Duke Street Mill, Rochdale
The full address is Duke Street Mill, Rochdale, OL12 0LW, a short drive from junction 20 of the M62, which is the road most of Greater Manchester's inbound freight already travels on.
We publish it because a seller shipping their entire inventory to a company deserves to know which building it is going to. It is a working warehouse rather than a shop: no trade counter, nothing to walk into, and you never need to travel here: stock arrives by courier and leaves by courier. If you would like to see it before you commit, arrange a visit and we will show you round.
Our registered office is at a different address in Littleborough. Goods must not be sent there. Both addresses and our company number are published in full.
Who we work with locally
Sellers across the region, and well beyond it
Being in Rochdale puts us inside easy reach of sellers in Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham and Rochdale itself, along with the wider North West.
We are not a Greater Manchester-only operation, and it would be strange to pretend otherwise: a courier network does not care which town you are in, and a good share of our work comes from sellers nowhere near the M62. If you are in Cornwall or Inverness you get exactly the same service, the same rate card and the same 2pm cut-off.
What being nearby actually changes is narrower than most local pages admit, so here it is honestly.
You can come and look
Within an hour's drive, seeing the racking your stock will sit on stops being a day out. For a first 3PL move, that reassurance is worth more than any page of copy, ours included.
A shorter inbound leg
Goods-in from a local supplier or your own unit is a shorter, cheaper journey, and a pallet that leaves Oldham in the morning can be booked in the same day rather than sitting on a trunking network overnight.
Problems solved in person
When something genuinely needs a pair of eyes (a damaged inbound, a packaging change, a peak plan), being close enough to meet is faster than a fortnight of email.
What it does not change
Your customers will not notice where we are
Delivery speed to your buyer is set by the carrier and the cut-off, not by how close you are to us.
An order picked in Rochdale before 2pm is on the same Royal Mail, Evri or DPD service as one picked anywhere else in the country, and reaches a customer in Brighton in the same time either way. Anyone selling you a local 3PL on the promise of faster delivery to your customers is selling you something couriers already handle.
Choose a fulfilment partner on the rate card, the cut-off, the accuracy and whether they answer the phone. Geography is a convenience for you, not a service level for your buyers.
Why local sellers switch
A Manchester 3PL that publishes its numbers
Most sellers who come to us from another fulfilment provider, in Manchester or anywhere else, are leaving for the same reasons: charges that crept up after signing, communication that dried up, and returns that were never properly handled.
Your price is the published rate card, locked in when you sign, and it does not move afterwards. You deal directly with the team in Rochdale that handles your stock, with a reply within 2 hours in business hours, and your client portal holds every invoice, delivery and conversation with us. Returns are graded and restocked or set aside within 3 working days. Our clients range from a few dozen orders a day to several hundred, all on the same terms.
For a seller nearby the move is quicker still. Stock from Oldham, Bolton or Salford can reach us the same day it leaves, and once it is booked in you can be taking orders within 3 days.
The practical details
What working with us looks like
Pick and pack from 85p per order, storage from 20p a box a week, FBA prep from 55p per unit and returns at £2.00 per unit. Every line is published on the rate card rather than quoted on request. No minimum volume, no lock-in, rolling monthly terms with 30 days' notice, and a single one-off £150 to connect your sales channels.
Orders received before our 2pm cut-off on a working day are dispatched that day, and there is more detail on same-day dispatch before 2pm, how the cut-off behaves at peak and what it means for TikTok Shop and Shopify sellers. Inbound stock is booked in within 48 hours of arrival, and we ask you to book deliveries in before they travel so a pallet is not sitting in goods-in without paperwork.
We connect to Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop and 160+ other channels, and we set the integration up for you during onboarding for a one-off £150 covering every sales channel you connect. If you are moving from another 3PL, the 3PL implementation checklist is what we would work through with you.
Questions from Manchester sellers
Fulfilment in Manchester, answered straight
Where is your fulfilment warehouse?
Duke Street Mill, Rochdale, OL12 0LW, a short drive from junction 20 of the M62. It is a working warehouse rather than a walk-in site, so visits are by arrangement, and you are welcome to see it before you send any stock.
Do I need to be based in Manchester to use you?
No. Sellers anywhere in the UK get the same service, the same rate card and the same 2pm cut-off. Being nearby mainly makes it easier to visit and to get stock to us.
How quickly can I go live?
We start onboarding the day you say yes. Once your stock arrives you are ready to take orders within 3 days, and a seller in Greater Manchester can usually get stock to us the same day it leaves.
Will a Manchester 3PL deliver faster to my customers?
Not by itself. Delivery speed to your buyer is set by the carrier service and the dispatch cut-off. An order dispatched from Rochdale before 2pm travels on the same Royal Mail, Evri or DPD service as one dispatched anywhere else.
What does fulfilment in Manchester cost?
The same as everywhere else on our published rate card: pick and pack from 85p per order, storage from 20p a box a week, returns at £2 per unit, and a one-off £150 to connect all your sales channels. There are no minimums, and terms are rolling monthly with 30 days' notice.
