Our fulfillment solutions cover everything from warehousing and inventory management to picking, packing, and shipping orders directly to your customers. With UK e-commerce sales hitting $128 billion in 2024 (about £100+ billion) and making up over 30% of retail spendingsearchhog.co.uk, the volume of orders to fulfill is enormous and continually growing.

We leverage a distributed network of fulfillment centers (through strategic partners) to store your products closer to customers for faster delivery. When an order comes in through your online store or marketplace, our integrated systems instantly process it – the item is picked from stock, carefully packed, and shipped out with the optimal carrier, all within tight SLAs (often same-day or next-day dispatch). We also manage bulk distribution to carrier hubs or local delivery depots, optimising the linehaul so that final-mile couriers can do what they do best quickly.
With X2 (UK)’s e-commerce fulfillment, you can offer speedy delivery options UK-wide, including next-day and even same-day in some areas, without investing in your own warehouses or fleet. Plus, our 4PL model means we continuously optimize your fulfillment costs by tapping into multiple carriers and services. Delight your online customers with reliable fulfillment – X2 (UK) can make it happen. Contact us to discuss outsourcing your e-commerce fulfillment so you can focus on selling while we handle the rest.
Seamless Fulfillment from Cart to Customer:
Here’s how X2 (UK) elevates your e-commerce logistics:
- Strategic Warehousing: We position inventory in one or multiple warehouses based on where your customers are. For example, if a large portion of your orders come from London and the South East, we ensure stock is held in a facility in that region. For national coverage, we might use a northern and a southern warehouse. This reduces transit times and shipping costs. Our warehousing partners provide secure, clean storage with systems that integrate into our order management, so stock levels are updated in real time as orders flowx2uk.comx2uk.com. We also accommodate special storage needs – from climate control for delicate items to high-security for valuable goods.
- Order Processing & Accuracy: We know that an accurate order is as important as a fast one. X2 (UK)’s fulfillment centers use barcode scanning and quality checks at pick/pack stage to virtually eliminate errors. Whether you sell fashion (with multi-SKU orders), electronics, or FMCG, our trained staff ensures the right items, colours, sizes, etc., go into each box. We can even handle light assembly or kitting if your orders require it (for example, bundling products or adding promotional inserts). By maintaining high pick accuracy, we keep your customers happy and your return costs low.
- Multi-Carrier Shipping Solutions: We don’t rely on just one delivery company – we utilize a network of trusted couriers and postal services (Royal Mail, DPD, DHL, Hermes/Evri, and more) to get the best combination of speed and cost for each package. Our system can dynamically choose the ideal service for each order based on factors like weight, destination, and your promised delivery date. This multi-carrier approach not only optimizes cost but also provides resilience (if one carrier faces delays or capacity issues, we can switch to another). All shipments come with tracking, and we provide those tracking numbers back to you/your customers seamlessly. It’s a level of service that might be hard to negotiate on your own, but as a 4PL, X2 (UK) has the volume leverage to secure excellent rates and priority servicesverifiedmarketresearch.com.
- Scalability and Peak Management: The beauty of outsourcing fulfillment to X2 (UK) is that we handle the peaks and troughs. If your order volume doubles during a holiday season or a flash sale, we ramp up by adding more manpower and shifts at the warehouse, and reserving extra courier capacity – orders still go out on time. When volumes dip, you’re not stuck with idle staff or space; you only pay for what you use. This scalability is invaluable in e-commerce, where growth can be explosive and peaks like Black Friday can be many times your usual volume. Our experience with seasonal surges means we plan early (securing enough packaging materials, for example, and staging carriers) so that even in the busiest times, your customers get their orders without delay.
- Returns Handling (Reverse Logistics): A key part of e-commerce fulfillment is dealing with returns efficiently. X2 (UK) can manage your returns by receiving unwanted items back at our centers, inspecting and refurbishing or restocking them as appropriate, and updating your inventory. A smooth returns process not only saves you headaches but actually builds customer loyalty. We can even provide options like pre-paid return labels and consolidation of return shipments to reduce costs. (For more on this, see our Reverse Logistics section below.)
In summary, X2 (UK) provides a turnkey fulfillment operation – you get enterprise-level logistics infrastructure without the capital expense or management burden. Many of our e-commerce clients have found that outsourcing fulfillment allowed them to scale faster, expand into new markets, and maintain service quality, all while controlling costs.
We also emphasise technology integration: our IT team can integrate our system with your online store or marketplace platforms (through APIs, etc.), so orders flow to us automatically and tracking info flows back to your system/customer notifications. This ensures a seamless experience from the shopper’s perspective – they order, and soon after they get a dispatch notice with tracking, thanks to the machinery we’ve set in motion behind the scenes.
