The problems this solves
Q4 makes the year — or breaks it
Toy demand concentrates into a few brutal weeks. A fulfilment operation that runs fine in June falls over in November, exactly when a missed dispatch costs most.
The box is part of the toy
Collectors and gift buyers reject crushed corners and torn window boxes. Damage that would pass on a phone case is a return on a toy.
Multipacks and bundles are where the margin is
Twin packs, family bundles and gift sets lift average order value — but assembling them yourself the week before Black Friday is how peak season goes wrong.
How Oakmont handles it
What actually happens
- 1
Stock in before the season
Containers and inbound freight received — devanning at £250 for a 20ft, £375 for a 40ft — with counts and condition photographed at goods-in.
- 2
Bundles built ahead of demand
Multipacks and gift sets assembled at £0.25 per extra unit in the quiet weeks, so peak-season orders pick as a single unit.
- 3
Labelled without wrecking the box
FNSKU, safety and warning labels applied cleanly to retail packaging; supplied compliance labels applied as part of relabelling work.
- 4
Peak dispatch, same cut-off
The 2pm same-day cut-off holds in December as in June, with live inventory showing exactly how much of each line the season has left.

Questions
Asked before, answered here
Can you handle my Christmas peak without minimums the rest of the year?
Yes — that mismatch is exactly what our terms are shaped for. There are no volume minimums and no annual contract, so a business doing most of its year in Q4 pays per order in the quiet months rather than paying for idle capacity. Get stock in ahead of the season and the 2pm same-day cut-off holds through peak.
Can you make up multipacks and toy bundles?
Yes. Twin packs, family bundles and mixed gift sets are assembled at £0.25 per extra unit and become their own SKU, ready for FBA or DTC. Building bundles before peak means they pick as one unit when volume hits, which protects both speed and accuracy in your busiest weeks.
How do you label toys for Amazon without damaging retail packaging?
FNSKU labels are placed over the manufacturer barcode without obscuring artwork, warnings or age marks, and we avoid tape and label positions that tear window boxes on removal. Units arriving from the supplier with crushed or torn packaging are photographed at goods-in and flagged, so damaged boxes are not silently sent to customers.
Can you apply safety and warning labels to toys?
We apply the labels your product requires — supplied by you or printed to your artwork — as relabelling work, including choking-hazard and age warnings where your compliance process calls for them. Responsibility for what the label must say sits with you as the seller; making sure it is on every unit, straight and readable, sits with us.
What does it cost to receive a container of toys?
Container devanning is £250 for a 20ft and £375 for a 40ft, unloaded, counted and shelved against your announced inbound. Storage after that is £3.25 per pallet per week or £1.55 per cubic metre per week — and stock bound for FBA prep gets its first 30 days of storage free.
