"WSUK had us live in 36 hours and absorbed our Q4 peak without a blip. The rate card was exactly what we paid — no surprise charges at month-end."
Trade buyers order in cases and pallets, on terms, against MOQs, and they reorder on a rhythm. We fulfil to that rhythm — consolidated, palletised and despatched on the schedule your accounts actually buy to.
WSUK fulfils wholesale and distributor orders from a Golden Triangle warehouse: picking at case, layer and pallet level, minimum order quantities enforced, mixed-SKU pallets built and wrapped, and orders consolidated so each trade customer gets one despatch rather than five. Pallets from £12.50 built and wrapped, case picks from £1.00 plus £0.35 processing. For orders going into a retailer’s RDC with compliance requirements, see retail fulfilment.
Wholesale is not a bigger version of consumer fulfilment. The order sizes, the frequency, the paperwork and the delivery expectations are all different.
Orders picked at whatever level the buyer works in, with mixed-SKU pallets built to a stable, wrapped, labelled standard.
Minimum order quantities, case multiples and trade-specific rules applied at picking so an order that breaks your terms is flagged, not shipped.
Multiple orders for the same trade customer combined into one shipment on an agreed schedule, which cuts their admin and your carriage.
Trade accounts reorder predictably, in volume, and hate receiving five deliveries in a week. A fulfilment operation shaped for consumers gets all three wrong.
From trade order to a consolidated, palletised delivery.
Trade orders arrive by portal, EDI, CSV or email and are validated against your MOQs, case multiples and price tiers before anything is picked.
Picked at case, layer or pallet level, combined with that customer’s other open orders, and built into stable wrapped pallets.
Sent on the agreed despatch day with one paperwork set, and POD returned against the order.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling. Long-term contract rates tier down quickly here, because wholesale volume is predictable — which is exactly what contract pricing rewards.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.
Case and layer quantities for trade orders.
Mixed-SKU pallets built, wrapped and labelled.
One despatch per customer per schedule.

Trade customers across the UK are within a day of the M1 / M6 corridor, which is why distribution stock has always concentrated here.
Wholesale fulfilment is order fulfilment for trade buyers — distributors, wholesalers, independent retailers — rather than consumers. The difference is not simply that the orders are bigger. Trade customers buy in case multiples against minimum order quantities, on agreed terms and price tiers; they reorder on a rhythm rather than impulsively; and they would much rather receive one consolidated delivery than five separate parcels in a week. A fulfilment operation built for consumer orders handles all of that badly: it picks eaches when it should pick cases, ships each order as it lands instead of consolidating, and has no way of enforcing a minimum order quantity before the goods leave. The costs show up as carriage you did not need to spend and trade terms that quietly stop being enforced. WSUK picks at case, layer and pallet level, validates orders against your terms before picking, consolidates by customer onto agreed despatch days, and builds wrapped, labelled pallets — from the same stock pool that serves your consumer channels. Where the trade customer is a national retailer with a compliance manual, retail fulfilment covers that end.

Everything you need to know about wholesale fulfilment at WSUK.
They overlap. B2B fulfilment leans on retailer compliance — SSCC labels, ASNs, booking portals, delivery windows. This page leans on distributor buying behaviour — case multiples, MOQs, consolidation and despatch rhythm. Many clients need both, and both run from the same stock.
Yes. MOQs, case multiples and trade-specific rules are applied when the order is validated, before picking, so an order that breaks your terms is flagged rather than shipped and argued about later.
Yes, and it is usually the biggest saving available. Open orders for the same trade customer are combined onto an agreed despatch day as a single palletised delivery, which cuts carriage and their admin at once.
Case picks from £1.00 plus £0.35 order processing, pallets built and wrapped from £12.50 with £3.50 wrap and band, storage from £4.50 per pallet per week. Consolidated deliveries are quoted per drop.
Yes — mixed-SKU and mixed-case pallets built stable, wrapped and labelled, with a photo of the load on request.
EDI, CSV, a portal or email — whatever your customers already use. Integration is from £150 per week and covers your channels rather than being charged per trading partner.
Yes, and it avoids the classic failure of being out of stock on one channel while sitting on inventory allocated to another. See multi-channel fulfilment.
The pricing sits in your system; we fulfil against the order it produces, including tier-specific case quantities and any promotional pack formats built by our co-packing team.
Typically 7–10 working days including order intake setup and a test despatch before the first live order.
Yes — Goods-in-Trust cover in a CCTV-monitored, alarmed warehouse, CMR / RHA conditions in transit.
