Fulfilment centers are central locations where products are stored and packaged and when orders are received they are shipped to customers.  This service is provided to other businesses for a fee.

 

The benefits of a fulfilment center is that as a small business you do not have to bear the enormous cost of establishing a warehouse and order processing operation.  The companies that provides this kind of service have the industry knowledge and experience that you lack.

 

If you have a product to sell avoid he headache and cost that comes with warehousing and order processing and let someone else do that for you.  All you have to do is get the product manufactured and sent to them, then you can focus on sales, marketing and coming up with new great product ideas. 

 

Because fulfilment centers conduct thousands of shipments per month this entitles them the bulk shipping rates which lets them ship your items at lest cost.

 

You can manage your cost and get the best fee by negotiating for a flat-rate such as a single fee based on weight and service, as opposed to weight, service and destination. 

 

Fulfilment centers charge fees per order or per item shipped.  There may also be hidden fees for receiving merchandise, process returned items, international shipments, etc.  Be sure to inquire about hidden fees.

 

Damaged products delivered or poor delivery service provided by the fulfilment center can hurt your company's reputation.  You can guard against this by paying attention to customer feedback and returns.

 

Some manufacturers also provides this service.  If you can find a manufacturer that can manufacture your product and provide the fulfilment servicce it will save you the work of having to find and work with another entity.
