Who we are
and what we do
We help UK and international brands expand into the EU markets with unburdening fulfillment solutions. Shipping to the EU can be quite a hassle when it comes to customs and compliance. That’s why our end-to-end services cover everything: from storage to shipping, and even from shipping to shopper satisfaction.
Selling to the EU is complex. Right?
Not with us. The various regulations and strict administrative requirements can slow down your growth, but at Farside, we remove those barriers for you. All you need to do is focus on selling, while we concentrate on everything that goes with delivering your parcels.
We advise and support you in…
customs-related paperwork;
customs checks and delays;
high cross-border return costs;
packaging and environmental regulations.
Farside does far more
We operate from a strategic location.
A central warehouse in Belgium, which allows us to ship fast across the EU.
We handle all finishing touches.
Such as custom packaging, inserts, samples, loyalty programmes and subscription boxes.
We adopt a growth partner mindset.
Providing advice beyond logistics, supporting retail and omnichannel strategies, and executing campaigns.
We connect with your platform
We integrate with any online shop or tech stack. No need to worry about complicated setups or technical updates. You focus on running your business, while we make sure everything runs smoothly.
Way of work
One-stop in four steps
01. Which markets do you want to reach? What targets are you aiming for? And how fast do you want to scale? First, we get to know each other and discuss your goals. This helps us understand your ambitions and define the best approach for your EU expansion.
Strategy call
02. Based on your needs, we map out a tailored fulfillment procedure. This proposal outlines how we would prepare your pallets, seal your goods and manage everything, including customs checks. Once approved, we put the plan into action.
Logistical solution
03. Once your goods are in good hands (ours, obviously), we can improve your shipping or shopper’s experience. Separate deliveries for a goodie bag? We’ll receive, assemble and ship them. Need custom packaging? We’ll take care of it too.
Packaging plan
04.
From direct mail campaigns and integration with your webshop, to event and POS material setups – we go far beyond traditional warehousing. Moreover, most brands are onboarded in a few days only. Looking for a service that’s as full as it is fast?

We’re known for finding solutions where others see complexity.
-
No. Warehousing, picking, packing and shipping are just the basics. We go further by adding value in every step of the process.
Think of:
custom packaging;
inserts and samples;
loyalty fulfillment;
assembly and finishing;
returns optimisation;
packaging advice to reduce costs.
Fulfillment shouldn’t be a necessary evil. It can strengthen your brand.
-
We manage returns locally within the EU, which makes the process faster and more customer-friendly.
We can:
inspect returned goods;
repack and restock;
disassemble for refurbishment;
prepare items for second-life sales.
All designed to protect your margins and enhance your customer experience.
-
Absolutely. If you sell both direct-to-consumer and through retail partners in the EU, we support both flows from one centralised location.
-
It depends on the complexity, but we move quickly. We start with a strategy call to understand your specific needs. From there, we create a tailored launch plan to get you live as soon as possible.
-
Both matter. But we don’t compete on being the cheapest warehouse. Our focus is on valuable fulfillment, meaning we look at how logistics can improve your customer experience and support long-term growth. If you're only looking for the lowest possible price, we may not be the right partner. If you're looking to build something sustainable in the EU, then we should definitely talk.
-
Many providers focus on automation, speed and cost efficiency. So do we, but we
also go beyond that. With…a personal approach;
creative problem-solving;
customisation;
growth;
added value at every step.
