Do you have to pay Royal Mail’s increased rates?

As Fulfilment Houses such as 3P Logistics operate on behalf of a large number of online retailers, this means that their collective buying power and expertise in negotiating with carriers can bring benefits, which can then be passed onto their clients.

The increases implemented this week by Royal Mail have led online retailers to take another look at their distribution costs and delivery timeframes offered to their customers.  Fulfilment companies can offer a real alternative; not only can distribution costs be lowered, but the overall proposition of an in-house v an outsourced solution can bring enormous benefits in terms of time saved and the refocusing onto vital areas such as sourcing and selling more effectively, through multiple channels.

John Scully, Business Development Manager at 3P Logistics, explains: 

'Clients often arrive at a crossroads, where, to expand their business further, they need to either take on additional resource and space, or outsource on a pay-as you-use basis'.

'The recent hike in Royal Mail’s prices especially affect the small to medium sized online retailer – there are alternatives out there that can not only bring savings but can take their businesses onto new levels.'
