TikTok Shop does not sell in a smooth line. It sells in bursts, and the warehouse behind it has to be built for that.
Orders flow in from TikTok Shop and leave the same working day against a 4pm cut-off — which is what keeps your dispatch-time metrics and seller rating where they need to be.
Tell us a live is scheduled and we staff for it. A SKU that does four orders a week and then four thousand in a night gets picked either way — on the same rate card.
Affiliate and creator sample packs picked, personalised and despatched with tracking, and customer orders packed to look like the video they came from.
The same two tiers as every WSUK service. Short-term rate card for monthly rolling accounts — pay per order, no commitment, no surge premium when a video takes off. Long-term contract rates tier down as steady volume builds.

Kettering's logistics identity is written along the A14, the east-west freight route that carries traffic between the M1 and the ports of the East Coast. The town straddles that corridor and adds a fast A43 link running north to Corby, giving it two of Northamptonshire's busiest distribution roads in a single location. Add the A6 threading through and the M1 reachable at Junction 19, and the NN14 to NN16 postcodes sit on a properly connected crossroads rather than a quiet backwater.
Storage and distribution here cluster on Telford Way, Pytchley Lodge and Kettering Business Park, estates that serve the town's mix of food processing, general manufacturing and distribution tenants. Corby's enormous warehousing cluster lies just up the A43, while Wellingborough, Market Harborough and Northampton complete a ring of neighbouring towns all tied into the same road network. That proximity to Corby in particular means Kettering can act as an overflow or satellite location for operators who want A14 access without the biggest-shed rents.
At roughly 35 minutes from the DIRFT and Rugby core, Kettering sits in the eastern reaches of the Golden Triangle, closer to the A14's port traffic than to the M1's north-south trunking. For businesses whose supply chains run towards Felixstowe and the container terminals, that eastern lean is an advantage: the A14 offers a direct line to the coast, while the A43 and M1 keep the Midlands and the south within comfortable reach.
WSUK runs TikTok Shop fulfilment for brands across Kettering and the wider Northamptonshire: same-day pick and pack, surge cover for live drops, branded outers and inserts for the unboxing, and returns received, checked and graded back into sellable stock rather than piled in a corner.

Local answers for Kettering, plus the questions every tiktok fulfilment client asks.
The A14 is the main east-west freight route linking the M1 with the East Coast ports. Kettering straddles it, so goods heading to or from Felixstowe move directly, while the A43 north to Corby and A6 handle regional traffic.
Just a short run north up the A43. Corby holds one of the East Midlands' largest warehousing clusters, so Kettering works well as a satellite or overflow base for operators wanting A14 access at lower cost than the biggest sheds command.
Telford Way, Pytchley Lodge and Kettering Business Park are the main distribution addresses. They serve food processing, manufacturing and general distribution, all with quick access to the A14 and A43 corridor.
Yes, particularly eastbound. Sitting on the A14 gives a direct line to Felixstowe and the container terminals, which makes Kettering stronger for import and export supply chains than for pure north-south M1 trunking.
The M1 is reachable at Junction 19, and the DIRFT core sits around 35 minutes away. That places Kettering in the eastern Golden Triangle, balancing A14 port access with reasonable reach back into the Midlands hub.
Same working day on a 4pm cut-off. Late carrier collections at our Golden Triangle warehouse mean an order placed in the afternoon still leaves that afternoon — which is what protects your dispatch-time metrics and your seller rating.
Yes, and it is the reason most Kettering sellers move to us. Scheduled lives get pickers booked against the date; unplanned spikes are absorbed the next morning. The rate card does not change either way — no surge premium.
Yes. Send the seeding list and we pick, personalise, insert your card or QR code and despatch in tracked batches from £1.50 per pack, so your team is chasing content rather than packing samples.
Picks from £1.00 under 3kg, £1.50 for 3–19.99kg and £3.95 for 20kg+, plus order processing from £0.35. Storage from £4.50 per pallet per week, bundling from £0.45 per unit, integration £150 per week. Monthly rolling, no setup fee.
Yes. The same inventory in Kettering’s nearest WSUK warehouse feeds TikTok Shop, FBA replenishment, merchant-fulfilled Amazon orders and your own website — one count, one invoice, no overselling.
