Map the move before stock moves
Document products, order profiles, integrations, packing requirements and the practical handover steps.
A structured move can cover stock transfer, SKU setup, store connections, workflow testing and go-live planning while keeping the focus on continuity for your customers.
Good fulfilment is a connected process. We focus on clear workflows, useful visibility and people who understand the operation behind your orders.
Document products, order profiles, integrations, packing requirements and the practical handover steps.
Agree how stock will transfer, be received and reconciled so the new operation starts from a clear inventory position.
Confirm workflows and store connections before launch, then keep communication clear as the new fulfilment operation beds in.
Moving your stock is only one part of changing fulfilment provider. You also need a clear plan for live orders, inventory records, packaging, store connections and returns. At 3PLWOW in Blyth, we start with your operation and agree the practical steps before the move.
Check your existing notice period, stock-release process, collection arrangements and any outstanding charges with your current provider. Ask for an up-to-date stock report and agree who will handle orders and returns during the handover. Your transfer date should reflect these arrangements, not just the date you would like to start.
Provide a product list with unique SKUs, descriptions, barcodes where used, quantities and weights. Include carton or pallet details, packaging instructions and any bundles or kits. For international orders, prepare country-of-origin and customs information, including HS codes. Flag batch, expiry-date or special storage requirements so we can confirm the right process before accepting stock.
Decide which orders the outgoing warehouse will finish and which orders 3PLWOW will receive. Agree a final order reference or handover time, identify on-hold orders and confirm who owns each exception. This helps avoid the same order being dispatched twice or missed between systems.
Agree collection and delivery arrangements, label stock clearly and share the expected quantities before arrival. Compare the outgoing stock list with the stock received, investigate differences and confirm what is available to fulfil. Where suitable, discuss a phased transfer; the right approach depends on your products, stock availability and existing arrangements.
Review store connections or manual order imports, SKU mapping, shipping choices, packaging rules and tracking updates. Use representative test orders, including bundles and international orders where relevant. Agree who signs off the setup and how urgent issues will be raised during the first days.
A useful comparison includes receiving stock, storage, the first pick, additional items, packaging, postage, returns and any agreed extra work. Ask your outgoing provider about transfer charges too. Our fulfilment price calculator gives illustrative costs; your quotation will be tailored to your products and order profile. Admin fees and monthly subscriptions are free at 3PLWOW. Any additional services should be agreed in your quote.

Your fulfilment setup can bring together the operational steps needed to receive stock, process orders and support customers after dispatch.
We start with your products, order volumes, SKUs, channels, packaging and destinations.
The warehouse workflow is agreed around the practical requirements of your operation.
Orders and fulfilment information are brought into a clear day-to-day process.
As volumes, channels or products change, the fulfilment process can change with them.
There is no fixed timescale for every business. Your current notice period, stock release, SKU preparation, store connections, transport and testing all affect the plan. Agree a realistic date after reviewing those requirements.
A phased transfer or agreed order handover may help maintain continuity, but uninterrupted dispatch cannot be assumed. Decide which warehouse handles each order, what stock is available and whether customers need to be told about any temporary change to dispatch times.
Share monthly orders, peak volumes, SKU count, stock quantities, storage needs, items per order, sales channels, packaging and delivery destinations. Include your intended move date and any special handling or customs requirements.
Agree a returns handover with your outgoing provider, including how parcels will be recorded, forwarded or collected. Update your published returns instructions when the new arrangement is ready, and define who handles parcels already in transit.
