The problems this solves

One cracked palette costs more than the postage saved

Pressed powders shatter, glass leaks, pumps snap in transit. In beauty, a damage refund also means a customer photographing the mess for their followers.

The parcel is the first product experience

Beauty customers buy presentation. A premium serum arriving loose in a grey mailer undoes everything your packaging designer was paid for.

Cosmetics carry dates too

Many cosmetics carry expiry or period-after-opening marks, and Amazon applies expiry rules to them. Stock that outstays its dates becomes unsellable quietly.

How Oakmont handles it

What actually happens

  1. 1

    Inspected at goods-in

    Leaks, cracked components and crushed retail boxes are caught on arrival, photographed and flagged in the portal — before they reach a customer.

  2. 2

    Stored and dated properly

    Shelf-bin storage at £0.90 per bin per week suits small-format beauty SKUs, with expiry dates recorded where products carry them.

  3. 3

    Packed to your presentation spec

    Your branded materials and inserts, fragile pack at £0.75 or bubble wrap at £0.45 for glass and powders — the same finish on order one and order one thousand.

  4. 4

    Dispatched same day, tracked

    Orders in by 2pm ship that day at £0.95 per order. FBA-bound stock is prepped with FNSKU and expiry labelling to Amazon's requirements.

Questions

Asked before, answered here

How do you stop cosmetics getting damaged in the post?

Fragile SKUs are flagged so they are packed the same way every time: bubble wrap at £0.45 for moderate protection or a full fragile pack at £0.75 for glass, palettes and anything that hates couriers. Goods-in inspection also catches units that arrived from your manufacturer already leaking or crushed, with photo alerts so you can claim against the supplier.

Can you pack orders with my branded boxes, tissue and samples?

Yes. Send packaging and sample sachets in as stock and we pack every order to your written spec — box, tissue, insert, sample. A standard mailer is included in the £0.95 order rate, so your own materials replace it rather than stacking on top. Adding a sample or gift to an order is £0.25 per extra unit.

Do beauty products need expiry labelling for Amazon?

Amazon applies its expiry-dated product rules to many cosmetics and topicals, meaning readable expiry labels and sufficient remaining shelf life on arrival at the fulfilment centre. We apply expiry labels at £0.12 per unit during FBA prep and record dates at goods-in, so a shipment is not built from stock Amazon will refuse.

Can you build gift sets and bundles for beauty ranges?

Yes — gift sets, minis bundles and seasonal kits are assembled at £0.25 per extra unit from components in your inventory, and the finished set becomes its own SKU. Product photos at £0.50 per SKU are available if you need shots of the assembled set for listings. Sets can flow to DTC and FBA from the same stock.

Can you ship perfumes and aerosols?

Alcohol-based perfumes and aerosols are classed as dangerous goods for transport, and carrier rules on them vary by service. Tell us exactly what the product is before your first inbound and we will confirm what we can handle and on which services, rather than finding out at dispatch. Most non-aerosol, non-alcohol beauty lines ship without restriction.
