Toys & Games Warehousing & Fulfilment for E-Commerce & Retailers

Jan 24, 2026
Toys & Games Warehousing & Fulfilment for E-Commerce & Retailers

Retail rejections, damaged board game cartons, and Christmas delivery blowouts are common challenges for toy and games brands operating at scale. Toys and games warehousing and fulfilment often become the weak point when pallets fail retailer standards or oversized products push freight costs beyond budget.

Couriers and Freight addresses these risks through inbound freight handling, secure warehousing, accurate pick and pack, retail-compliant pallet preparation, and national delivery managed through a single operation. This approach reduces handovers between providers, lowering error rates, improving turnaround times, and maintaining tighter inventory control across direct-to-consumer and retail distribution.

What’s Included in Our Toys and Games 3PL Service

Inbound Receiving and Preparation

1. Container, Pallet, and Carton Receiving and Processing

Couriers & Freight receives FCL, LCL, and mixed-carton shipments from local and international suppliers, checking stock on arrival so inventory is ready for processing without delays.

2. Retail-compliant Pallet Preparation

Pallets are rebuilt to retailer and Distribution Centre (DC) standards for height, wrapping, and barcode placement, reducing delivery rejections, chargebacks, and rework costs.

3. Re-palletising and Carton Sorting

Mixed or poorly packed freight is reorganised into retailer-compliant pallets to improve handling efficiency and speed delivery into retail networks.

4. Quality Control Checks for Fragile Toys and Board Games

Packaging integrity and product condition are inspected on arrival to identify damage early and reduce losses during storage and dispatch.

Storage and Inventory Management

1. SKU-level Storage Across Bins, Shelves, and Pallet Racking

Flexible storage supports small toys, boxed games, and large-format items within a single warehouse layout.

2. Real-time Inventory Visibility

Brands access live stock levels, movements, and order status through connected digital systems.

3. Batch and Lot Tracking

Tracking supports series releases, multi-variant products, and retail compliance requirements.

4. Short-Term and Peak Season Storage Options

Storage capacity scales during Christmas, Black Friday, and major campaigns without long-term commitments.

Order Fulfilment (D2C & B2B)

1. E-commerce Pick and Pack for D2C Orders

Single-item, multi-item, and bundled orders are picked accurately for same-day or next-day dispatch.

2. Fragile Packaging for Toys, Games, and Collectibles

Reinforced packing protects corners, cartons, and collector-value items in transit.

3. B2B Fulfilment for Retailers and Wholesalers

Pallet and carton workflows support deliveries to toy shops, bookstores, and chain retailers.

4. Returns Management

Returned goods are inspected, restocked where suitable, and reported clearly.

Value-Added Services

1. Subscription Box Kitting

Monthly toy boxes, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) kits, and curated bundles are assembled with consistent configuration control.

2. Multi-item Kitting and Assembly

Sets, bundles, and promotional packs are built accurately at scale.

3. Kickstarter and Pre-order Batch Fulfilment

Bulk campaign orders are dispatched in managed waves to meet backer timelines.

4. Re-labelling and Barcode Updates

Labels are updated to meet retailer, Shopify, or Amazon requirements.

5. Custom Packaging Options

Gift packaging, branded cartons, and seasonal releases are supported.

National Distribution & Delivery Options

1. Multi-carrier Parcel, Courier, and Pallet Delivery

Brands select carriers based on cost, speed, and destination.

2. Big & Bulky Toy Delivery

Ride-ons, outdoor toys, and oversized cartons move via pallet and tail-lift networks.

3. Retail and DC Delivery Bookings

Delivery windows, booking systems, and compliance are managed to avoid refusals and fees.

4. Metro, Regional, and Remote Coverage

National reach supports high-volume and one-off fulfilment.

Pricing and Quote Information

Pricing for toys and games warehousing and fulfilment is based on actual service usage rather than fixed bundles. Storage costs align with the space occupied, while pick and pack rates apply per order or per unit, depending on order volume and complexity. Additional services such as pallet handling, bulky freight movements, and kitting are priced according to operational requirements.

Costs can vary based on fragile packing needs, retailer and distribution centre compliance requirements, seasonal volume spikes, and delivery profiles. 

Couriers & Freight provides clear pricing breakdowns with defined inclusions, allowing brands to forecast fulfilment costs accurately. A tailored quote reflects product size, order flow, and distribution needs, ensuring pricing aligns with how the service is actually used.
