The short answer: $30 to $50 per pallet per month
Right now in New Jersey, my customers pay between $30 and $50 per pallet per month to store product in our warehouse in Dayton, NJ. Where you land in that range depends on a few things: how many pallets you have, what your freight looks like, and how long you plan to stay.
I'm Sam, the owner of Pez Logistics. People ask me "how much to store a pallet?" almost every week, so here's exactly how I think about warehouse storage pricing, with the real numbers we charge.
1. Volume: more pallets, lower rate per pallet
Volume is the biggest driver of your pallet storage cost. If you're storing 10 pallets, you'll be closer to $50 per pallet a month. If you're storing 100 pallets or more, you'll usually be between $30 and $35.
I also like to offer tiers. Over 100 pallets, the price per pallet drops by a few dollars. That way, the more product you keep with us, the less each pallet costs you, and it makes sense to consolidate your inventory in one New Jersey warehouse instead of splitting it up.
2. Oversized and floor stored freight (store fixtures, tables, equipment)
A lot of what our customers store isn't standard boxed product on a pallet. We store retail store fixtures, tables, building equipment and other freight that can't go in racking and can't be stacked either. It just has to sit on the floor.
For that kind of freight, we price by standard pallet positions. A standard pallet is 48 x 40 inches.
- Over 48 x 40 but under 96 x 40: counts as 2 pallet positions, usually $60 to $80 a month
- Bigger than 96 x 40: counts as 3 pallet positions, and if it has to sit on the floor it can run over $100 a month
We don't just double or triple the rate, but it's close. The reason is simple: a piece that can't be racked or stacked takes up floor space nothing else can use. If you're comparing quotes for oversized storage, make sure every warehouse is measuring your freight the same way.
3. Commitment: short term projects vs ongoing storage
How long you plan to stay also moves the price. If you need storage for a short term project, rates will be in the high $40s to $50 per pallet. If it's an ongoing relationship, we'll definitely be in the $30s.
A longer commitment lets us plan space and labor around your freight, and we pass that savings back to you.
Why I can't just tell you the price of one pallet
I need to understand the work before I give you pricing. A lot of people ask me how much it costs to store a pallet, and honestly, I can't answer that on its own.
It isn't fair to me, because I'd be guessing at the labor and space your freight really needs. And it isn't fair to you, because I want you to get the best price possible, not a padded number that covers every unknown. Before I quote, I want to know:
- What the product is and whether it can be racked or stacked
- How it comes in (floor loaded containers or palletized trucks)
- How many pallets you'll have and how long they'll sit
- How it goes out (pallets, cases, or individual orders) and how often
Five minutes of answers usually gets you a much better rate than a generic per pallet number.
Be careful with cheap storage quotes
If a warehouse offers you a really cheap storage rate without asking about your freight, be wary. Every warehouse needs to make money somewhere, and if it isn't in the storage rate, it's in the upcharges they're not telling you about yet.
When you compare New Jersey warehouse quotes, ask for the full list of charges up front, not just the storage line. The cheapest pallet price is often not the cheapest bill at the end of the month.
Location matters: near the Turnpike, Port Elizabeth and New York City
Where a warehouse sits affects what it charges. Pez Logistics is in Dayton, NJ (Middlesex County), right off the New Jersey Turnpike and less than half an hour from Port Elizabeth, the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Because we're close to the port and close to New York City, our pricing is higher than a warehouse out in rural Pennsylvania. But that location usually saves you more on drayage and delivery than it costs in storage. Containers get to us fast, and trucks get to NYC, Long Island and the rest of the Northeast fast.
How monthly storage billing works at Pez
We bill storage by the month, and the date your product arrives decides the first month's charge:
- Arrives between the 1st and the 15th: full month of storage
- Arrives between the 16th and the end of the month: half month of storage
- Anything in our warehouse on the 1st of the month: full month of storage
For example, if your pallets arrive on November 20, you pay a half month for November. Then you pay a full month on December 1 for everything still in the building.
