What changes the price for packing & fulfilment
- Number of orders and items per order. Single-item orders in a mailer bag are quick. Orders with several items, tissue wrapping or a handwritten note take far longer each.
- Fragile or awkward products. Glass, candles and liquids need careful packing and more material. Breakages cost you a refund and a review, so this is not where to save time.
- Labels and paperwork. Packing with labels already printed is the simple version. Printing labels, checking each order against the pick list and updating the shop is more work.
- Where the stock is. Most packing happens where your stock is kept. A tidy, labelled stock room makes picking fast, and a jumble of boxes makes it slow.
What is usually included
- Picking, packing and sealing each order
- Attaching labels you supply
- Stacking parcels ready for collection or drop-off
And what is usually not
- Postage and courier costs
- Boxes, mailers and packing materials, unless agreed
- Taking parcels to a post office or drop-off point, unless quoted
- Customer service and handling returns
The one thing that saves the most money
Write a one-page packing standard with a photo of a correctly packed order and leave it by the bench. It makes a new packer accurate from the first parcel, and wrong items cost far more than the packing does.

What makes packing & fulfilment more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
