Frequently Asked Questions on UK 3PL Fulfilment
Practical answers to help overseas exporters, buyers, and brand owners optimise their logistics contracts.
How does Hemisphere's port-centric 3PL location benefit overseas importers?
Our fulfilment hubs at Port One and Ipswich sit directly on prime transport corridors adjacent to the Port of Felixstowe. This eliminates costly long-distance container haulage from the quay, minimises demurrage charges, and allows containers to be unloaded and checked into inventory within hours of ship discharge.
What level of order picking accuracy and dispatch speed do you provide?
Our operations consistently maintain a verified 99%+ picking accuracy rate with automated barcode-guided workflows. We execute a 95% same-day dispatch rate for orders received prior to agreed daily cut-off times, including during peak holiday trading seasons.
Can your Warehouse Management System (WMS) connect with our ecommerce platform?
Yes. Our enterprise WMS integrates via native API connectors with Shopify, Amazon, Magento, SAP, Oracle, and other popular inventory suites. This provides instant stock updates, automated order processing, and tracking feedback without manual intervention.
Do you offer bonded storage for goods entering the UK before final clearance?
Yes. We hold HMRC customs-bonded warehouse authorization across our facilities. This enables overseas shippers to store imported goods in the UK while deferring customs duty and import VAT until final purchase and dispatch.
