Know What The Warehouse
Needs To Handle Before We Price It.
Fulfilment pricing depends on more than orders per month.
Spacebox looks at what you sell, how much stock you hold, how orders need packing, which channels you use and what happens when products arrive or come back.
That gives you a quote based on the warehouse work behind your operation rather than a headline rate that leaves important costs unclear.
Your Quote Starts With
Main CriteriaFulfilment priced around one Birmingham operation.
Main warehouse activities identified before setup.
Costs reflect the stock and work involved.
Requirements discussed before stock moves.

The Way Your Stock Moves.
Two businesses sending the same number of orders may create completely different warehouse workloads.
One may ship a single lightweight SKU. Another may carry hundreds of products, require branded packing and receive regular returns.
Spacebox starts with the workflow rather than forcing every seller into the same rate card.
• Monthly order volume
• Average items per order
• SKU count
• Product dimensions and weight
• Stock volume
• Sales channels
• Packing requirements
• Returns activity
Each Cost Line
Has A Warehouse Job Behind It.
Stock Receiving
Receiving, checking and placing inbound products into the agreed warehouse route.
Storage
Based on the amount and type of warehouse space your stock requires.
Pick & Pack
Based on order structure, item count and the work needed to prepare each parcel.
Product Prep
Labelling, kitting, bundling, repacking or other agreed preparation where required.
Courier Movement
Based on parcel profile, destination and the delivery service selected.
Returns
Based on receiving, checking, restocking, holding or other agreed return handling.
A Better Brief
Leads To A Better Quote.
You do not need a perfect spreadsheet before talking to Spacebox. A practical overview of your operation gives the team enough information to start identifying the warehouse work involved.
Your Products
Product type, dimensions, weight and handling requirements.
Your SKUs
Current catalogue size and planned additions.
Your Orders
Typical monthly volume and average items per order.
Your Stock
How much inventory you normally hold and how goods arrive.
Your Channels
Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop, eBay, WooCommerce, DTC or other routes.
Your Packing
Standard packaging, inserts, branded materials or additional preparation.
Your Returns
Expected return volume and the route returned stock needs to follow.
A Low Headline Rate
Does Not Show The Full Cost.
Fulfilment quotes become difficult to compare when one provider includes an activity and another charges for it separately. Look beyond one pick-and-pack figure and check how the full operation will appear on the invoice.
How Is Storage Charged?
Understand what counts as occupied space and how the charging method works.
What Counts As Extra Preparation?
Check whether labelling, bundling, inserts or repacking sit outside normal fulfilment.
How Are Returns Priced?
Confirm what receiving, inspection and restocking involve.
What Packaging Is Included?
Understand which materials form part of the standard route and which carry an additional cost.
How Does Courier Pricing Work?
Check how parcel size, weight, destination and service affect shipping.
What Happens When The Account Changes?
Ask how new SKUs, channels or packing requirements affect the agreed setup.
Keep Charges Connected
To The Work Agreed.
Spacebox reviews the main cost areas before onboarding so the proposed warehouse route and pricing make sense together.
Fulfilment Activity
Pick-and-pack work reflects the agreed order profile.
Storage
Warehouse space follows the stock profile agreed for the account.
Preparation
Additional labelling, kitting or repacking is scoped before the work begins.
Returns
Return-handling costs reflect the checks and stock route required.
Courier Costs
Shipping depends on the parcel and delivery service used.
Changes
New requirements can be reviewed before they become part of normal warehouse activity.
Some Accounts Need More
Than Standard Pick And Pack.
A seller moving simple customer orders needs a different setup from a brand with subscription packs, expiry-controlled stock or regular marketplace preparation. Spacebox can combine the services required without treating every account as identical.
Store It
Storage, pallet movement, expiry and lot control, and stock visibility.
Prep It
Contract packing, kitting, labelling, bundling and presentation requirements.
Ship It
DTC and marketplace fulfilment across supported ecommerce channels.
Take It Back
Returns connected to fulfilment or handled through a standalone returns route.
