As an eCommerce entrepreneur, you’ve worked hard to build a brand that resonates with your customers. However, if you’re operating from outside the UK, the lingering effects of Brexit may still be impacting your operations long after the initial transition. For many business owners, navigating customs delays, higher shipping costs, and dissatisfied customers has become a persistent challenge.
Why Fulfilment Feels Harder Than Ever
Brexit fundamentally altered the logistics landscape for international eCommerce businesses. The introduction of new customs procedures, additional paperwork, and potential supply chain disruptions have made fulfilling orders in the UK significantly more challenging.
Shipping from the EU to the UK now requires additional customs information, which can lead to delays that frustrate customers. Increased costs and squeezed profit margins also make it difficult for EU based products to compete with their UK-based counterparts, resulting in missed opportunities.
For brands like yours, this means:
- Losing customers due to long delivery times: While your product quality might be excellent, modern customers expect speedy deliveries. Extended shipping times may cause potential buyers to consider competitors.
- Damaged reputation from poor customer experiences: Frequent delays and unclear delivery timelines, especially when shipping from EU warehouses, can result in dissatisfied customers and negative reviews.
- Resource strain from managing fulfilment and customer service in-house: Handling inventory management, logistics, and customer interactions remotely adds layers of complexity that strain your team’s time and resources.
