Food & Drink Logistics
Selling food and drink online comes with unique challenges. Shelf life management, batch tracking, and safe storage conditions are non-negotiable. Your food and drink fulfilment partner needs to get it right every time.
MCF operates from secure, clean UK warehouses purpose-built for food and drink storage. We manage FIFO (first in, first out) stock rotation, batch and expiry date tracking, and allergen-separated storage for your food and drink products. Whether you sell coffee, protein bars, sauces, or craft beverages, our food and drink fulfilment team handles your inventory with care.
We connect directly with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, and 100+ other platforms, so your food and drink orders flow in automatically and ship out the same day.
Gifting is where food and drink brands win their biggest margins. Hampers, tasting sets and seasonal boxes are assembled in our warehouse to your build sheet, quality checked, and held ready for the Christmas surge. Multipacks and case quantities are handled just as comfortably as single jars.
Speed is stock control in this category. The faster an order with a date code leaves the shelf, the less waste you write off at the end of the quarter. Same-day dispatch is not a nice-to-have here, it is margin protection.

Only Pay For What You Use
We select the most efficient storage type for you, according to your inventory size and order volume.
Small, fast-moving items go into pick storage, ready for quick delivery. We measure the size of the items when goods arrive, so you only pay for the space you need. We offer quarter or half pallet rates and shelf rates for items to cut your overhead.

Safe, Compliant Shipping
Food and drink customers expect their orders to arrive quickly and in perfect condition. Damaged packaging, crushed goods, or late food and drink deliveries lead to refund requests and lost trust.
At MCF, we understand the specific packaging requirements for food and drink fulfilment. From leak-proof wrapping and cushioned inserts to temperature-aware dispatch scheduling, every food and drink order is packed to protect your products in transit.
Whether you ship food and drink B2C direct to consumers or B2B to retailers, cafes, and restaurants, MCF gives you one reliable food and drink fulfilment partner for every sales channel.
Glass changes the packing conversation. Bottles are sleeved or divided, never left to rub shoulders in transit, and cases are packed to carrier weight limits rather than to guesswork. Breakage rates stay low because the packaging decision is made per product, not per policy.
Many of our food and drink brands sell both direct to consumers and into trade. We run both from the same stock pool, single orders through the parcel networks and wholesale cases out by pallet, with one accurate inventory behind it all.

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.

FAQ
Food & Drink Fulfilment FAQs
Common questions about our food and drink fulfilment services.
Yes. Our UK warehouses provide clean, dry, ambient storage suitable for non-perishable food and drink products. We follow strict hygiene standards and manage FIFO stock rotation to ensure your food and drink inventory is always dispatched in date order.
Absolutely. Our warehouse management system tracks every food and drink SKU by batch number and expiry date. This ensures we always pick the oldest stock first and gives you full traceability across your food and drink inventory.
Yes, subscription box fulfilment is one of our specialities. We handle kitting, custom packaging, and recurring food and drink orders. Each subscription box is assembled to your exact specification and dispatched on schedule.
We offer a range of food and drink packaging solutions including branded boxes, eco-friendly void fill, leak-proof wrapping, and cushioned inserts for glass bottles. We can also include promotional inserts, recipe cards, or discount codes with your food and drink orders.
MCF integrates with over 100 eCommerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, and Etsy. Food and drink orders sync automatically, inventory updates in real time, and tracking information is pushed to your customers instantly.
Yes. Hampers, advent calendars and tasting boxes are built in-house to your specification, including tissue, shred and gift messaging. Most brands send us components in early autumn so finished hampers are shelf-ready before the Christmas rush starts.
Bottles travel in fitted dividers or moulded pulp inserts inside double-walled cartons. Mixed orders are packed so glass never sits against tins or heavy items. The result is a breakage rate that protects both your margin and your reviews.
Yes. We pick single customer orders and trade cases from the same stock, so you never juggle two inventories. Wholesale orders are palletised and booked into your stockists, while daily consumer orders carry on uninterrupted.
Yes. Cans and bottles are built into multipacks and mixed cases to your build sheet, whether that is a curated six-bottle selection or a subscription crate. Case weights are checked against carrier limits before dispatch, and heavier trade volumes move out by pallet, so a mixed dozen and a full crate each travel the right way.
