As our operations are better suited for businesses processing 500+ orders per month, NPFulfilment will run a business assessment to determine whether we are the right fit for each other. During this assessment, we will endeavour to uncover most of complexities associated with processing your orders and how we can work together.

The best way to progress this would be by requesting a quote from us.

NPFulfilment has very strong relationships with a range of freight/postal companies allowing us to offer our customers the best price and service according to their individual needs. Some of our partners include:

• Australia Post
• Startrack
• TNT
• Toll
• NZ Post
• Various Local Couriers

We can ship consumer orders overseas but is important that our customers verify the legality of their products in the destination country and determine whether local duties must be paid by the recipient. Additionally, for any bulky orders, it will be the responsibility of the customer to arrange for freight forwarding, as customs procedures may require confirmation of goods ownership beyond our authority.

Our warehouse operating hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:15pm.

• Carton and Pallet Deliveries are accepted between 8:00am to 3:00pm
• Container Deliveries are accepted between 8:00am to 11.30am

Note: We require 48 hours notice for all container deliveries. All empty containers must be picked within 24 hours of delivery.

Should you require a one-off special pickup, please contact our Customer Services Team within a reasonable time frame and provide the relevant information. We request a minimum 24-hour advance notice for special pickups. If you are using your own carrier to pick up goods, then please ensure your carrier is aware of our timings.

It is a requirement that our customers carry their own fire and burglary insurance policy for the stock held on NPFulfilment’s premises. NPFulfilment does not manage the value of our customer’s inventory, as only our customers are aware of the value of inventory carried by them at any given time. NPFulfilment carries a $20,000,000 public and products liability policy. We also carry building insurances for each location.

It is a mandatory requirement that every sku must be barcoded with a unique barcode.

We support most of the industry standard barcodes such as Code39, Code128 and UPC-A. As long as the barcode can be scanned, it’s acceptable. If in doubt, please send us a sample. All items must be clearly barcoded by the supplier, prior to delivery to NPFulfilment.

The standard processing time of inbound deliveries is 24-48 hours from the time of delivery, with the exception of the very first inbound delivery. This may take 2-3 working days for us to capture, receive and do initial configuration of your stock in our system.

We accept plain hardwood, Chep and Loscam pallets and our maximum accepted pallet dimensions are: Length 1200mm x Width 1200mm. Pallet height restriction is 1200mm.

NPFulfilment does not provide freight forwarding and customs clearance services related to either import or export of products. As our customers are the owners of the products, and as such, their company is listed as the ‘Importer of Record’ during the importation process, they are required to use their own freight forwarders. Unfortunately, we cannot assist in this process but we can refer you to some providers.

NPFulfilment can provide you with a range of packaging options or you can also supply your own. It’s important that we discuss how your products are packaged when delivered to us and how you would like us to pack them for shipping.

Once an order is shipped from our facility, we send the tracking number or confirmation of shipping back to your system. You can now track an order from your system or from our logistics platform by clicking on the tracking number. A tracking link is also supplied for every order in the dispatch report. Alternatively, you can visit the carrier’s website and track your shipment.

If for any reason your customer does not receive their parcel, then you will need to contact us. We will then contact the relevant carrier and create an enquiry. This could take up to 72 hours or longer in some cases as we rely on getting a response from the carrier.

You can contact our Customer Services Team who will create an enquiry with the relevant carrier. Please note, this could take up to 72 hours or longer in some cases as we rely on getting a response from the carrier.

Once the parcel is picked, packed, and dispatched, it is the carrier’s responsibility to ensure a safe and timely delivery. NPFulfilment is not liable for this process and we don’t provide compensation for lost or damaged parcels in transit. Please refer to your carrier’s T&Cs for the compensation and liability terms for parcels lost or damaged in transit.
