"Earlstrees gave us the floor space we simply couldn't find further south, and the A43 down to the A14 keeps our Felixstowe containers moving. For big-box volume, Corby has been a genuinely smart call."
Your Shopify store connected to a real warehouse serving Corby and Northamptonshire: live inventory, same-day despatch on a 4pm cut-off, branded unboxing.
WSUK fulfils Shopify orders for Corby brands in your own packaging — your boxes, tissue, cards and inserts, held alongside your product. From £1.00 per pick plus £0.35, returns £1.25. A43, A6014, A6003 and A14 on the doorstep; we also cover Kettering and Market Harborough.
The point of a Shopify integration is that you stop exporting spreadsheets. Orders, tracking and stock should move on their own.
Paid orders pull into the warehouse without you touching anything, and the tracking number is written back onto the Shopify order so the customer notification fires itself.
Stock levels update as orders are picked and flow back to Shopify — including across multiple sales channels, so you are not selling the same unit twice.
D2C brands live or die on the unboxing. We hold your boxes, tissue, cards and inserts and pack to your spec, not to a generic 3PL standard.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling accounts — pay per order, no commitment. Long-term contract rates tier down as steady volume builds.
Pay-per-use published rates with no commitment.
Locked-in rates on multi-year SLAs.

Corby's story is one of reinvention. The furnaces that once made it a steel town have largely cooled, but the appetite for heavy industry left behind a legacy of large sites, robust infrastructure and a workforce used to shift-based operations. Today the NN17 and NN18 districts are among the East Midlands' densest warehousing clusters, feeding out onto the A43 towards the A14 in one direction and Northampton in the other. The Rugby and DIRFT core lies about forty minutes away.
Earlstrees is the estate that most defines the town's modern trade - a sprawling industrial and distribution area that has drawn national retailers and 3PLs to Corby's edge. Weldon and Willowbrook extend the footprint, and between them they host steel and metals processing alongside food production and the big-box distribution that increasingly dominates. Rockingham, with its motor speedway heritage and adjoining development land, sits just to the town's north, adding to the sense of a place built at scale.
What Corby lacks in direct motorway frontage it makes up for through the A14, the crucial east-west freight artery reached via the A43. That corridor links the port of Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, and Corby sits neatly on the approach. Kettering, Market Harborough and Wellingborough all lie within a short drive, so a base here serves the northern Northamptonshire warehousing belt while keeping the wider triangle and the east-coast ports within comfortable reach.
For a Shopify brand in Corby, the move to a warehouse is rarely about picking being hard — it is about the founder packing parcels in the evening. Orders pull through here automatically, tracking writes itself back onto the order, and the parcel still ships in your boxes with your inserts.

Local answers for Corby, plus the questions every shopify fulfilment client asks.
It does. The old steelworks left large, well-serviced sites and a workforce accustomed to industrial shift work. Steel and metals processing continues alongside food production and distribution, giving Corby an unusually deep industrial character for its size.
Earlstrees Industrial Estate is the obvious starting point - it's the largest and most established, home to national retailers and 3PLs. Weldon and Willowbrook add further capacity nearby, so there's genuine choice for large-footprint warehousing.
Via the A43, which runs down to the A14 within a short drive. The A14 is the main east-west corridor linking Felixstowe to the M1 and M6, so Corby sits well for both east-coast port traffic and cross-country trunking.
Yes. The DIRFT and Rugby core is around forty minutes away, and the A43/A14 combination gives quick onward access to the M1 and M6. Corby works as an eastern anchor of the triangle's warehousing belt.
Kettering is very close, with Market Harborough, Wellingborough and the Rockingham area all a short hop away. That covers the northern Northamptonshire and southern Leicestershire distribution belt comfortably from an NN17 or NN18 base.
Paid orders pull through to our Golden Triangle warehouse automatically, we pick and pack them, and the tracking is written back onto the Shopify order so your customer notification fires by itself. Inventory syncs back as stock moves. Integration is £150 per week.
Yes — we hold your boxes, tissue, stickers and inserts and pack to your spec. Nothing in the parcel says WSUK. The unboxing stays yours, which for most Corby D2C brands is the whole point.
Same working day on a 4pm cut-off. Late collections mean an afternoon order still makes that day’s despatch and reaches most of the UK next day.
Picks from £1.00 under 3kg, £1.50 for 3–19.99kg, £3.95 for 20kg+, plus £0.35 order processing. Storage from £4.50 per pallet per week, integration £150 per week, returns from £1.25. No setup fee, monthly rolling.
Yes. Scheduled launches get pickers booked against the date; unplanned spikes are cleared the next morning. The rate card does not change either way — no surge premium.
