Tom | Craner & Kirkman

Building new functionality daily for our amazing customers 🚀

In what has been two almost record weeks at @CranerKirkman I’m reflecting on some cool stuff we’re doing! We launched an iOS app for our customers a few weeks ago that gives real time visibility and PODs from our CK Logistics operation, we’re also building a front end web app that works the same. We’ve built an autonomous invoicing platform for CK Logistics with Discord integration coming soon. We’re building apps and platforms that take C&K into new spaces to help customers grow their businesses. We also launched our new website cranerkirkman.co.uk. We’ve interviewed for not one, not two but three new roles today. We’ve had an invitation from Amazon to visit them next week and we’re continuing to do great things with 24 hour turnarounds and cost savings continuing to be the norm. Our customers are amazing and we’re innovating with our partners too. We’re having a great year so far, and we’re only just getting started 🚀 #AmazonFBA

Straight in to Amazon, fully checked in and continuing to deliver crazy things like this daily!

Super proud!! Download today - apps.apple.com/app/craner-kir… 🤩

Still immensely proud of everything CK Logistics achieves. The only service in the UK that Amazon recognises and reimburses if goods go missing. We have such big news on our CK Logistics expansion (🚛) coming soon! Watch this space 👀

Been a bit quiet on here of late. Recently passed my Class 1 HGV licence as we look to take CK Logistics to the next level in 2026. And we’ve had our BHX4 slots renewed again for 2026 @CranerKirkman which is a mammoth achievement. January has been mega busy and we have so many exciting things on the horizon this year! 💫

Mega!

18 lorries, 12 Amazon vans and more than we've ever had delivered between the Christmas and New Year period in the past four years. Thanks to our teams working hard to get stuff into Amazon for the last times in 2025! @CranerKirkman

@flippingat30 Merry Christmas my good friend!

Well that’s a nice lifetime rev … Merry Xmas all!

Thanks to some of our amazing clients for their gifts and lots of pizza this week! We’ve done some mammoth deliveries today to hit clients’ inventory before Christmas. Ensuring stock for those last minute consumer gifts!

A huge thank you to one of our clients for treating the team with a Dominos today @CranerKirkman 🍕

Thanks to the team at @AmazonUK EUK5 for their support this week in instant check-ins from our same day turnarounds @CranerKirkman 💫

It’s nearly two years since we got the green light from Amazon to deliver daily into Coventry with CK Logistics. It’s UNHEARD of to get this kind of arrangement (reserved for the big names of the logistics world). Eternally grateful we can do things like this for our clients 💫

Nice to receive another piece of feedback from one of our long term customers who’s making the most of our CK Logistics service this Christmas @CranerKirkman 💫

Grateful to receive feedback like this. Goods received at C&K in the morning, prepped early afternoon and delivered into Amazon and checked in the VERY same day @CranerKirkman. Freeing up cashflow quickly for our clients when it matters most 🔥 #AmazonFBA

The team are working tirelessly behind the scenes to resolve outstanding queries from customers including investigating any missing units. C&K are the only prep business in the UK that are approved by Amazon to deliver directly into their FC’s, having delivered over 2.5m units in the past year. Regardless of outstanding queries, which the team are looking into daily, our current turnaround times are same day/24hrs and it’s important to share the incredible things the CK Logistics service is capable of achieving. Please drop me a DM on Discord and we’ll work together on a resolution for account specific queries.

@CranerKirkman Not being funny but why are you making posts like this when myself and other sellers have had units missing some June with absolutely no update?

2,909 units arrived at 10am. Left C&K at 2.15pm. Checking in at Amazon at 4.00pm. Shipping cost = zero. #AmazonFBA 💫

Had a message today from one of our customers about since leaving C&K their UPS shipping costs have gone through the roof. Our CK Logistics service was created to deliver things like this. Pleased to welcome them back to maximise cost savings and money in their pocket for the Christmas rush 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

It’s been such a tough year for us with some really harsh lessons learnt about business growth. I am so pleased we’re back on track for the time it matters most. We have more vehicles on the road than ever before, to maximise profits for our customers through our industry leading CK Logistics service (which has shipped over 2.5 million units this year)

@davydhl @otgfba Depends. Our biggest customers pay £200 pcm (monthly fee) but pay £0 in shipping so ultimately those doing volumes are saving north of £2k per month on UPS shipping. Smaller sellers I would agree that ‘you don’t save much more’.

@otgfba U know u dont actually save that much more as other prep dont have monthly fees like ck to be part of. Where i am now is actually faster check in and sellable then before with direct service i used during the “mess” period

Any other prep centres doing Direct To Amazon? Exploring prep options
