Startup Logistics was founded and run by the duo behind Snaffling Pig & Medical Supermarket, Nick & Udhi.We know brands. What makes them tick, pinch points and what they need to do to grow a loyal and engaged community. Being able to deliver your products anywhere in the UK within 24 hours of receiving an order is a must. Selling direct to your consumers allows you to try different things, maintain flexibility, build relationships, grow a subscription model and build case studies which prove to retailers and supermarkets you have a product that deserves their shelf space. Startup Logistics knows food/cosmetics/apparell/beverage brands and we want to help you grow your business, by providing you with a slick, profitable and easy direct-to -consumer sales channel. All we need you to do is send us your initial stock and we’ll link to your website. From then on whilst you crack on with marketing your website we’ll do the rest, from inventory management, picking, packing, despatching orders, building gift packs, writing personalised messages and texting your customers when their orders are on the way. So we mean it when we say you’re in safe hands. Nick & Udhi - Founders Startup Logistics

Our matching process combines technology and personal consultation. First, you share your business requirements through our questionnaire. For complex needs, we schedule a brief call to understand your requirements in detail. Our team then analyzes your needs against our database of pre-vetted 3PLs and secures interest from appropriate providers. Only after confirming 3PL interest do we present these matches to you. You then select which 3PLs you'd like to connect with, creating a double opt-in process that ensures mutual interest before any introductions.
Yes, our matching service is completely free for businesses seeking 3PL partners. There's no catch - we're able to offer this service at no cost because we receive compensation from 3PLs when successful matches lead to partnerships. This model ensures we're incentivized to make quality matches that work for both parties.
Every 3PL in our network undergoes a rigorous vetting process. We evaluate their operational capabilities, technology infrastructure, financial stability, and client satisfaction rates. We continuously monitor performance metrics and regularly update our database. Only providers with proven track records remain in our network, ensuring you're connected with truly reliable partners.
To receive accurate recommendations, we need to understand your basic business requirements: product types and dimensions, monthly order volume, inventory storage needs, shipping destinations, special handling requirements, and budget constraints. The more details you provide, the more precisely we can match you with compatible 3PLs.
Our double opt-in matching process typically takes 3 - 5 business days from initial questionnaire to receiving your matched 3PLs. Most businesses select their preferred partner within 2 - 4 weeks after reviewing matches. The implementation timeline varies based on complexity, but typically ranges from 2 - 8 weeks. Our team provides guidance throughout this process to ensure a smooth transition.
