The full list behind our setups, rankings and guides, grouped by the job each product does.
About this list
One page per product, with the reason we chose it.
Each product here has its own page with the reason we picked it, the seller it suits, its typical UK price and every setup, ranking and guide that uses it. Start from the job you need doing and compare the picks side by side.
We group products by the job they do at your desk. Shipping kit covers the printer, labels, scales and everything that goes into a parcel. Studio kit covers the phone mount, light, camera and sound for photos and live shows. Storage keeps stock findable, and services handle postage, listings and the books.
Prices are typical UK bands, so check the retailer for today's price. Buy through the retailer link on each product page. If a product goes off sale, its page names the replacement we recommend, and our setups switch to it.

Printers, labels, scales, mailers and protection: everything between the shelf and the post office.
Camera, light and sound
Kit for listing photos and live shows, from a phone mount to a capture card.
Storage and workspace
Shelving, tubs and tables that keep stock in order and the desk clear.
Software and services
Postage tools, cross-listing, accounts and print services, priced by the month or the job.
Questions
Are these prices live?
No. Each price is a typical UK band from the retailers we checked, and retail prices move daily. Open the retailer link on the product page for today's price.
What happens when a product is discontinued?
Its page stays up and points to the replacement we recommend. Every setup and ranking that used it switches to that replacement at the same time.
Why are some products services instead of kit?
At volume, postage, accounting and cross-listing tools save more time than most hardware. We list them with the same reasoning as kit: the job, the seller it suits and what it costs a month.
Do you earn money from these links?
Some retailer links earn us a small commission, and the price you pay stays the same. Commission plays no part in which product we pick or where it ranks, and the How we pick page sets out the rules.
Has someone checked each product?
Each product page shows the date a person last checked it. A product without a date is waiting for its first check, so read its typical band as a guide and confirm the details on the retailer page.
Do I need everything on this list to start?
No. You can start with a label printer, a parcel scale and mailers that fit what you sell. The Setup Builder picks a kit for your platform and order volume, and the Packaging Builder works out your monthly supplies.
Can I see which setups use a product?
Yes. Open the product page and you'll find every setup, ranking and guide that includes it, so you can see the kit that sits around it before you buy.
