Storage of goods and a 3PL warehouse in Moscow
We take goods into storage at two heated warehouses: 2,500 m² in Moscow on Dmitrovskoye Shosse and 6,000 m² in Obukhovo. We keep +20 to +22 °C all year round. We charge by the volume of the goods, not by pallet spaces. If you need more than storage, the same warehouse works as a 3PL operator: it picks orders, prepares shipments and sends goods to buyers.
Renting a warehouse, bailment storage or 3PL
The three services are often confused. The difference is who is liable for the goods and who handles them.
| Renting a warehouse | Bailment storage | 3PL with us | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | Square metres, even empty ones | A space or the volume of goods | The volume of goods and operations |
| Who is liable for the goods | You | The warehouse | The warehouse |
| Who receives and releases goods | Your staff | The warehouse, by box and pallet | The warehouse, down to each unit |
| Order picking | You | Usually not | Yes: marketplaces and website |
| Delivery to the buyer | You | No | Couriers, pickup points, post |

What storage costs
We charge by the actual volume of goods. You do not pay for a half-empty pallet as for a full one.
| Service | Price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Storage of goods | 75 ₽ | per 1 m³ per day |
| Pickup of goods, Moscow and the region, up to 1 m³ | 1 500 ₽ | per trip |
| Unloading a pallet | 150 ₽ | per pallet |
| Receiving by pallet, goods with barcodes | 33 ₽ | per pallet |
| Receiving a box with barcodes | 6 ₽ | per box |
Prices in roubles, VAT not included. Example: 2 m³ of goods for 30 days costs 4 500 ₽. Other operations are on the prices page.
When storing with us beats your own warehouse
Fewer than ten pallets of goods
Renting separate premises for that volume is expensive, while in a warehouse charging by volume you pay only for the cubic metres you occupy.
Seasonal goods
In summer the goods take twenty cubic metres, in winter two. The invoice changes with the stock; a lease cannot do that.
Stock next to the marketplaces
The batch is kept with us and goes to marketplace warehouses in parts. We build FBO shipments from the same stock. If the batch leaves at once and in full, cross-docking is the better fit.
Frequent questions about storage
What is 3PL in plain words?
3PL means that a hired operator runs the whole warehouse logistics: receives goods, stores them, picks orders and ships them. You deal with sales, not with the warehouse.
How is the volume of goods calculated?
From the dimensions of a unit and the quantity in stock on each day. We measure the dimensions at receiving or take them from your product listing.
Can goods be stored without order picking?
Yes. We receive the batch, store it and release it on your request, in full or in parts.
Which goods do you not accept?
It depends on the conditions the goods need. Tell us what the goods are and how they are packed, and we will say whether we can take them.
What are your warehouses like?
Two heated warehouses with a total area of 8,500 m²: 2,500 m² of class B+ in Moscow and 6,000 m² of class A in Obukhovo. The temperature is +20 to +22 °C all year round, so we take goods that are sensitive to frost and damp.
Where are the warehouses?
Dmitrovskoye Shosse 157, bldg 1, Moscow, and Atlant Park 14, Obukhovo. Addresses and directions are on the contacts page.
We will quote storage for your goods
Tell us what the goods are, how much there is in cubic metres or pallets and for how long. A manager will send a quote.
