Media and publishing fulfilment, packed to protect

Cloud9 is a UK third-party fulfilment company based in Sheffield. We store your media stock, then pick, pack and dispatch orders as they come in. Printed media is easy to ruin: a bent book, a creased magazine or a warped record is a return, not a sale. We pack to protect, so books, magazines, print and vinyl arrive flat, clean and in the condition you printed them. From single-title publishers to multi-title ranges, we handle it from one warehouse.

  • Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on a working day.
  • Books, magazines, print and vinyl picked accurately and packed to arrive flat and undamaged.
  • Kitting for bundles, subscription issues and multi-title orders, 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.
  • Live stock and order visibility through your own dashboard.
  • New and small brands get the same attention as large ones.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions publishers and media brands ask us most

How do you stop books and magazines getting bent?
We match the packing to the item, so books, magazines and print ship flat and arrive without bent covers, creases or damaged spines.
Do you handle vinyl and records?
Yes. Records are packed to ship without warping or sleeve damage, so they arrive in the condition they left.
What is your same-day dispatch cut-off?
Orders placed before 2pm on a working day are dispatched the same day.
Can you handle subscription issues and multi-title orders?
Yes. We assemble subscription issues and multi-title bundles to a set spec, so every order is right and ships on schedule.
Do you handle promotional and marketing print?
We fulfil published media and print. For promotional and marketing campaign materials, see our promotional campaign fulfilment page.
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.
