Temporary Fulfilment — Use Us Only When You Need Us
You do not have to outsource fulfilment permanently. ProFulfil can simply cover the period when you need help — whether that is two weeks, a busy month, or longer.
Need us for two weeks? That's fine. Need us permanently? That's fine too.
Going on holiday? Your online shop does not have to. 😄
Send us your stock and we will pick, pack and dispatch your orders while you are away. When you are ready to take fulfilment back in-house, that is absolutely fine — no awkward conversations, no penalties.
Temporary fulfilment is ideal for…
UK ecommerce sellers who need professional fulfilment support for a defined period — without the overhead of a permanent arrangement.
Holiday cover
Going away? Your online shop does not have to close. Send us your stock before you leave and we will keep your orders moving while you are on the beach.
Seasonal & Christmas peaks
The Christmas rush, summer sales, Black Friday — temporary fulfilment support means you can handle the volume without taking on permanent staff or warehouse space.
Promotions & product launches
Launching a new product or running a big promotion? We can step in to handle the spike in orders so your customers get a great experience from day one.
Unexpected order spikes
Gone viral? Featured in the press? Sometimes volume arrives without warning. We can take the pressure off quickly so you do not fall behind on dispatch.
Temporary staff shortages
Staff illness, holidays or gaps in your team can leave you short-handed at the worst times. We can cover your fulfilment while you get back up to strength.
Trialling outsourced fulfilment
Not sure if outsourcing is right for you? Use us temporarily and find out — no long-term commitment, no pressure. Many sellers who start this way choose to stay.
How temporary fulfilment works
Get in touch
Tell us about your business, your products and the period you need cover for. We will confirm we can accommodate you and talk through the details.
Send us your stock
Ship your products to our Bolton fulfilment centre. We will receive, check and store them ready for dispatch.
We fulfil your orders
Your orders come in and we pick, pack and dispatch them on your behalf — at the same standard you would expect from your own operation.
Take back control whenever you are ready
When your cover period ends, you can take fulfilment back in-house, arrange for your stock to be returned, or simply carry on with us. Your choice, no pressure.
The same service. The same standards.
Temporary fulfilment at ProFulfil is not a cut-down service. You get exactly the same professional fulfilment operation as our long-term clients — pick and pack, storage, shipping and returns handling.
The only difference is the duration. You are in control of how long you use us — and when you are done, you are done. No lock-in, no minimum term.
Common questions
Is there a minimum period?
No. There is no minimum contract length. Whether you need cover for a fortnight or several months, get in touch and we will see what we can do.
What happens to my stock when I want to stop?
When your cover period ends, you can arrange for your stock to be returned to you, or simply continue with us if you have found it works well. We will not pressure you either way.
How quickly can you get started?
Get in touch as early as possible — especially for holiday cover or seasonal peaks. The more notice you give us, the smoother the setup. We will be honest with you about lead times.
What platforms do you support?
We work with all major ecommerce platforms including Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Amazon and TikTok Shop. If you are on a different platform, just ask.
Do I need to use my own packaging?
You can use your own branded packaging or purchase ours. Either works — just let us know when you get in touch.
Tell us what you need
Drop us a message with a bit of detail about your situation — what you sell, roughly how many orders you get, and the period you need cover for. We will come back to you quickly.
