting heights.

Reputation

They say a good word can spread across a thousand miles. Whether that’s true or just an over-the-top saying, there’s no doubt social proof is a great indicator of which businesses you can rely on and, more importantly, which businesses you can’t.

If you’ve found a fulfilment partner (you think) you’re happy with, and you haven’t looked into their past or checked out their reviews, make sure you do. Otherwise, you may end up joining forces with someone who’s impressed you with a lot of bells and whistles, but who fails to deliver (literally) when the moment strikes.

At FDC Holdings, customer satisfaction is at the heart of what we do. We have decades of positive experience and plenty of positive customer reviews we’ve amassed over the years. So you know you can trust us to fulfil your customer orders from numerous sales channels quickly, safely, and professionally – every time.
