From what volume does outsourced fulfilment pay off?

Roughly from 200–300 orders per month — below that, the operating cost can be comparable to shipping yourself, but that maths ignores your own time. If packing takes you or an employee several hours a day, run the numbers earlier.

What exactly does the pallet-space price include?

Storage of the pallet itself — usually in a class A facility with monitoring and building insurance. Operations (goods-in, dispatch, picking) are billed separately. When comparing offers, always check the full operations price list, not just the pallet rate.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

The market standard is 3–12 months. In our network we match the form to the project — we also handle seasonal volumes and pilots where you start with part of your range.

Do you integrate with Allegro, Amazon and BaseLinker?

Yes. Warehouses in our network run WMS systems with API integrations and popular integrators (including BaseLinker). Orders flow in automatically and stock levels feed back to your sales channels.

How fast can we start?

Typically 2–4 weeks from decision: integration setup, goods receipt and test shipments. With a simple range and ready integrations it can be faster.

What makes up the price of warehousing and fulfilment

A logistics operator bills storage and operations separately. Below are the typical price-list items with indicative ranges for the Polish market in 2026 — your actual rate depends on the goods profile and volume. Amounts in PLN (roughly 4.3 PLN = 1 EUR).

Item	Unit	2026 range
Pallet storage (class A, ambient)	PLN / pallet space / month	35–60 (≈ €8–14)
Goods-in, palletised	PLN / pallet	8–15
40′ container unloading — palletised	PLN / container	350–600
40′ container unloading — loose cartons	PLN / container	800–1,500
E-commerce order picking & packing	PLN / order	4–9 (≈ €1–2)
Each additional unit in an order	PLN / unit	0.8–1.5
Carton and packing materials	PLN / parcel	1.5–4
Domestic courier shipping up to 30 kg	PLN / parcel	13–18 (≈ €3–4)
Returns handling (receipt, inspection, restocking)	PLN / return	3–6
Labelling, repacking, kitting (VAS)	PLN / unit	0.3–0.8

A note on the ranges. These are indicative market rates for standard small goods. Oversized or heavy items, LOT/expiry-date requirements or a large SKU count push rates up; a stable, high volume pushes them down. That is why a serious operator always asks about your goods profile before quoting a price.

Worked example: an online store

The store keeps 120 pallets in stock, ships 1,000 orders per month (1.3 units per order on average, ~4% returns), and receives one 20-pallet container delivery a month.

Storage: 120 pallets × PLN 45	PLN 5,400
Goods-in: 20 pallets × PLN 12	PLN 240
Picking: 1,000 orders × PLN 6	PLN 6,000
Additional units: 300 × PLN 1	PLN 300
Packing and materials: 1,000 × PLN 2.50	PLN 2,500
Domestic courier: 1,000 × PLN 15	PLN 15,000
Returns: 40 × PLN 5	PLN 200
Total per month · ≈ PLN 29.60 per order	≈ PLN 29,640

The key takeaway: more than half of the cost is courier shipping, not warehousing. The biggest savings come not from negotiating the pallet rate, but from access to the operator’s volume courier rates and from optimising parcel dimensions. This is also why fulfilment from Poland is attractive for foreign sellers — Polish storage and labour rates are among the most competitive in the EU.

What really moves your rate

Stock rotation. A pallet that turns over in two weeks costs differently than one sitting for half a year. High rotation means lower handling rates — a warehouse earns on movement, not on dust.

SKU count. Fifty SKUs pick fast and cheap. Five thousand SKUs need more pick faces and tighter records — the picking rate goes up.

Dimensions and weight. A standard locker-sized parcel is a different price league than a generator on a pallet. Non-standard goods are always priced individually.

Seasonality. If you ship three times more in Q4 than in February, the operator must secure people and space for the peak — but you still pay only for the resources you use, not for an empty warehouse in February.

Special requirements. Batch (LOT) tracking, expiry dates, fragile goods, serial-number control — every extra process is an extra price-list line.

Integrations and channels. Allegro, Amazon FBM, your own store, B2B pallet shipments — the more channels, the more the WMS integration matters. API or BaseLinker integration is usually free or a one-off fee.

How to lower the cost per order

Courier at operator volume

An operator shipping tens of thousands of parcels gets rates a single store cannot negotiate. The courier saving alone can cover the picking cost.

Carton optimisation

Matching box sizes to parcel-locker dimensions and courier weight thresholds cuts both material costs and the shipping rate.

Forecasts and delivery slots

Announced deliveries and realistic volume forecasts let the operator plan staffing — and a predictable client gets better rates.
