Common questions
- How much does a 3PL charge per order in the UK?
- It depends mostly on how many orders you send and how many items are in each one. This calculator charges a rate for picking and packing the first item, adds a rate for each extra item, then adds packaging and standard UK delivery by parcel size. Enter your own volumes to see the range for your business.
- Do UK 3PLs charge for storage by the pallet?
- Many do, and this calculator prices storage per pallet per month. The storage line is your pallets of stock multiplied by the monthly rate, so it stays the same whether that stock sells quickly or slowly.
- What is a 3PL account or minimum fee?
- Some 3PLs charge a fixed monthly amount on top of the charges for each order, either as an account fee or as a minimum spend. Not every 3PL charges one, so it is not in the estimate. The result lists both under What else you should know, with their ranges.
- Does this estimate include delivery to my customers?
- Yes. Standard 2 day UK delivery for your parcel size is part of the estimate. Next day delivery, returns and delivery surcharges are not. The Total Cost of Fulfilment calculator adds returns handling and delivery surcharges.
- Why is the estimate shown as a range?
- Each answer is a band, and prices vary from one 3PL to another. The calculator multiplies a set point in each band by a low and a high market rate, so the result shows the spread you are likely to see across quotes.
