TikTok Shop is exploding – but can your fulfilment keep up? 🚀 “As a channel, TikTok Shop is less profitable compared to other e-com channels, although it also acts as general marketing investment for the brand, supporting other channels. Using one 3PL provider often gives brands a better visibility of the P&L and makes it possible to avoid additional costs related to duplicate warehousing and stock management. For omnichannel brands, choosing one fulfilment partner is usually the best option. Silta team highly recommends ILG.” – Päivi Korvela, Founder of TikTok Shop Partner Agency Silta and Co-Founder of Kanzen Studios

🚨 Big changes are coming for EU shipping in 2026 🚨 From 1 July 2026, the EU is removing the €150 duty-free threshold on imports, and that could have a major impact on your e-commerce shipping costs. What will this mean for your business? 📦 – A proposed €3 duty per item (with different tariff classification codes) – Multi-item orders could face multiple charges – Additional handling fees may apply – Increased customs administration & complexity For brands shipping high volumes of small parcels into Europe, these changes could significantly affect margins and pricing strategies. Now’s the time to get ahead of it. 👉 Check out the link in our bio to calculate your future EU shipping costs and see how these changes could impact your business. #Ecommerce #Logistics #EUShipping #Deminimus

Case Study! 💙 @mrselfportrait, founded in 2013 by Han Chong, has become synonymous with modern femininity and accessible luxury. The brand’s global presence spans prestigious retailers such as Selfridges, Nordstrom, and Net-a-Porter, alongside its own direct-to-consumer channels. The label’s growing cultural influence is reflected in its high-profile following – most notably, Kate Middleton has been seen wearing Self-Portrait designs, reinforcing the brand’s reputation for timeless elegance and broad appeal. Behind the scenes, ILG plays a critical role in maintaining this premium brand perception. By managing fulfilment across all channels, ILG ensures that every customer, whether shopping via global retailers or directly online, receives a seamless, luxury experience that aligns with Self-Portrait’s elevated image.

Charity of the Year 🧡…
Charity of the Year 🧡 @chestnuttreehouse is a children’s hospice for Sussex and South East Hampshire who’s mission is to help those in their care, and their loved ones, make the most of the precious time they have left together. The generosity of the local community makes this happen. It costs almost £9 million to run the hospice, with the NHS grant only funding less than a tenth of these costs. The rest comes from the amazing donations they receive, fundraising, gifts in wills, shops, the Chestnut Tree House lottery and volunteering. We can’t wait to get involved, raise vital funds and support this amazing cause throughout the year.💙
