Variety of Services

At the present moment the services that you might require from your fulfilment company might only be restricted to pick and pack and deliver. However, as the business grows, you might require more refined services from the company like direct mailing and data printing. Therefore it is highly important that you tie-up with flexible company that has a huge variety of services to offer.

Location

To deliver products faster and at cheaper rates, you should make sure that the company is centrally located or has a branch in all the main cities. If you want to ship things out on a national level, the company should be located somewhere near the centre of the country. And if you are shipping on a regional level make sure that the fulfilment company is situated in the centre of your region.

Security

They should be very responsible about the orders they keep in their warehouses. They should keep an eye on the orders all the time and make sure that they are safe and secure, especially the products that are expensive or/and small.

Apart from all this, the fulfilment company should also be cost efficient and help the businesses save on money.
