In reply to Randy. Randy, thanks for sharing those prices. lite prepcenter works with 3PL partners in other parts of the world, and so if someone is interested, we can make connections to Canadian fulfillment companies. Thanks again for sharing.

Hello Steve,

I have a question: what is the going rate in storage fees per square feet and per cubic feet?

Canadian warehouse storage prices are similar to the USA
NUMBER OF PALLETS COST (CAD)
1-5 $25.00/ month
6-10 $22.00/ month
10-25 $20.00/ month
26-50 $18.00/ month
50+ $16.00/ month

How do I track then calculate monthly storage charge per cubic foot when this changes throughout the month as orders or new inventory come in?
If the 2nd to last day of the month customer has 100 cubic ft used, on the last day he has 50 cubic feet used what would the charge be for those two days, how and when to calculate.

Thank you for reaching out regarding how we calculate our inventory storage fees. This is a good question.

If our order fulfillment clients send in a full pallet of merchandise, we will measure the pallet and bill based on the total cubic footage (not including the pallet itself). If our clients send in shipments that are smaller than a full pallet (i.e. – a few cases of product), then we’ll measure those cases or even the individual each SKUs to calculate the storage fees. This ensures our clients are never paying for warehouse space that they’re not actually utilizing.

Do you charge for the pallet volume, when calculating CBM rates? Ie: if my product is 20m3, will you add the m3 of the pallet beneath it to the total volume?

Hello,

I charge by cubic foot. However, I need to convert my charge to pallets in accordance with few clients requirements. However, I have different sizes of pallets in terms of cubic inches/cubic feet.
The pallet is standard size of 42″x48″, but the height differs depending on the cargo type. If I have the approximate volume of each pallet with a specific height, is it a correct method to average the pallet cubic size based on the percent volume of each pallet height? or is there a more efficient method based on your experience?

looking forward for your reply.

Hi Jon –

Thanks for the comment.

When it comes to charging for inventory storage by day vs. by month, as long as the method by which you’re charging for storage remains the same, the only disadvantage would be that some months have a different number of days. For example, if you charge $1 per day for storage, it would come out to be slightly more expensive for a 31-day month than if you charged $30 per month.

Other than that, I do not see any disadvantages to how the storage fee is calculated.

Hope this helps.
