WarehouseNow provides on-demand short-term storage at 4,500+ vetted warehouses across the U.S., Mexico and Canada, from a single pallet overnight to trailer loads for a season. Space is confirmed within 15 minutes, billed by the pallet or the day, with no minimum term.
What short-term warehousing & storage covers
Short-term storage covers any situation where freight needs a safe place to sit for hours, days or weeks without a warehousing contract. Carriers use it when a receiver refuses an early delivery. Brokers use it to hold a recovered load until a new carrier is booked. Shippers use it for peak-season overflow, product launches, returns and inventory that a 3PL cannot absorb on short notice.
How it works
Tell us what and how long
Pallet count, dimensions, commodity, any temperature or security requirement, and your best guess at duration. Estimates are fine.
We place it
Within 15 minutes we confirm a facility with the right space and certifications, a per-pallet or per-day rate, and a receiving window.
Retrieve on your schedule
Freight is received, counted and stored. When you are ready, we coordinate the outbound pickup and send the final paperwork.
Typical turnaround
Space confirmed in 15 minutes and receiving the same day in most markets. Minimum billing is usually one day. Weekly and monthly rates apply for longer holds, and freight can move to a longer-term arrangement if the need grows.
What drives the cost
- Pallet count, footprint and stackability
- Duration, with daily rates for short holds and lower weekly or monthly rates for longer stays
- Ambient, refrigerated, frozen or food-grade requirements
- In-and-out handling fees, which depend on whether freight is palletized
- Security, bonded or high-value handling
Every quote covers the full job, including materials, after-hours labor and any storage days, so the number you pass to your customer or your claim is the number you pay.
