Storage Fees During Peak Season
From October 1 through December 31, 2024, ecommerce storage fees for inventory in our fulfillment network will cost $0.08 per cubic foot per day. This is equivalent to $2.40 per cubic foot over 30 days. This peak season rate has not increased from last year’s rate during the same time period. More information on how storage fees are computed.
If you do not submit a request to remove, dispose of, or liquidate your slow-moving inventory stored at one of Flexport’s fulfillment center(s) by September 1, 2024, your account will be subject to peak season storage rates. Learn how to submit inventory removal requests in Seller Portal.
Inventory Removals
If you choose to remove, dispose of, or liquidate your excess inventory:
- The last day we will accept requests to process removals, disposals, or liquidations by Black Friday/Cyber Monday is October 20, 2024.*
- The last day we will accept requests to process removals, disposals, or liquidations before peak season ecommerce storage rates take effect is September 1, 2024.
- Removal orders will be fulfilled within 30 business days (typically 10-14 business days outside of peak). Timelines may be further extended for large removal orders or those placed during our busiest weeks of peak while we prioritize fulfillment orders.
