Finding a 3PL in the UK

Updated 2026-10-31

UK shoppers are used to quick delivery, so cut-off times and carrier choice matter a lot. If you also sell into the EU, that's its own question.

Browse 3PLs based in the United Kingdom in our directory.

Selling into the EU from the UK

Since Brexit, parcels from the UK to EU customers go through customs. Ask how the 3PL handles customs paperwork and duties, and whether they can ship from an EU warehouse as well. Some stores keep stock on both sides. See finding a 3PL in Europe.

Things to check

Cut-off time for next-day services.
Which carriers they use for tracked and untracked parcels.
Returns handling, since UK shoppers return a fair bit in some categories.
Whether they can do retail or B2B orders if you sell wholesale.
