Picking Accuracy

Scale 3PL maintains a 99.8% picking accuracy target for all items that have barcodes recorded in Mintsoft.

Barcode scanning significantly reduces fulfilment errors and is recommended for all products.

Same Day Dispatch

Direct-to-consumer (D2C) orders received before 12:00 (midday) are normally dispatched the same working day.

Orders received after this time are normally dispatched the following working day.

Goods In Processing

Inbound deliveries are normally processed within 24 hours of arrival.

Once goods are processed, stock becomes available in Mintsoft for order fulfilment.

Receiving times may vary during peak operational periods or for large deliveries.

Support Response Time

Emails sent to the Scale 3PL support team will normally receive an initial response within 2 hours during business hours.

Support requests should be sent to:

UK customers
support@scale3pl.co.uk

EU customers
supporteu@scale3pl.co.uk

5. Additional Controls

Service levels apply during normal warehouse operating periods and may vary during peak trading periods.

Clients should notify Scale 3PL of large promotional campaigns or expected increases in order volume.
