The Northern Ireland Advantage for Beauty & Skincare Fulfilment
Ship once, clear customs once, and reach both the UK and EU with speed and reliability. Meteor Space offers beauty and skincare brands a unique fulfilment advantage from our Northern Ireland hub.
Why Location Matters in Beauty & Skincare Fulfilment
Beauty and skincare brands compete in a market where presentation, speed, and reliability are everything. Customers expect their products to arrive quickly, undamaged, and beautifully packaged and any delays or mistakes can impact your brand reputation.
Since Brexit, many brands in the UK and Ireland have faced new fulfilment challenges: duplicated customs processes, added tariffs, and slower delivery times when shipping across borders. For beauty and skincare businesses, where products are often fragile and premium, these hurdles can be costly.
Meteor Space removes these challenges by offering a strategic fulfilment hub in Northern Ireland that gives you direct, duty-free access to both the UK and EU.
Ship Once, Pay Customs Once
For many beauty and skincare brands, Brexit has made cross-border fulfilment complicated. Shipping stock into mainland UK often means going through customs twice, once on arrival and again when moving products into the EU. This duplication adds tariffs, delays, and unnecessary costs, creating frustration for both brands and customers.
Meteor Space’s Northern Ireland location removes this challenge. You ship stock to us once and pay customs only once. From there, we can fulfil orders seamlessly into both the UK and EU without duplicate duties or border delays. The result is faster shipping times, lower costs, and a smoother supply chain, helping you deliver the premium service your beauty customers expect.
One Central Hub for Growth
Many beauty and skincare brands feel forced to split stock between separate warehouses in the UK and EU in order to serve both markets, which creates added complexity, higher costs, and difficulties maintaining accurate inventory. Meteor Space solves this by providing one central hub in Northern Ireland, where you can store all your products and reach both regions seamlessly. Centralising fulfilment not only reduces operational headaches but also gives you full visibility over your stock in real time, so you always know exactly what you have, where it is, and how quickly it can be delivered.
For growing beauty and skincare companies, this approach removes the need to duplicate resources across multiple locations. Instead, you can scale without worrying about cross-border logistics or running out of capacity. By consolidating with Meteor Space, you save time and money, simplify supplier relationships, and protect your brand reputation with consistent, reliable fulfilment. It also frees up your team to focus on the things that matter most creating innovative new products, building your brand, and delivering the flawless customer experience beauty buyers expect.
