Real Brands. Real Challenges.
Different brands. Different challenges. One more considered approach to fulfilment
Growing an ecommerce brand rarely comes with a straightforward logistics problem.
"Sometimes order volume has outgrown the warehouse. Sometimes returns are creating too much work. Sometimes products need more care than a standard pick-and-pack operation can provide."
"The stories below show how Freckl works alongside growing brands to solve those challenges — from migration and peak-season scaling to custom packing, inventory accuracy and everyday fulfilment."
What Are You Trying to Solve?
Order volume is growing, but the existing operation is not keeping pace.
Packaging, presentation and returns must reflect the quality of the brand — not a generic warehouse.
A better fulfilment partner is needed without disrupting customer orders or operations.
Promotions, launches and seasonal demand are putting pressure on warehouse operations.
Incorrect picks, damaged products and inventory discrepancies are creating unnecessary customer service load.
Custom packaging, kitting, wholesale, personalised orders — requirements that do not fit a standard 3PL model.
What Our Clients Say...
THE CHALLENGE
Sophie needed a fulfilment partner that could handle warehousing, inventory management and pick-and-pack operations from launch — allowing the leadership team to focus entirely on product development, brand building and growth.
THE FRECKL APPROACH
Freckl provides warehousing, inventory management, pick-and-pack, returns processing, Shopify integration, kitting, branded packaging and both domestic and international shipping — tailored for the beauty brand's specific requirements.
THE OUTCOME
A trusted operational foundation from launch, allowing the So Topical team to focus entirely on the brand. Sophie publicly described Freckl as the "absolute best 3PL in Sydney."
"The absolute best 3PL in Sydney — the team has been absolutely fabulous."

3PL Case Studies & Customer Story FAQs
Q1. What types of brands does Freckl work with?
Freckl specialises in fashion, beauty and ecommerce brands that need a more considered approach to fulfilment. Clients are typically established and growing brands looking for reliable fulfilment, flexible operations and support beyond basic storage and pick-and-pack.
Q2. What challenges can Freckl help an ecommerce brand solve?
Freckl helps brands with scaling fulfilment, improving inventory accuracy, managing returns, handling custom packaging requirements, supporting peak periods and migrating away from an existing 3PL. The right approach depends on the brand's products, order profile and operational requirements.
Q3. Can Freckl help if we are unhappy with our current 3PL?
Yes. Freckl uses a structured migration process designed to move inventory, integrations and fulfilment operations in stages rather than switching everything at once. The goal is to make the transition without disrupting customer orders.
Q4. How does Freckl help brands scale during peak periods?
Freckl's operation is designed to accommodate changes in order volume, including seasonal peaks, promotions and product launches. The goal is to maintain reliable fulfilment performance as demand changes rather than forcing brands into a fixed operating model.
Q5. Can Freckl handle custom packaging and special fulfilment requirements?
Yes. Freckl supports requirements such as tissue wrapping, custom inserts, personalised orders, garment steaming and PR packages. Custom requirements are agreed upfront so the process is applied consistently across orders.
Q6. Does Freckl fulfil returns as well as outgoing orders?
Yes. Returns are logged, quality-checked and re-folded before being returned to inventory or quarantined if the item is damaged or unsaleable.
Q7. Can Freckl support both DTC and wholesale fulfilment?
Yes. Freckl supports DTC ecommerce as well as B2B and wholesale fulfilment, including packing lists, EDI administration and pallet shrink-wrapping.
Q8. Does Freckl require a long-term contract?
No. Freckl operates with a no lock-in model and no exit fee. There are no fixed-term commitments or minimum order requirements, giving growing brands flexibility as their volumes change.
Q9. How quickly can a brand move its fulfilment to Freckl?
The timeframe depends on the brand's SKU count, inventory, integrations, packaging requirements and existing 3PL. Freckl uses a staged migration process covering planning, inventory transfer, system setup and testing before the operation goes live.
Q10. How do I know if Freckl is the right 3PL for my brand?
Look beyond the headline fulfilment rate. Consider current error rates, inventory accuracy, returns process, packaging requirements, customer experience, technology integrations, scalability and contract terms. If the current 3PL is creating operational friction as the brand grows, it may be time to review options. Freckl recommends comparing the full cost and service structure rather than simply comparing one per-order price.
