TikTok Fulfilment Service

TikTok Fulfilment Service

With almost 23 million UK users aged 18 or above, and a global reach of around one billion, TikTok is - potentially - an excellent platform for online sellers. This app's popularity has increased dramatically since its establishment in 2016, and its user demographics are continually evolving and growing.

Currently, around 40% of users are aged between 18 and 24, making the Gen-Z demographic a huge target market for ecommerce businesses. However, trends are always changing, opening up further opportunities for online sellers.

In August 2023, a new logistics program called Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT) was launched, making it easier for merchants to sell via this platform. The previous year, TikTok Shop was established in the UK (in fact, it was reintroduced, after the initial response in 2021 was disappointing), allowing users to upload products for sale.

Together, these initiatives provide a powerful and effective selling platform that many businesses can take advantage of - if they learn to maximise their results.

While you can use this service directly through the TikTok operations portal, many UK businesses prefer to use a third party, like Direct Fulfilment 365. Which is the best fit for your business? You're in exactly the right place to find out!

Why Use TikTok Shop Fulfilment?

Hundreds of TikTok Shop UK merchants have already discovered the benefits of this service, with most of them reporting fantastic results.

This is not surprising when you see what TikTok order fulfilment has to offer:

  • Premium Delivery (next working day)
  • Automated fulfilment for all orders made by 7 PM between Monday and Saturday
  • Reduced delivery times due to streamlining processes
  • Improved customer feedback/ratings due to dedicated customer service employees and instant messaging service
Why Use TikTok Shop Fulfilment
How Does It Work

How Does It Work?

TikTok shop merchants pass a percentage of their stock to warehouses or TikTok fulfilment centres. You don't have to send all of your stock, and not all of your products have to be included in the FBT program - this is entirely your choice! TikTok Shop stores as many or as few of your products as you wish.

Once the merchant's items are in place, the scheme can begin...

Product Listing

You create your product listing on TikTok, allowing users to browse and buy at their leisure. The TikTok Seller Centre offers advice on a range of practical issues, but it's up to you to create engaging content to optimise your store.

Order Processing

When a customer places an order, the FBT warehouse staff will pick, pack and label the goods before shipping them by the selected courier. The item is checked against the inventory before being dispatched, and stock levels are carefully managed to eliminate the risk of overselling.

These centres are known for their lightning-fast order processing; statistics suggest that certain brands have seen a significant shipping lead times drop (more than 30% in many cases), as well as an impressive late dispatch rates drop (well over 40!).

Order Tracking

Customers are easily able to track their TikTok shop orders, and real-time updates are sent by email, SMS or through the TikTok Shop app. This is an area where the customer experience often fails, with unreliable - or non-existent - tracking information. Buyers have a right to know where their purchases are and when they will arrive, and the TikTok fulfilment service makes sure they are kept informed of each stage of the journey.

Returns & Customer Services

Under TikTok's current rules, buyers have a 30-day window in which to return eligible items. They will generally check with the seller before issuing a refund, which takes between 3 to 5 working days after the product has been received back at the fulfilment centre.

TikTok sellers can also set their own refund policies, such as returnless refunds and the need for photographic proof. Sellers can learn more about their options on the TikTok Shop Academy.

Flexibility in Inventory Management

Third-party fulfilment providers like Direct Fulfilment 365 allow you to store your products in multiple warehouses across regions or countries, giving you broader coverage and faster delivery options.

While TikTok Fulfilment may have specific locations, third-party logistics/fulfilment providers often let you strategically place inventory closer to your customers.

Businesses with customers spread across multiple regions or international markets could capitalise on this to streamline time-consuming logistics.

Cost Efficiency

TikTok Fulfilment charges fixed fees for storage, packing, and shipping. However, Direct Fulfilment 365 will negotiate fees or tailor our services to your needs, which can save you money if you’re shipping large volumes or need custom solutions.

We also offer discounts for bulk shipping or provide options for managing slow-moving inventory more affordably.

Sellers with high order volumes who want a more affordable solution or need cost-effective storage solutions will find this an attractive option.

TikTok Shop Integration

Our advanced software and user-friendly interface guarantees that you - and your customers - receive one seamless service. While TikTok Fulfilment offers many seller benefits, Direct Fulfilment 365 provides other added-value services that will free merchants from the tedious chores associated with administration.

In short, FBT sellers get the best of both worlds. You provide the products and make sure they look great on your TikTok shop, and we make sure everything else runs smoothly by fully integrating the systems and processes involved.

Divers Fulfilment Channels

TikTok shop fulfilment is specific to orders placed solely on this platform, whereas Direct Fulfilment 365 can fulfil orders from multiple sales channels, such as Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, or even your own website. This allows ecommerce brands to manage their inventory for several platforms from one place!

Custom Packaging and Branding Options

TikTok Fulfilment focuses on standardised packaging, which might limit your ability to create a branded unboxing experience. Direct Fulfilment 365 offers custom packaging with your logo, thank-you notes, discount coupons, or unique designs to boost your brand image.

This is ideal for businesses that prioritise customer experience and want to stand out with creative branding.

Advanced Logistics and Customisation

Direct Fulfilment 365 offers specialised services like temperature-controlled storage, oversized item handling, or kitting/bundling products. These features may not always be available through TikTok Fulfilment.

We can also integrate with your CRM or analytics tools for detailed insights into sales, returns, and shipping performance.

Sellers with unique product needs (e.g., perishable goods, large items) or those looking for more advanced reporting tools will find this particularly beneficial.

Dedicated Account Managers

TikTok Fulfilment focuses on standardised packaging, which might limit your ability to create a branded unboxing experience. Direct Fulfilment 365 offers custom packaging with your logo, thank-you notes, discount coupons, or unique designs to boost your brand image.

This is ideal for businesses that prioritise customer experience and want to stand out with creative branding.

How Does Direct Fulfilment 365 Help?

If you're a TikTok Shop UK creator and merchant, you might wonder why you'd need another company to be involved in the fulfilment operations. After all, TikTok seems to have everything pretty much covered!

The fact is that many businesses can benefit greatly from using a third-party fulfilment service on top of TikTok fulfilment operations.
