What Is 3PL Fulfilment?

3PL stands for third-party logistics. It means outsourcing your entire fulfilment operation - storage, pick and pack, dispatch, and returns - to a specialist provider who handles it for you. You sell. We ship.

Instead of running your own warehouse, managing your own staff, negotiating your own courier rates, and wrestling with your own technology, a 3PL fulfilment partner takes all of that off your plate. 

Your stock lives in their facility. Their team picks and packs every order. Their technology integrates with your sales channels and keeps your inventory live in real time. 

And your customers receive fast, accurate deliveries with your brand on every box. 3PL fulfilment is your next step to scalability.

Step by Step

The MCF 3PL Process

Package Cardboard Box New Add blue icon.
STEP 01

Stock Arrives

Your inventory is received, quality-checked, and booked into our Warehouse Management System. Every unit is assigned a tracked location. Discrepancies are flagged immediately.

Shopping Basket blue icon.
STEP 02

Orders Come In

A customer places an order on your Shopify store, your Amazon listing, your eBay shop, TikTok Shop, or anywhere else you sell. It syncs to our system automatically. No manual input. No delay.

STEP 03

Pick, Pack and Dispatch

Our team retrieves the correct items, verifies each pick with barcode scanning, and packs the order using your chosen packaging. The parcel is labelled and dispatched on the same day.

Why Brands Choose 3PL Fulfilment

At some point, every growing eCommerce brand hits the same wall. This is the tipping point - the moment where in-house fulfilment limits your growth. 3PL fulfilment removes the headaches.

You gain access to professional warehouse infrastructure without the capital cost of building it, experienced teams and advanced technology without the overhead of employing them, and the ability to scale up during peak periods and scale back down without any operational panic.

And, most importantly, you gain your time back to focus on the things that actually grow your business.

The brands that move to 3PL fulfilment at the right moment don't look back. Brands that wait too long spend months catching up on the growth they could have achieved.

3PL Fulfilment Pricing

MCF operates on a pay-as-you-go model, so you pay for what you use, nothing more. A typical 3PL pricing structure covers three areas.

Storage based on the space your stock actually occupies. MCF offers quarter pallet, half pallet, shelf, and bulk location rates, so the price always reflects how your stock moves.

Pick and pack, charged per order or per item, depending on your product profile. And outbound shipping, passed through at our negotiated carrier rates.

eCommerce Returns

Easy Returns Management

Customers return products for many reasons. In fact, the average return rate of online retailers increased by 20% recently, and this will continue to grow as the eCommerce space continues to boom.

Slow or poor returns equal unhappy customers and bad reviews. MCF handles your returns with a proven system, so your customers enjoy a fast, responsive return experience.

A slick returns process is no longer a nice-to-have. It's a sales tool. Shoppers actively check return policies before they buy, and a seamless experience turns a potential one-off purchase into a repeat customer. At MCF, we inspect, sort, restock, or dispose of returned items according to your instructions, keeping your inventory accurate and your customers coming back.
