Most brands are good at sourcing beauty products from China. Fewer are ready for what happens between “product leaves the factory” and “product legally sits on an EU shelf.”

Swipe through for the 7 steps in between, plus the certifications, deadlines, and figures worth having on file before you need them.

Nobody starts a beauty brand dreaming of the day they'll finally understand EORI numbers, VAT thresholds and the precise post-Brexit customs code for a box of lashes. And yet there's always a Tuesday where you're on hold with a freight forwarder, googling "is glue a liquid," and slowly becoming a customs broker against your will.

Lashify skipped that Tuesday. They handed us the regulated, deeply unglamorous bit, UK fulfilment kitted to their standard and delivered in a local window instead of an ocean-crossing one, and went back to doing what they do best.

Best wishes for peak season, Lashify.

Remember Ava? Her wedding was great. Every problem disappeared with a flutter of her lashes.

brought salon-quality lashes to people’s doors. Their UK customers were sold. The complexity started after checkout, as UK orders still had to be fulfilled from the US.

Because lashes that have to cross an ocean to reach a UK doorstep can turn up late, pricier, or look nothing like what was ordered. None of that is very “wedding day”.

So Lashify handed us the route. We got it sorted. Swipe for how it went. Ava’s lashes, and a good few thousand like them, can vouch for the ending.

These are the lashes Mai ordered for the most important day of her life. As well as for her 10 bridesmaids.

Each lash individually dramatic, they are handled with care one-by-one, signed off by a carrier, talked their way through a customs desk in another country, stayed perfect while being flung through a sorting depot, and still landed on her doorstep flawless, weeks before the most photographed day of her life.

All while she was refereeing a seating chart and an uncle who says he's “only coming if he doesn't have to sit next to your Aunt Olivia.” The lashes made it. The temperamental uncle, we can't help with.

That's the part we take off your hands: fragile, premium product moved from where it's made, signed off, handled, and kitted to the standard your customer paid for, with enough surge capacity that a viral drop doesn't leave anyone empty-handed during the big week.

It’s the perfect unboxing waiting to happen. Best wishes for peak season, Lashify.

You know your logistics has a problem when you can name all four of your warehouses but not all four of your kids.

That's this chart. The pale squares are the good old days: one market, steady orders, a 3PL doing exactly what it should.

Then you open a second market. Then a third. Then someone says "let's do the UAE" over dinner, and you say yes because the conversation was excellent.

Now it's a Tuesday, and you're holding together four warehouses, three couriers, and a spreadsheet called "FINAL_final_v6," calling it logistics when it's mostly adrenaline.

Nothing broke. You just scaled past the setup that got you here, straight into the orange.

Find your square. You already know which colour you're sweating in.

Part 4

The brands that scale fastest do one thing early: They ask for help.

Eric Pong from AfterShip has seen even serious, high-volume companies treat logistics as an afterthought, when a few hours with the right expert can change the whole picture. As he puts it, that conversation can be worth hundreds of thousands, even millions, a year. The kind of complexity a team like Wayfindr handles every day.

Watch Eric on why the best operators bring in help early.

Part 3

Too many brands leave money on the checkout page. You can use AI to suggest the extra products a shopper actually wants, and Eric Pong from AfterShip reckons that can lift your revenue by 1 to 4%.

Previously, someone had to pair products with their add-ons manually, then redo the work whenever buying habits shifted. Now the AI handles it, spotting what to recommend to each shopper on its own.

Watch Eric break down how the AI decides what to put in front of shoppers.

Part 2

Returns are where a lot of e-commerce margin quietly disappears, so Nick asked Eric Pong from AfterShip how brands should really think about them.

Eric's take is that the software is the easy part. You can have any of the big returns tools live in an afternoon, but that only handles the admin, not the physical parcel. You might ship from one or two hubs, yet your returns come back from everywhere, and flying each one across the world to recover a single item rarely makes the maths work.

Watch the video to get Eric's opinion on where your focus should be for returns.

Part 1

In e-commerce, brands frequently try to minimize returns. Eric Pong, Director of Partnerships at AfterShip, sits down with Nick to talk about the post-purchase touchpoint almost every brand ignores.

Across one order, you send a customer five to seven shipment notification emails. Order packed. Order shipped. Out for delivery. Open rates north of 50%. That's your most engaged audience, waiting to hear from you, and most brands do nothing with it.

Eric breaks down what post-purchase actually looks like when you treat those moments as engagement instead of receipts.

Most brands that hit a wall going global weren't short on demand.

They were short on a logistics setup that could actually handle it.

We've seen it more times than I can count: great product, real traction, customers in new markets ready to buy. Then the ops layer cracks under the weight of it.

And the cracks are always specific. Managing 12 providers across 3 markets yourself, chasing each one on a different thread. Reconciling rate cards that don't match and invoices nobody can fully explain. No single view of where your stock actually is. Customs delays that sit unowned until a shipment's already stuck. A customer service team answering "where's my order?" with a best guess.

Every new market you add grows the business, but it also multiplies the number of things that can quietly go wrong.

Growth doesn't create those cracks. It just finds them.

Swipe through for the full thought, and if you're mid-expansion and recognising any of this, drop a comment. Happy to talk through what we've seen work.
