General Questions
A partnership becomes beneficial as soon as you can no longer ship orders immediately, don’t have the staff available for assembly and kitting, or have run out of storage space for your products.
Alternatively, as a new entrepreneur, you may simply not have the time to handle immediate shipping yourself. In that case, having a reliable partner by your side to professionally ship all orders to your customers is even more critical for your success.
We are a full-service provider and always offer customized solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
This can include a wide variety of tasks, from assembling goodie bags for events to storing trade show materials or other merchandise. We are here to provide reliable and secure support!

There isn’t a flat-rate answer for this, as the cost depends on several factors. The price is calculated based on a service fee, the number of goodie bags, and the quantity of items included in each bag. Shipping costs are determined by the shipping method and the destination. We would be happy to advise you on this; simply send us an email at event-fulfillment@media-impuls.com or call us at +49 (0)30 44 35 19 49-0.

Request a QuoteFor a successful partnership, it’s essential for us to learn as much as possible about your needs. As a full-service provider, we see ourselves as your personal shipping department. This approach allows us to address your specific wishes precisely and ensure your satisfaction, which guarantees a smooth process and lets you focus on your day-to-day business with peace of mind. As an external partner, we want to work for you just as if we were employees of your own company. This gives you the security you need for your business to remain successful. Alongside these foundational aspects, we must also cover the practical details. For example, the following should be clarified before we begin working together:
- What types of products are involved?
- How many different SKUs (individual items) do you sell?
- How many items are in an average order?
- Are there any special considerations when packing the products?
- Is your business B2C, B2B, or both? Who are your customers?
- Where will you be shipping to? And what shipping methods are required? (e.g., letter post, economy mail for goods, insured parcels, express shipping)
- Do any products require assembly or kitting?
- Will you also need us to process customer returns?
We will clarify these questions, discuss our services, and address any other points together before a potential partnership begins.
There is no standard price for this. Every client has unique requirements, so costs vary. We are always happy to prepare a custom, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs.
