    General Questions

    General Questions

    The basics of how we work

    • What is a 3PL and how does it work?
      • A third-party logistics (3PL) provider like Brisbane Logistics handles storage, fulfilment and transport on your behalf, so you don’t need your own warehouse, staff or fleet to get stock to your customers.
    • Where is Brisbane Logistics located?
      • Our facility is at 20 Navigator Place, Hemmant QLD, close to the Port of Brisbane, the airport and the CBD, with easy access for both inbound freight and outbound distribution.
    • Do you work with small and growing businesses, or only large accounts?
      • Both. Our services flex with you, from a handful of pallets to full-scale fulfilment, so you’re not locked into space or capacity you don’t need yet.
    • What industries do you support?
      • We work across e-commerce and retail, wholesale and distribution, food and beverage, and manufacturing. See our Industries page for what that looks like for your sector specifically.

    Services

    Services

    What’s included, what’s not

    • Which services can I combine, and which are standalone?
      • Most clients combine warehousing with pick & pack and transport, but every service can be used on its own, for example cross docking without ongoing storage.
    • Do you offer same-day dispatch?
      • Yes. Orders received before our daily cutoff are picked, packed and dispatched the same day.
    • Can you handle temperature-sensitive or fragile goods?
      • Yes, with compliance-led receiving and handling processes. Talk to us about your specific product requirements during onboarding.
    • Is there a minimum volume to work with you?
      • No fixed minimum. We scope every quote around your actual volume and growth plans.


    Account & Support

    Account & Support

    Who you’ll talk to

    • Will I have a dedicated point of contact?
      • Yes. Every client is assigned an account contact, not a rotating support queue, so you’re always talking to someone who knows your account.
    • How do I get updates on my stock or an order?
      • Through regular reporting from our WMS, plus direct contact with your account manager for anything urgent. Real-time client portal access is on our roadmap.
    • What happens if something goes wrong with an order?
      • You’ll hear from us proactively, not the other way around. Our team flags discrepancies and resolves them before they become your problem.
    • What are your support hours?
      • Our team is available during standard Brisbane business hours, with agreed escalation paths for urgent freight issues outside those hours.

    Onboarding & Switching

    Onboarding & Switching

    Getting started, or moving over

    • How long does onboarding take?
      • Most clients are fully onboarded and receiving stock within one to two weeks, depending on integration complexity.
    • We’re currently with another 3PL. How do we switch?
      • We manage the transition plan with you, including stock transfer timing, so there’s no gap in your fulfilment while you switch.
    • What do you need from us to get started?
      • A rough idea of volume, product type and any systems you use (e-commerce platform, WMS). We’ll handle the rest during onboarding.
    • Is there a contract lock-in period?
      • We’re happy to discuss terms that suit your business. Talk to our team about what flexibility looks like for you.
