Orders
What can I change on an order, and when?
It depends on the order's status in Mintsoft:
To change items on an order that's already PRINTED or PICKED, cancel it and place a new one. The original order's pick fee will still apply.
| Order status | Change items | Change address | Delivery instructions | Hold or cancel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEW / ON BACKORDER | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| PRINTED | No | Yes | Yes | Ask us |
| PICKED | No | Yes | No | Ask us |
| DESPATCHED | No | Via courier | No | No |
How do I check an order's status?
Log into Mintsoft and open the order. You'll see whether it's NEW, PRINTED, PICKED or DESPATCHED, exactly which products were sent, and the tracking once it's shipped.
Why hasn't my order shipped yet?
It may still be being picked, packed or processed. D2C orders received by 12pm Monday to Friday go out the same day. B2B and pallet orders can take up to 48 hours, and there may be short delays at peak times.
Can I pause an order?
Yes, as long as it hasn't been processed in the warehouse yet. Select the order in Mintsoft and click HOLD.
Can you rush an urgent order?
In most cases, yes, for an additional charge. Email support@scale3pl.co.uk (UK) or supporteu@scale3pl.co.uk (EU) with the order number and the delivery deadline.
My order shows as fulfilled but not delivered. Why?
It has left our warehouse and is in transit with the courier. Check the tracking link on the order for the latest update.
Delivery & couriers
Which couriers do you use?
Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, FedEx, DHL Express, InPost, Spring, GLS and Mainfreight, plus pallet networks. We choose the right one based on service and destination.
Can I choose next-day, a specific courier or a timed delivery?
Yes, where the service is available for the destination and parcel size. Add it to the delivery instructions when you place the order in Mintsoft. There's no need to email us.
Can you send a pallet?
Yes. We regularly send pallets across the UK, EU and internationally through our freight partners and pallet networks. Add it to the delivery instructions when you place the order in Mintsoft. There's no need to email us. If your customer needs a tail lift, tell us on the paperwork so we can book it with the haulier.
Can the delivery address be changed?
Yes, until the order is despatched, even at the PRINTED or PICKED stage. Once it has shipped, you'll need to ask the courier directly.
Can you arrange a redelivery?
Redeliveries are arranged directly with the courier using the tracking link, not through us.
Can you book a courier collection from another address?
No. We can only arrange collections from our own warehouses.
When will my delivery arrive?
The courier's estimated delivery date is shown in the tracking information.
Tracking & claims
Where do I find tracking and proof of delivery?
Once an order is despatched, the tracking number and link are on the order in Mintsoft. Most couriers show proof of delivery (a signature, photo or confirmation) on the tracking page.
Why hasn't the courier scanned my parcel yet?
Couriers don't scan parcels as they leave our warehouse. The first scan happens when they reach the depot, so allow some time. If there's still no scan after that, the parcel has most likely been lost in transit. Place the order again in Mintsoft, as couriers won't accept a claim without an initial scan.
My parcel hasn't moved or the delivery failed. Can you chase it?
Yes. Email support@scale3pl.co.uk (UK) or supporteu@scale3pl.co.uk (EU) and we'll contact the courier to find out what's happening.
Tracking says delivered but my customer hasn't got it. What now?
How do I claim for a lost or damaged parcel?
I think the wrong item was sent. Can you check?
Yes. Every packing desk is filmed on CCTV, so we can review the footage for that order. If we made a picking error we'll put it right and tell you what we're changing so it doesn't happen again.
Stock & inventory
How do I check my stock levels?
Log into Mintsoft for real-time stock by product. Out-of-stock items also show on the ON BACK ORDER dashboard.
Can I get an alert when stock is running low?
Yes. In Mintsoft, go to the product, then Extra Details → Low Stock Alert Level.
Why does Mintsoft show the wrong stock, or items out of stock?
Usually because stock has just arrived and isn't checked in yet, is allocated to other orders, or has been adjusted. If something still looks wrong, email support@scale3pl.co.uk (UK) or supporteu@scale3pl.co.uk (EU) and we'll check and correct it.
Can you recount a product?
Yes. A standard labour fee applies.
Can you reserve or allocate stock for specific orders?
Yes. We can reserve stock for planned shipments or allocate it to a particular order.
Can you track batch numbers and expiry dates?
Yes. We can record batches and expiry dates and allocate specific batches to orders. If you didn't ask for this when you joined, speak to your account manager.
Goods in
How do I book in a delivery?
Email your delivery details, ASN number and number of pallets to goodsin@startuplogistics.co.uk (UK) or goodsineu@scale3pl.co.uk (EU), and we'll schedule a slot. For EU deliveries, also submit your customs declaration on our website.
When will my stock be checked in?
Usually shortly after it arrives, but please allow up to 24 hours. It shows in your Mintsoft inventory as soon as it's booked in, and we'll confirm the pallet count against your delivery paperwork.
Do I need a tail lift to deliver to you?
No. Both warehouses can unload without one.

Mintsoft & integrations
I can't log in. What should I do?
