"We shortlisted Daventry precisely because it sits on top of DIRFT. Being 15 minutes from the rail terminal and straight onto the A5 for the M1 has taken a full day out of our replenishment cycle."
For Daventry sellers running FBA, FBM or both: prep, buffer storage and despatch under one roof, 15 minutes from the DIRFT rail-freight core and straight onto A5.

Daventry gave its name to DIRFT, the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal, and that is no accident of branding. This NN11 town sits where the A5 Watling Street, the A45 and the A361 knot together barely 15 minutes from the terminal's rail sidings and M1 access at Junctions 16 through 18. Few Midlands towns can claim to be so literally embedded in the national freight map, and fewer still carry the operational weight that Daventry does for retailers moving pallets across the country every single day.
The town's own industrial character is built around Drayton Fields and the Royal Oak Industrial Estate, where distribution, 3PL operators and national fulfilment sit alongside longer-established manufacturers. Northampton lies a short run down the A45 to the east, while Rugby and Crick, both closer still to the DIRFT core, sit to the north-west. That clustering of neighbours means a load can move between three or four major distribution addresses inside half an hour without ever touching a congested urban centre.
What makes Daventry distinctive is that trunk road and rail freight overlap here rather than compete. Containers arriving by rail at DIRFT feed straight onto the A5 and up to the M1, and the A361 provides a useful cross-country link towards Banbury and the south when the motorway is heavy. For a business weighing where in the Golden Triangle to hold stock, sitting 15 minutes from the terminal that named the region is about as central as UK logistics gets.
Amazon fulfilment sits naturally on top of that infrastructure. We receive containers and supplier pallets for Daventry sellers, prep every unit to spec, build and wrap pallets for inbound, and deliver into Amazon’s receiving sites — while merchant-fulfilled and Seller Fulfilled Prime orders leave the same building the same day. One stock pool, whichever way the order comes in.

Local answers for Daventry, plus the questions every amazon fulfilment client asks.
Very close. DIRFT is roughly 15 minutes from the town centre, with the A5 and A45 feeding the M1 at Junctions 16 to 18. Crick and Rugby, both hard against the terminal, are a short run north-west, so trunk routes open up in minutes.
Drayton Fields and the Royal Oak Industrial Estate are the main addresses, handling national distribution, 3PL and fulfilment work. They connect straight onto the A45 and A361, keeping HGV movements clear of the town's residential streets.
Yes. Northampton is a straight run east on the A45, while Rugby and Crick sit north-west near the DIRFT core. Most local trunk moves between these towns take well under half an hour outside peak times.
It is arguably one of the best in Britain. The town anchors the Golden Triangle, sits on the A5, A45 and A361, and puts you 15 minutes from rail freight at DIRFT plus M1 Junctions 16 to 18 for road trunking north and south.
Daventry sits in the NN11 postcode district in Northamptonshire. That covers Drayton Fields, Royal Oak and the surrounding A5 and A361 corridor where most warehousing and distribution activity is concentrated.
Yes. Pallets are built and wrapped to Amazon’s inbound standard at our Golden Triangle warehouse and delivered into the UK receiving sites, with the Midlands centres around Rugeley, Coventry, Daventry and Rugby all a short run away — which keeps inbound freight off your margin.
That is the usual arrangement. Bulk sits with us from £4.50 per pallet per week with no capacity limit, and we build a replenishment shipment weekly from your sell-through, so FBA only ever holds what is actually moving.
From £0.75 per unit to receive, inspect, FNSKU label and scan, with polybagging and bundling from £0.45 and pallets from £12.50. FBM picks start at £1.00 plus £0.35 order processing. Every line is quoted before you commit.
Yes — picked, packed and despatched the same working day against a 4pm cut-off, from the same stock that feeds your FBA shipments. No second warehouse, no split inventory.
Typically 7–10 working days from brief to first prepped shipment, and faster when your stock is already in the UK. No setup fee, no minimum commitment, cancel any month.
