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

Editor summary

Orchard Distribution is an ecommerce fulfilment and distribution company at 17a Concession Road, Culloville, near Newry in Northern Ireland, trading as Orchard Distribution Ltd (Companies House NI632471, incorporated 2015 and renamed in 2021). Its main business is pick, pack and same-day shipping for direct-to-consumer brands, with returns, kitting, customs clearance and Amazon FBM alongside. The FBA prep page sets out the service: deliveries are counted and checked against the purchase order, units are FNSKU labelled, polybagged with suffocation warnings or bubble wrapped, bundled into sets and given expiry labels where needed, then cartons are packed within Amazon's limits with FBA box labels matched to the shipment plan, and pallets are built and sent to the assigned fulfilment centre. Because the warehouse is in Northern Ireland, the company says it can ship prepared stock to both Amazon UK and Amazon EU fulfilment centres from one building. Prep is priced per unit on a quote. Cautions: the homepage still carries unfinished template text, including placeholder blurbs for air, rail and sea freight services that no other page describes; the site claims 25 years of industry experience while the company and its domain date from 2015 and 2021; and the email in the site header is mistyped, so use the address on the contact page.
