Cargo Preparation:
Pallet Type: All non-small parcel deliveries must be palletised. When delivering stock to EU countries, use Standard EURO pallets (120 × 80 cm).
Labelling: Each individual pallet must carry a valid FNSKU or shipping label. Ensure labels include:
Seller name
To and from addresses
PO numbers
Number of boxes
“Pallet #____ of ____ pallets” in the top right-hand corner of one of the sides of the unitised load for easy visibility.
Wrapping: Pallets must be stable and shrink-wrapped using transparent plastic. Securely stretch-wrap cartons to pallets (at least three times each quarter). The stretch-wrap must be tight and affix the product completely to the pallet to prevent shifting. Note: Pallets wrapped in black or opaque stretch-wrap will be rejected.
Max Pallet Height & Stacking:
Single Pallet: Must not exceed 1.8 m in height.
Double Stacked: Total height must not exceed 3.0 m (including pallet height). No individual pallet within the stack may be higher than 1.8 m.
Note: Ensure a minimum of 30 cm clearance remains between the top of the pallets and the roof of the vehicle.
Weight Limits: The total weight of a single pallet must not exceed 500 kg. Individual cartons on the pallet must not exceed 23 kg unless containing a single oversized item.
Stability: Inventory must be loaded in a stable manner so that when the stretch wrap is removed, the inventory remains upright and does not fall over.
Streamlining Your UK Intake: The European Bridge to LBA2
While your primary inventory may reside on the continent, the specialized requirements of the LBA2 facility in Doncaster demand a localized approach that prioritizes flow over volume. FLEX. operates as your expert cross-channel coordinator, ensuring that the transition from European staging to the British market is handled with surgical precision. To optimize your presence in this high-capacity Northern hub, focus on these tactical checkpoints:
Frictionless Border Integration: Clearing the hurdle of post-Brexit regulations is the foundation of any successful LBA2 delivery. Our customs clearance expertise focuses on pre-validating your documentation and managing fiscal representation before your freight ever reaches the Channel. By resolving potential duty and VAT discrepancies at the European origin, we transform complex international shipping into a predictable domestic-style delivery for the Doncaster docks.
Agile Inventory Buffering: To combat the unpredictability of UK intake windows, our pre-Amazon storage acts as a flexible valve for your supply chain. Instead of risking "Return to Sender" scenarios due to missed appointments, we hold your bulk stock in our strategic UK hubs and drip-feed it into the LBA2 network exactly when the system has capacity. This ensures your Carrier Central windows are met with 100% reliability, effectively eliminating trailer detention costs.
Compliance-Driven Last-Mile Coordination: Success at LBA2 requires more than just getting the goods to the gate; it requires perfect vehicle and pallet synchronization. Forwarding to FBA services guarantee that every shipment arrives on a compliant 7.5-tonne vehicle with the mandatory 1.8-meter pallet height profile. We synchronize the final mile to ensure your freight is "receive-ready," allowing the automated systems in Doncaster to process your inventory without administrative friction.
