Location: Leicester,UK Manchester, UK
Size: 1-5

Immaculate Scents is a Leicester based candle store, created in 2017 by Wael and Nour a Lebanese immigrant couple living in England, they have started their retail business by selling on Amazon before transitioning in 2021 to Shopify.
The brand already had existing customers in Leicester (central UK) and a good idea of where a majority of orders would come from, Else assisted in finding Housers to store their inventory, running background checks to ensure that operations could begin as soon as possible and that customer’s expectation in terms of delivery speed could be met on their very first few orders.
“In 2020 we decided to switch from a dropshipping model to holding inventory because of the supply chain’s unpredictability caused by the pandemic; in 6 months we had 2 rather unimpressive experiences with warehouses and made the mistake of sending them too much inventory which caused us a lot of frustration when we realised they were not a fit for us and tried to get our products back.
We have already been contacted by Else previously and we figured “let’s give it a try” because of the promise of ultra fast shipping and the absence of long term contracts, the salesperson told us that we could send a small inventory to try it out and get out of it if we were not satisfied.
It has worked fantastic for us, we’ve quickly noticed how our sales was much more than anything we have seen on Amazon and i believe much of it would be tied to the word of mouth about our fast fulfilment, the customer support which is an absolutely essential part for us has been irreproachable, it’s very reassuring to know that whatever happens you can talk to someone about it immediately”
“Everything is fast and flexible, even the first contact, it feels like everything is made specifically for you and that feels wonderful!”
We’ve had a really productive year, we’re planning to conquer more markets in the UK and perhaps outside of it.
A specialist will get in touch today to chat about your
vision and discuss your fulfillment strategy!
Location: Montreal, Canada
Size: 1-5
Store: http://afrokings.shop
Wanted to quickly change market from Toronto to Montreal.
Inventory too small for traditional 3PL solutions.
Set up operations in 1 week.
Achieved 40% sales growth in 3 months.
Afro kings is a Montreal based beauty brand specializing in afro men’s hair care products, founded in 2020 by Laurent Kouame, they initially operated in Toronto out of Laurent’s apartment before deciding to move their operations to Montreal where they noticed higher demand for their products.
Else and Afrokings began their partnership in May 2020, we helped with quick installation and local fulfillment. With only 200 products to start with it would have been arduous to find a reliable 3PL partner as they tend to have minimums of around 300+ items, luckily at Else we have none, which meant that once the storage location and inventory size were confirmed, we simply set up the Housers accordingly and in less than a week Afrokings was ready to fulfill their first order.
“It sounded strange to me at first that they would give my products to strangers especially with the pandemic going on but then I decided to try it because of the no contract deal and because I had to make a move quick, moving from Toronto to Montreal and i wasn’t getting any response from other warehousing services. I think it’s the best decision i made in 2020, we began fulfilling orders as they (slowly!) came in and i knew i was onto something when customers started writing emails just to tell me how happy they were with our delivery speed! We achieved really unexpected results (+40%) thanks to the word of mouth about our fast delivery.”
“The plan for 2022 is to slowly transition from reselling branded products to proposing our own products to our customers. We will start with Montreal before expanding to other cities like Quebec and maybe going back to the GTA. We will be experimenting with inventory sizes and SKU count a lot but i’m totally confident that Else can handle it all! “
