When you apply for a new premises licence, there are a few steps to complete. These include locally advertising the fact that you’ve applied for the licence; taking out an advert in the local newspaper, notifying local authorities, and displaying a notice in a window of our premises for 28 days. We can guide you through this process as we’ve been through it many times before.
Some fulfilment providers will tell you that they don’t need to apply for a premises licence in your name, because they have their own licence.
Although this will save you set-up time, this is very risky in the long-term.
The risk you are taking is that, if any of their other alcohol clients break the law, the fulfilment provider will then lose their premises licence and will immediately have to stop fulfilling all alcohol orders, including yours.
Vdepot instead holds individual premises licences for each client.
The alcohol premises licence takes 4-8 weeks to be processed by the council before we can fulfil orders. We can store your goods and set up your My.Vdepot system account in the meantime.
We can usually start fulfilling your orders 2 working days from the licence going through – provided your products are barcoded and SKU-labelled when they arrive.
Our order fulfilment software integrates with lots of popular webshops. We can also connect to your marketplace accounts and your other business systems, including inventory management, CRM and accounting software.
Each time an order is placed on any of your sales channels, our fulfilment system notifies our team and you can monitor the progress of your orders live online.
We don’t have a generic price list because there is so much variety in what our clients need, what they sell and therefore the right solution for them. We prefer to have a chat with you so that we can calculate the time and resources involved, and give you a fair, accurate proposal.
Other fulfilment companies might share standardised prices with you without asking you any questions, only to adjust your fees a few weeks after you have moved your inventory to their warehouse.
