E-Commerce Logistics – Express Transport for Online Retail and Fulfilment

For online retailers and fulfilment providers, Speed Logistics runs express direct transport between warehouse, fulfilment centre and transhipment point – plannable in regular operation, available at short notice during the Black Friday and Christmas peak, from a van for the urgent part quantity to a 40-tonne truck.

In online retail, product availability decides revenue: when the fulfilment warehouse runs empty, orders stall – and during the peak before Black Friday or Christmas, freight capacity suddenly runs short. Speed Logistics runs express direct transport between warehouse, fulfilment centre and transhipment point for online retailers, fulfilment providers and marketplace sellers – plannable in regular operation, available at short notice during peak.

Our dispatch team can be reached personally 24/7, and the fixed-price quote arrives within a few hours – including loading, CMR insurance and live GPS tracking. From a van for the urgent part quantity to a 40 t articulated truck for the complete container redistribution.

Transport solutions for online retail

  • Restocking runs from the central warehouse to the fulfilment centre, also as a fixed shuttle schedule
  • Same-day and overnight direct runs when stock is running low
  • Container onward-carriage from the port or rail terminal to the e-commerce warehouse
  • Returns consolidation transport and transfers between warehouse locations
  • Peak capacity for promotional periods: Black Friday, Christmas, season launches

Speed that backs your shop promise

Anyone promising “available tomorrow” in the shop needs restocking without detours. Our direct runs go from sender to consignee with no reloading – no hub stopover, no groupage risk, no lost hours. We load overnight runs in the evening and deliver to the loading-dock slot the following morning, so the goods can be received and picked the same day.

Security for high-value consumer goods

Electronics, branded fashion and cosmetics are theft-prone. For high-value loads we apply measures to TAPA FSR standard: sealed and locked cargo compartments, live GPS tracking with alerting and documented handovers at the dock. In addition to CMR liability, you can arrange extended all-risk insurance for the full value of the goods.

Import onward-carriage and cross-border transport

If your goods arrive by container from overseas, we handle the onward-carriage from the port or terminal to the warehouse – including customs clearance on request. For retailers with international customers we run direct transport across Europe and serve non-EU markets such as Türkiye or the Gulf region including full export customs clearance from EXW to DDP. That way your logistics grows with your markets without you having to look for new partners.

Plannable day to day, resilient at peak

We schedule regular runs as a fixed timetable with agreed dock slots; for promotional peaks we reserve capacity before the spot market tightens. You report volume and time window – we confirm vehicle and fixed price, usually within a few hours.

Scalable logistics for growing shops

Online retailers rarely grow in a straight line: a viral product, a new marketplace or an additional warehouse can change transport demand overnight. Our model scales with you – you book exactly the capacity you need per run, from van to articulated truck, with no minimum volume or contract term. Multi-leg tours as well – for example central warehouse, two fulfilment sites and a returns warehouse in one round – we plan as a combined run with several stops.

The 24/7 dispatch team is also reachable when someone in the warehouse notices in the evening that stock will not last the weekend. Every run comes with a fixed price, CMR insurance and live GPS tracking; status updates on loading, ETA and delivery go directly to your warehouse management and your customer service. That keeps your delivery promise resilient even when day-to-day operations get tight.

Frequently asked questions: E-Commerce

How quickly does my fulfilment centre get restocked?

When a vehicle is available, we often load the same day. Same-day direct runs deliver regionally within hours; overnight runs are loaded in the evening and delivered to the dock slot the following morning. That way the goods can still be received, picked and released for orders on the delivery day.

Can Speed Logistics provide capacity at short notice during the Black Friday peak?

Yes. Report your promotional periods and expected volumes as early as possible – then we reserve vehicles before the spot market becomes tight and expensive. We also serve short-notice requests through our 24/7 dispatch team, from a van for part quantities to an articulated truck for full loads. A short lead time of a few days noticeably improves availability and price.

How does Speed Logistics protect high-value electronics against theft?

High-value loads travel in sealed, locked cargo compartments with live GPS tracking and documented handovers to TAPA FSR-oriented standards. Breaks and parking spots are chosen with security in mind. In addition to statutory CMR liability, you can take out extended all-risk insurance for the full value of the goods. For regular runs we agree the security requirements once as a standard for all trips.

Does Speed Logistics also handle container onward-carriage from the port?

Yes. We collect your import goods at the port or rail terminal and take them directly to the e-commerce or fulfilment warehouse – including import customs clearance on request. Direct transport lets you avoid demurrage at the terminal and gives you a plannable delivery window for goods receipt.

Does Speed Logistics also run returns and warehouse transfers?

Yes. Returns consolidation transport from the returns warehouse to the processor as well as transfers between warehouse locations are part of the daily routine – booked individually or as a fixed shuttle schedule with agreed dock slots. You receive a fixed price for each run and the documented proof of delivery. On request, warehouse management and customer service receive automatic status updates for every tour.

What does an express direct run cost for online retailers?

The price depends on distance, vehicle size, weight and time window – a van direct run costs considerably less than an articulated truck. You receive a transparent fixed price from us including loading, CMR insurance and live tracking, usually within a few hours. Express and weekend surcharges are shown separately.

Which mistakes cost online retailers revenue at peak?

Typical ones are booking capacity too late before Black Friday or Christmas, groupage risks with high-value electronics or branded fashion, and a lack of buffer for viral demand. Speed Logistics reserves peak capacity before the spot market tightens, runs high-value loads sealed and TAPA FSR-oriented, and is reachable 24/7 when the weekend stock falls short in the evening.

Why does the direct-run model scale better with growing shops?

Online retailers rarely grow in a straight line – a viral product, a new marketplace or an additional warehouse can change demand overnight. With us you book exactly the capacity you need per run, from van to articulated truck, with no minimum volume or contract term; even multi-leg tours across several locations we plan as a single run.
