Pallets arrive.
We sort the route.
Stock moves on.
Not every delivery needs long-term warehouse storage. Some stock simply needs a Birmingham receiving point before its next movement.
Spacebox Fulfilment supports pallet transfer and cross-dock handling for ecommerce brands, importers, wholesalers, retail suppliers and marketplace sellers. Goods can arrive for checking, sortation, short-stay holding, preparation or onward handover according to an agreed brief.
Pallet Transfer Review
BOOKING CHECKPallets, cartons, supplier deliveries, mixed stock, retail preparation and short-stay freight.
Move stock without unnecessary storage
Sometimes stock needs a route through the warehouse, not a long stay.
Some goods arrive from a supplier and already have another destination.
They may need to move into fulfilment, reach a retailer, transfer to another warehouse or wait briefly for collection.
Cross-docking gives that stock a defined warehouse route. Spacebox receives the goods against the supplied information, completes the agreed handling work and prepares them for the next movement.
For businesses moving stock through Birmingham and the Midlands, this creates a cleaner handover between inbound delivery and outbound movement.
Three ways to move stock through Spacebox
Choose the route that matches the delivery.
Receive & Hold
For pallets that need short-stay holding before collection, transfer or release.
Supplier deliveries, stock transfers, scheduled collections and temporary holding.
Receive, Sort & Transfer
For stock that needs splitting by SKU, customer, location, order or destination.
Mixed pallets, wholesale stock, multi-location deliveries and retail allocation.
Receive, Prep & Forward
For products that need agreed preparation before onward movement.
Relabelling, carton checks, repacking, marketplace preparation and retail requirements.
Cross-dock support can cover simple movement or light warehouse preparation.
Pricing depends on pallet count, carton volume, labour time, sortation complexity, holding time, materials and onward movement requirements. Every job is priced before goods arrive.
Pallet size, pallet weight, dwell time, vehicle access, delivery window, prohibited goods and any handling limits are confirmed before the booking is accepted.
Match the handling to the job
Transfer, hold, sort, prepare or fulfil. Different stock movements need different warehouse handling. Spacebox agrees the route before arrival so the warehouse team understands what needs to happen when the goods reach Birmingham.

| Pallet Transfer & Cross-Docking | Stock moving from inbound to outbound | Receive, check, transfer |

Plan the movement before arrival
Cross-docking works better when everyone knows the next step.
Spacebox reviews the booking information before stock reaches the warehouse. That includes the delivery details, required handling and planned onward route.
When goods arrive at the Birmingham site, the warehouse team receives them against the supplied information and follows the agreed workflow.
Stock may move into short-stay holding, sortation, preparation, onward collection or the Spacebox fulfilment operation.
Priced around the job
The cost depends on what happens between arrival and release. A straightforward pallet transfer requires different warehouse work from mixed-stock sortation or product preparation. Spacebox prices each job around the handling brief.
