Pallet Storage in Auckland

How business pallet storage works, what it costs, and when it makes sense to move from storage only to a full 3PL service.

Running out of room, bringing in a container of stock, or building up for peak season? Pallet storage lets your business store stock in a professional warehouse by the pallet, without signing a lease or running your own site. This guide explains how warehouse storage works in Auckland, what affects the cost, and what to look for in a provider.

What Is Pallet Storage?

Pallet storage is warehouse space for businesses, charged by the pallet. Your stock is received, recorded and stored in racking, then sent out when you need it. It is different from self storage: a warehouse team handles your stock with forklifts, keeps count of what is there, and can pick, pack and deliver it for you.

Who Uses Pallet Storage?

  • Importers bringing in containers of stock that need somewhere to go
  • Businesses out of space that need overflow storage near their own site
  • Seasonal brands building stock ahead of peak periods such as Christmas
  • Growing brands that do not want the cost and commitment of their own warehouse
  • Overseas brands, such as Australian brands entering NZ, that need stock held locally

How Pallet Storage Is Charged

Most warehouses in New Zealand charge for storage per pallet, per week, plus handling when pallets come in and go out. Extra services, such as labelling, wrapping or picking individual cartons, are usually charged separately.

What affects the cost:

  • How many pallets you store, and for how long
  • Pallet size, height and weight
  • How often stock moves in and out
  • Whether you need picking, labelling or other value added services
  • Whether stock arrives loose in a container or already on pallets

Storage Only or Full 3PL?

Pallet storage suits stock that sits for a while and moves out in bulk. If you are sending lots of orders, supplying retailers, or want one partner for storage, picking and delivery, a full third party logistics (3PL) service is usually better value. We hold your stock, process orders, build pallets for retail DCs and deliver them, all with one team.
