Beauty and cosmetics fulfilment, handled with care

Cloud9 is a UK third-party fulfilment company based in Sheffield. We store your beauty stock, then pick, pack and dispatch orders as they come in. Beauty is not simple to ship: glass bottles and compacts break, many lines carry dates, and a lot of it is bought as a gift. That takes careful handling, batch and date control, and packing that protects. We store beauty lines by batch and date, pick accurately, and pack to arrive intact and looking right.

  • Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on a working day.
  • Batch and expiry tracked at SKU level, with older stock picked first.
  • Fragile items like glass bottles and compacts packed to arrive intact.
  • Kitting for gift sets, subscription boxes and bundles, assembled in the warehouse.
  • Integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and the other major platforms and marketplaces.
  • Delivered by the major UK carriers, with tracking passed back to your store.
  • New and small brands get the same attention as large ones.

The beauty and cosmetics we handle

Skincare

Serums, creams and lotions stored with batch and date control, picked in date order and packed to protect.

Makeup & cosmetics

Compacts, palettes and colour cosmetics handled carefully, so fragile items arrive intact.

Fragrance & glass

Bottles and glass packaged to survive transit, not just to fit a box.

Gift sets & subscription

Beauty gift sets and subscription boxes assembled to a set spec, so every one is complete and looks the part.

How we handle beauty and cosmetics

Beauty products carry dates and break easily. We track batch and expiry at SKU level and rotate stock so the oldest goes out first, which means nothing ships close to its date and we can trace a batch if it needs pulling. Fragile lines like glass bottles and compacts are packed to survive transit. We store and ship general beauty and cosmetics; responsibility for product compliance, including labelling and safety information, sits with you as the brand.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions beauty brands ask us most

Do you track batch and expiry on cosmetics?
Yes. We track batch and expiry at SKU level, pick in date order so the oldest goes out first, and can trace any batch if it needs pulling.
How do you protect fragile items like glass bottles?
We match the packing to the item, so glass bottles, compacts and delicate packaging are protected properly and arrive intact.
What is your same-day dispatch cut-off?
Orders placed before 2pm on a working day are dispatched the same day.
Can you assemble beauty gift sets and subscription boxes?
Yes. We build gift sets, subscription boxes and bundles to a set spec in the warehouse, so every one is complete and looks the part.
Do you handle product compliance and labelling?
We store and ship your beauty and cosmetics. Product compliance, including labelling and the responsible-person duty, sits with you as the brand, and we handle the storage, picking and shipping.
Is there a minimum order volume?
There's no hard minimum to get started. Our standard guideline is around five orders a week for each pallet space your stock uses, so it scales with the room you take up rather than a flat number. New brands also get a 90-day exemption while you find your feet, so being small or just launching is never a barrier.
