Full 3PL

General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.

Editor summary

GNOC is a third-party logistics and ecommerce fulfilment company at Unit 10 Sunflag Park on the Belmont Industrial Estate in Durham, trading as GNOC Ltd (Companies House 08747231, incorporated October 2013). The company sold its own brands online before opening its warehouse to other sellers, and its 3PL service has been on its website since at least October 2023. The main business is storage, pick and pack and shipping for ecommerce brands selling on Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop and other channels, with Seller Fulfilled Prime and FBM alongside FBA prep. The FBA page sets out the prep work: products are inspected on arrival, every unit is scanned and FNSKU labelled, multipacks, bundles and kits are assembled, bags meet Amazon's thickness and suffocation-label rules, cartons are packed within Amazon's weight, dimension and mixed-SKU limits, cartons and pallets are labelled, each shipment is cross-checked against the Seller Central shipment plan, and transport is arranged by parcel, pallet or full load. Pricing is quoted per business, with no published prep rates. Cautions: the dedicated FBA prep page appears in web archives only from January 2026, the warehouse size, accuracy and brand-count figures are the company's own claims, and prep is one line inside a general fulfilment operation.

Services offered

FNSKU labeling: Amazon's per-seller-per-SKU barcode applied before inventory enters an FC. Required for FBA.
Inspection: Per-unit visual and functional QC. Catches damage before Amazon's receive team does.
Bundling: Bundling multiple SKUs into a single buyable unit (e.g., starter packs, gift sets).
Prep: Receiving, labeling, repackaging your inventory to Amazon's exact specs before each shipment.
Polybagging: Suffocation-warning polybagging for soft, fragile, or multi-pack items per Amazon's prep policy.
Long-term storage: Bulk storage beyond Amazon's 6-month long-term limit, often cheaper than FC overage fees.
Returns processing: FBA / FBM returns processing: receive, inspect, regrade, restock, or dispose.
FBM fulfillment: Fulfilled-by-Merchant order pick-pack-ship for Amazon orders that bypass FBA.
Seller Fulfilled Prime: Seller-Fulfilled Prime: ships in 1-2 days from your prep center to qualify for the Prime badge.
