"We've been shipping mail order since the mid-1990s — back when it was magazine ads, phone orders and a lot of paperwork. Shopify just made it faster."
Packhouse Fulfilment isn't a startup guessing at logistics. Behind it is All Terrain Cycles Limited — a real UK retailer that has been picking, packing and dispatching mail order for nearly 30 years.
We started in the mid-1990s, when "ecommerce" meant an ad in a magazine, a ringing phone, and order forms filled in by hand. We've dispatched through every era since — catalogue, fax, early web, and for the last three-plus years, Shopify, where our own store now runs day to day.
That history matters. We already know what a launch-day spike feels like, why the unboxing is part of your brand, what a "where's my order?" email costs you — and how much trust it takes to hand someone your entire inventory. Bikes and parts taught us to ship everything from a tiny inner tube to big, awkward boxes, accurately and fast.
We're not the biggest fulfilment house in the UK. We're the one that's been doing this the longest way before it was fashionable — and we treat your orders like our own, because ours go out the same door.
