Ship from Store: Turning Store Inventory into a Faster Fulfilment Channel

Slow delivery is still one of the top reasons online shoppers abandon their cart. Central warehouses alone cannot always keep up with rising expectations for speed and convenience. 

At the same time, many retailers have store inventory that remains underused. Landmark Global's Ship from Store service turns that inventory into a local fulfilment and returns channel, helping Belgian retailers deliver faster, reduce last-mile pressure and make better use of what they already have.

Online orders are prepared in-store and collected the same day when requested before 11:30, or the next day otherwise. They are then delivered directly to the customer's home or to a pick-up point of their choice. 

Stores can also accept customer returns: customers bring returns to the store, the store prepares the return shipment to the retailer’s warehouse, and Landmark Global picks up and routes these parcels through the same Ship from Store flow. 

Ship from Store also supports direct injection into the Belgian last-mile network, helping parcels move faster without unnecessary hub relabelling. Labels are generated through Mercury, Landmark Global's transport management platform for parcel preparation, labelling and store-specific service configurations. 

The model can drive online sales growth of 25–30%, increase basket size by up to 20% and unlock significant operational savings by reducing last-mile costs, improving inventory use and lowering carbon footprint. This makes fulfilment faster, more cost-efficient and more sustainable, while simplifying reverse logistics.
