3PL Solutions with Fast, Accurate Fulfilment, Stock Management, and End-to-End SERVICES for Startups & eCommerce Brands
Receiving Goods
Either ship your goods to us, or we’ll collect them for you. Once received at our warehouse, we’ll document each item and upload them into our advanced inventory management system, giving your stock complete visibility.
Warehouse Storage
Once received, your stock will be stored in our 22,000-square-foot warehouse equipped with over 1,000 high rack pallet spaces, designed for secure, organized, and accessible storage.
Order Processing
As your online store receives orders, our system integrations will instantly and automatically process them. We can then feed this data to our warehouse team, who will receive your order.

Why Startups and eCommerce Brands Choose 3PL
When you’re building an online business, every order matters. Customers expect quick dispatch, accurate tracking, and their items to arrive in perfect condition.
Trying to manage this in-house can lead to delays, errors, and higher costs.
By outsourcing to a 3PL provider like Lesters Logistics, you get:
- Professional order handling to improve accuracy and speed
- Access to bulk courier rates for lower delivery costs
- Scalable storage solutions so you only pay for the space you use
- Technology integrations that automate your order flow

Whether you sell clothing, electronics, beauty products, or subscription boxes, our systems are designed to handle high volumes without sacrificing precision.
Fast Delivery That Meets Customer Expectations
In eCommerce, speed can make or break a sale. With our central UK warehouse location, we offer next-day and two-day delivery options to keep your customers happy.

Explore the common questions our partners ask when transitioning to professional fulfillment and logistics services.
Growth is meant to be a good thing – but for many UK businesses it’s exactly when fulfilment starts to creak. Orders increase, SKUs expand, and suddenly fulfilment is being squeezed into office space, spare units, or evenings and weekends.
Over 60% of UK SMEs say operational strain is their biggest barrier to scaling, with fulfilment and logistics cited as one of the top three pressure points.
How Lesters Logistics helps
Lesters Logistics provides ready-to-scale warehousing and fulfilment, designed specifically for growing businesses. Our stock & serve and pick-and-pack services allow you to increase volumes without increasing stress, headcount or overheads.
You focus on growth. We handle the logistics.
Courier costs, inefficient packing, rising fuel charges and one-off pricing deals quickly eat into margins. Without volume leverage, logistics costs often grow faster than revenue.
UK parcel delivery costs have risen by over 20% in the last 3 years, hitting smaller businesses hardest due to lack of scale.
How Lesters Logistics helps
By consolidating volume across multiple clients, Lesters Logistics secures competitive carrier rates, smarter packing methods, and efficient workflows. Costs become predictable, transparent and scalable, protecting margins as you grow.
Poor stock visibility leads to overselling, stockouts, and cash tied up in slow-moving inventory. Many growing businesses still rely on spreadsheets or disconnected systems.
Around 1 in 3 UK SMEs experience stock inaccuracies that directly impact customer satisfaction and cash flow.
How Lesters Logistics helps
Lesters Logistics provides real-time stock visibility, accurate inventory control, and reporting that supports smarter purchasing and forecasting. You always know what’s in stock, what’s moving, and what needs action.
Late dispatch, damaged goods, or slow returns quickly damage trust. As order volumes grow, consistency becomes harder without dedicated logistics expertise.
84% of UK consumers say delivery experience affects whether they buy again, making logistics a direct driver of repeat revenue.
How Lesters Logistics helps
We operate with service-level agreements, quality checks, and structured returns handling. Faster dispatch, professional packing and reliable delivery help protect your brand as you grow.
Many founders worry about losing control or being locked into long-term contracts before they’re ready.
Cash flow is cited as the number one reason UK start-ups fail, making flexibility critical.
How Lesters Logistics helps
Lesters Logistics is built around flexible, scalable models-no unnecessary space, no fixed staffing costs, and no long-term lock-ins. You pay for what you use, when you use it.
