		<description><![CDATA[Postage and Packaging The fulfilment house will always be able to beat your costs on these. Large postal and courier accounts mean the best price, and equally purchasing high volumes of packaging keep costs down. Product Types and Mix Packing one order correctly is easy, but the task can get very tedious and even with the best will in the world mistakes will happen. Doing it yourself, using a logical system you might expect to dispatch 1 in 100 orders incorrectly, an average fulfilment house will achieve 99.6-99.9% accuracy due to additional checks and systems such as barcoding (at the time of writing Six&#8217;s accuracy is currently 100.0%). Every mistake is likely to be very costly in both additional labour and postage; but more importantly customer loyalty &#8211; the best fulfilment houses will guarantee to cover the costs of their mistakes. If you have clearly defined products, for example in regular consumer packaging, then outsourced fulfilment is likely to be cheaper than doing it in-house as the economies of scale in operating specialised picking and packing are generally large. Those selling bespoke, one off&#8217;s or irregular items (for example, customised goods or vintage clothing) may find that the model simply isn&#8217;t compatible. Fulfilment houses will request that every product is added to their system and clearly identifiable &#8211; something that is likely to add an additional level of administration when handling such products. Heavy and large items are likely to attract additional handling fees, though the costs of handling these good yourself will be equally higher. If the fulfilment house manages heavy items on a regular basis then they may have more specialised equipment for dealing with it.   If you sell fairly standard items with a few customisations, it is still likely to be beneficial to outsource but this is something that will require more analysis. Time is Money Something that many companies don&#8217;t appreciate until they subcontract their fulfilment is the amount of time is frees up, relieving not just the packing but also a lot of other issues such as storage, customer returns and dealing with tracking information. With a service such as that offered by Six, all the data you need to respond to any query is available at a touch of a button and presented in a way that&#8217;s easy to understand, making it much easier to just get things done. Flexibility and Load If you&#8217;re business ships 50 orders a day, every day then this is not an issue for you; but unfortunately real businesses don&#8217;t work like this! The ability to have additional staff to hand when you have peaks in demand not only mean that you don&#8217;t have to scramble around trying to find additional packing space and labour, but also ensures the customer gets their order on time (Six always aim to get all orders placed before 3pm out the same day). The more campaigns you run and the higher the fluctuation in your orders, the more cost effective outsourced fulfilment [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When deciding whether to manage your own warehouse operations or invest in outsourced fulfilment services, there are a number of issues to consider and it is something which many e-commerce businesses have to think about. It&#8217;s true that if you manage your own warehouse operations rather than using outsourced fulfilment services, there are some advantages in some circumstances. These include: It makes you feel more in control of your own business You can use any kind of technology/software etc. that you choose It&#8217;s possible to set up your own systems You can choose delivery services and other third-party suppliers You are not reliant on anyone else to keep your service going and get your goods delivered.

Outsourcing the services can result in significant cost savings.

Working with an outsourced provider allows you to cope better with seasonality, the ebb and flow of business and any change in direction. It&#8217;s also very important to note that order fulfilment companies can secure large discounts on freight because of the volume of goods that they handle for other companies as well as yours. Efficient processes Order fulfilment firms are experts in storing, picking, packing and distributing e-commerce goods as it is what they specialise in and they&#8217;re constantly developing their services. It would take time, effort and continual development to get your warehouse up to the same standard. You&#8217;ll be given a contact at your fulfilment company and regular updates on the progress of orders etc. A customer service centre means that staff at the fulfilment firm will be able to take orders by phone and deal with any enquiries. Outsourced fulfilment services: What&#8217;s available? The following services are all available and more. A good service provider will be able to create a tailored package for you. Available services include: Processing and printing – Including, data entry, parcel labels, letters and delivery notes Warehousing and distribution – Including product storage, distribution handling and delivery Call centre – Including contact centre to handle all aspects of customer care including phone orders and enquiries.
