Benefits of outsourcing to a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) and Fulfilment system
Selling things is fun. Every time someone purchases something from your online shop you might feel a bit of a buzz, or get excited to start seeing the $$$ rolling in.
What’s not always fun is packing the orders, tracking them, dealing with returns, keeping stock organised and safe…. So why try and do it all yourself?
This is where a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) and Fulfilment service can be your knight in shining armour.
How does a third-Party Logistics (3PL) and Fulfilment service work?
Your customers will likely have expectations and do hold a fair bit of power. Therefore, efficient order fulfillment is key to your sales results and your brand reputation.
The sale is the ‘easy’ part. Now you need to fulfill the order and manage the lifecycle of the purchase (delivery, any returns, etc).
So here we come in! Our team at Quickmail are dedicated and skilled in:
Order Fulfilment
Quickmail’s Fulfilment service takes care of all the handling, picking, and packing of your orders allowing you the time to grow your business. We have NO minimum order quantity (MOQ).
Product Management (Inventory Management)
GetQuickmail.com, our Online System which gives you real-time access to stock levels – with low stock notifications and inventory reporting you will be able to keep track of every single item in storage.
Picking & Packing Orders
Our team will pick your orders and pack them to ensure your items arrive in pristine condition. We offer a range of packaging solutions and can work with you to ensure that the ‘unboxing experience’ is one your clients will remember for all the right reasons.

Returns & Exchanges (Reverse Logistics)
Offering an easy return and exchange process for customers is essential in today’s competitive e-commerce landscape. We can receive returns on your behalf, add them back into storage, and ship exchanges.
Dropshipping

So, while you could manage much of the order fulfillment process yourself if you have a well-organized warehouse, depending on the size of your business, you will benefit from a more complex, multi-layer distribution strategy.
In either case, the main goal is efficiently getting the customer what they ordered as quickly, reliably, and inexpensively as possible.
