Why Furniture and Homeware Brands Partner With 3PLs
Furniture and homewares don’t fit neatly into standard fulfilment workflows — they’re big, often fragile, and can be costly to ship. As your brand grows, in-house storage and fulfilment becomes inefficient and expensive.
A dedicated 3PL for furniture and homewares helps you:
Store large or odd-shaped products securely
Manage bulky item fulfilment without overloading your staff
Deliver efficiently to retail, commercial, or residential customers
Scale your operations without investing in warehouse space
At UFS 3PL, our Storage Services are designed for oversized goods, with flexible racking and handling solutions tailored to furniture and homeware items.
Key Considerations for Furniture Fulfilment
1) Flexible Racking & Floor Storage
Furniture doesn’t always come on pallets. Your 3PL should accommodate items that require special stacking or floor space.
2) Trained Manual Handling
Oversized items require more than forklifts — trained staff who can manoeuvre heavy or awkward items safely are a must.
3) Scalable Space
Furniture brands often face seasonal surges or large container shipments. You’ll need a 3PL that can scale up without locking you into permanent space costs.
4) Kitting, Labelling & Assembly Support
Some homewares need pre-assembly, cleaning, or labelling before they’re ready for dispatch.
Our Value-Added Services support rework, assembly, and packaging upgrades for bulky SKUs and fragile homeware products.
Benefits of a 3PL for Furniture & Homewares
Save Space: Avoid leasing your own warehouse for large or slow-moving SKUs
Cut Labour Costs: Our team picks, packs, and handles large items for you
Faster Delivery: Bulk items are dispatched quickly with tailored carrier options
Better Customer Experience: Accurate, damage-free delivery = fewer returns and complaints
Our Distribution Services include bulky freight carriers, direct-to-customer delivery, and staged multi-item dispatch.
Returns and Damage Handling
Furniture returns may involve transit damage, mispicked items, or repacking. A good 3PL can inspect, repackage, or return items to stock with minimal disruption.
Scale Your Brand With Big-Item Fulfilment Done Right
