Discover how much you can save by replacing your existing distribution centre - by outsourcing you are doing away with costs such as high maintenance, staffing & insurance - pick and pack services, uk warehousing, stock management, commercial storage,


The cost of running a warehouse/s or transport division can be mammoth, especially when you take into account Health & Safety requirements, depreciation, staff wages and training, regular repairs, maintenance and growing insurance premiums. But for the VDepot's third party fulfillment service to work, it has to be economical for your business – so – how affordable will it be?

Ask your FD to come up with the warehousing and logistics costs you currently operate with. Then put them into this chart and see if you too have a better option!

How will the pricing work out for my business?

Example based on current pricing structure (subject to change): A single pallet is stored for 3 weeks. It is then split into 4 equal deliveries weighing no more than 10Kg each. Each one is delivered to a city within the UK, the following day. Cost? Pallet In = £2.50, 3 weeks storage = £15, picking & packing parcel = (4 x £2) £8, next day delivery = (4 x £9.99) £39.96. Total cost for storage, handling and delivery = £65.46 Compare that to rent, wages, fork truck rental, admin then ask and how many parcels do you have to send before you break even???

All you would have asked us to do is ‘pick and pack’ the items for delivery. No hassles, no time wasted, only the very basic administration requirements.
