• Cost

1. What is your costing structure?
2. Some general figures?
3. Packaging and resources costs?

1. Arguably the first and most common question asked in all investigations into any potential serivces. Our costing is bespoke subject to what it is you are storing, how often stock is likely to turnover (rate of goods in and goods out), whether it can be palletised, whether our pick, pack and send services is required and ultimately how much it is you are storing. Cheaper containerised and self-store options are available too.

2. For some general figures to work upon the storage rate works around a £1.50 per cubic metre. If goods are palletised we charge £3 for receviing and £3 for dispatch with £2.50 per week for EU pallet sized storage and £3.75 for a Standard sized pallet. If you would like containerised storage it is £10 per container.
Our manual handling rate will be around a £20 per hour, with Manager services available upon request with a rate of £30 per hour. If disposal is required then we charge £15.00 for the first 150kgs working on the basis that there are no specific disposal requirements for those goods.

3. Our packaging and resources costs are:
Small boxes = £1.50
Large boxes = £2.00
Packing paper = £9.90
Premium tape = £2.00
Standard tape = £1.50
Bubble wrap = £45 per roll (£4.50 per metre)
Shrink wrap = £7.50
Pallets = available on rotation basis
Other resources avaialble upon request .
