Having built our own direct-to-customer ecommerce brands and expanded from the UK to the US, we know about the challenges faced by online businesses looking for a reliable third party logistics (3PL) provider. When we launched our fulfilment operation in Wales - Eirios - we wanted it to be different. Not massive warehouses, anonymous staff and invoices with 20 line items, but a personalised service where your brand gets the attention and care it deserves. Our unique ecommerce experience also means we can share insights regarding operations and marketing for smaller brands looking to grow, including assisting those looking to take the brave leap of international expansion.
You've nurtured your brand through its early stages and are now looking for a 3PL which can give your orders as much care as you do. You want a location you can visit, a founder you can meet, and pricing that's fair and simple.
