Storage Fees

At Ecomflow, we generally do not charge storage fees for keeping your stock in our warehouse. We aim to support your business growth by streamlining fulfillment operations without adding unnecessary costs. However, in certain cases, a storage fee may apply to ensure fair and efficient use of warehouse space.

When Do Storage Fees Apply?

Storage fees only apply if inventory remains unsold for an extended period.

No Fees for Active Stock

As long as your inventory is actively selling, no storage fees will be charged.

Dead stock Inventory Policy

If a product remains unsold for two consecutive months, it is considered headstock.

At this point, you will have two options:

  • Pay a storage fee of $100 USD per pallet per month for continued storage.
  • Arrange for pickup to remove the stock from our warehouse.

Why Do We Charge for Dead stock?

This policy ensures that warehouse space is used efficiently and fairly for all clients. It also helps maintain a smooth and scalable fulfillment operation.

By implementing a fee for long-term unsold stock, we aim to:

  • Optimize warehouse capacity – Prioritizing space for fast-moving inventory.
  • Encourage inventory management – Helping businesses track and adjust stock levels effectively.

It’s worth noting that this is a rare scenario—most clients never have to pay storage fees.

How to Avoid Storage Fees

To prevent long-term storage charges, we recommend the following best practices:

  • Monitor Inventory Performance: Keep track of slow-moving stock and adjust marketing strategies accordingly.
  • Run Promotions for Slow-Moving Stock: Offer discounts or bundles to move older inventory faster.
  • Maintain Healthy Stock Levels: Replenish inventory strategically to avoid overstocking slow-selling products.
  • Communicate with Ecomflow: If you foresee challenges with certain products, let us know—we’re happy to help find a solution.

Key Takeaways

  • No storage fees apply for actively selling stock.
  • Storage fees of $100 USD per pallet per month will apply after two months of no sales, unless the stock is picked up.
  • This policy ensures efficient warehouse operations and rarely impacts clients.
