KEEP THIS IN MIND
Unit dimensions, access routes and the way you pack can change what fits. Treat size comparisons as a starting point and ask the facility team when in doubt.
For a growing online shop, stock can quickly take over a spare room or office. A well-organised storage unit creates clear separation between home, administration and fulfilment without the commitment of a warehouse.
Plan around picking frequency
Place bestsellers between waist and shoulder height, slower lines higher or farther back and returns in a clearly marked zone. Keep a small surface free for checking parcels rather than opening boxes on the floor.
Make inventory visible
Use shelf labels that match your stock system and record the unit aisle or bay in each product location. A simple weekly count prevents small discrepancies from becoming a fulfilment problem.
Review space as demand changes
Seasonal peaks may justify a larger unit for a few months. Speak to the team before stock arrives so that access, loading and any move between unit sizes can be planned calmly.
