An international order fulfillment center is the physical location from which a 3PL (Third Party Logistics Provider) fulfills customer orders for e-commerce retailers.
 
An order fulfillment center will handle everything from receiving orders (online integration with your website and marketplaces), storing products, picking and packing orders, and preparing shipments for collection by their courier partners.
 
Fulfilment centres often provide savings on packaging materials and handle returns too.
The main benefits of outsourcing fulfilment should be time savings - so you can concentrate on business growth - flexibility to handle peaks in demand, and cost savings (especially on parcel delivery).

When choosing a fulfilment centre for your business you need to be really careful because you are trusting a business with your stock and your customer's experience. A bad fulfilment centre can easily ruin your business.

Make sure the order fulfilment centre has the space you need now and in 5 years time, ask them technical questions about IT and reporting, find out their SLAs and accreditations, can they ship worldwide at affordable prices, scrutinise their pricing to make sure everything is included, and get references from other e-tailers using their international fulfilment centre service.
