In short

CFS clients can store stock in the PFC Group's Shenzhen warehouse, run by ParcelFromChina, and either ship bulk replenishments to a UK or EU warehouse or have individual orders picked, packed and sent to customers. With the EU's €150 duty exemption gone, we help you compare both routes on landed cost.

How it works

The process, step by step

  1. 01

    Inbound

    Your suppliers deliver to our warehouse, or we collect.

  2. 02

    Store

    We count, check and store your stock.

  3. 03

    Outbound

    Ship in bulk or per order, whichever lands cheaper.

Two ways to use a China warehouse

1. Bulk replenishment. Your factories deliver to our Shenzhen warehouse. We check and store the stock, then ship consolidated cartons or pallets to your UK or EU warehouse, 3PL or Amazon fulfilment centre when you need them.

2. Direct-to-customer fulfilment. We store stock in Shenzhen and pick, pack and ship individual orders to your customers as they come in.

What changed in 2026

Direct-to-customer shipping from China grew on the back of low-value import exemptions. Those exemptions are going:

  • The EU ended its €150 customs duty exemption on 1 July 2026. Low-value B2C parcels now carry customs duty, with an interim flat €3 per item type until the EU Customs Data Hub launches.
  • The UK plans to remove its £135 low-value customs relief by March 2029 at the latest.

For many products, shipping in bulk to a local warehouse now lands cheaper per unit than individual parcels from China. For others, especially light, low-volume or test products, direct fulfilment still makes sense. We work out both options for your product before you commit.

Receiving and storage

  • Inbound stock is counted and checked against the packing list.
  • Damaged or short shipments are photographed and reported to you.
  • Storage is charged by volume, so we can advise on carton sizes that save space.

Kitting, labelling and prep

Before stock leaves China we can bundle items, insert leaflets, apply barcodes or FNSKU labels for Amazon, and repack into cartons that meet your destination warehouse’s requirements. Doing this in China is usually cheaper than doing it at a UK or EU prep centre.

Who runs it

The warehouse is operated by ParcelFromChina, our sister company in the PFC Group. Your CFS account manager coordinates storage and shipping alongside sourcing and inspection, so you deal with one team.

  • No commissions from factories

    We take no commissions, rebates or fees from the factories we recommend. We work for you.

  • You see the factory and its price

    Every quote names the factory and shows its own price. Our fee is a separate line.

  • Balance after inspection

    The balance is usually paid only after the goods pass inspection, while the factory can still fix problems.

  • Nothing starts without your yes

    You approve a written quote before any work begins, and factories are paid only on your instruction.

From the factory floor

Before you choose a fulfilment route, work out the landed cost per unit both ways. The 2026 duty changes moved the answer for a lot of products.

Questions

Warehousing & fulfilment: common questions

Is direct-to-customer shipping from China still worth it in 2026?

For the EU it costs more since the €150 duty exemption ended on 1 July 2026. For many products, bulk shipping to a local warehouse now lands cheaper per unit. We run the numbers for your product.
