Storage that flexes with your season
Stock levels are not flat across the year. Your storage cost should not be either.
Stock levels are not flat across the year. You build before peak, you run down afterwards, and a supplier delay can leave you holding twice what you planned for a month.
Storage pricing should follow that curve rather than lock you to your busiest month.
How storage is charged
Australian 3PLs typically charge storage per pallet space per week or per month, with some using cubic metre or shelf pricing for smaller inventories.
For a brand holding a few cubic metres of small, light products, pallet pricing can be a blunt instrument. That is a conversation worth having at quote stage rather than discovering on an invoice.
What storage includes
- Inbound stock received and counted against your delivery
- Stock held in known locations rather than a general pile
- Visibility of what we actually hold, not what the paperwork says
- Space that can flex up before peak and back down afterwards
Common questions
- How much storage do I need?
- As a rough guide, a pallet space holds around two cubic metres. If you are unsure, give your best estimate in a quote request — we would rather correct it together than have you guess alone.
- What happens if my stock grows?
- Storage scales with what you hold. There is no penalty for growing, and no minimum charge holding you at a level you have moved past.
