By aligning your shipments with these standards, your stock can be booked in quickly and you will only be charged for stock accuracy, not additional handling.
All products must be barcoded at the:
Unit Level
Inner Level
Case Level
Why this matters: Our warehouse uses hand-held scanners to manage stock movement. Goods cannot be processed in our system without barcodes.
If items arrive without barcodes, we can barcode them for you, but this will incur additional costs and may result in delays.
Proper barcoding ensures faster stock processing and accurate inventory management.
Goods should be shipped on the correct pallets for your warehouse:
UK Warehouse: UK Standard Pallets
NL Warehouse: EUR Standard Pallets
Benefits of using the correct pallets:
Avoids the need to re-palletise goods on arrival
Saves on pallet purchase and creation fees
Maximises space efficiency
Tip: Loose goods can be placed on top of loaded pallets, but these will be consolidated into full pallets upon arrival.
To ensure safe handling, pallets should:
Be under 1.5 metres in height
Weigh less than 500kg
Loose items can be placed on top of pallets, and our team will consolidate them upon arrival. This ensures safety, efficiency, and ease of storage.
Whenever possible, each pallet should contain only one SKU.
Why: Our warehouse stores goods in single SKU locations. If pallets arrive with mixed SKUs, we will need to create new pallets, which may incur additional handling fees.
By following the Goods-In Gold Standards:
Your goods can be booked in on the same day
Stock accuracy is maintained
Additional handling costs and delays are minimised
We recommend sharing these standards with your shipping and packing teams to ensure smooth delivery into our warehouse.
