StorageCheck

Business storage for an online shop or trade

Stock, tools and parcels. What matters: whether the site takes deliveries for you, business services, early access, and the rules on working from the unit.

What to check

  • The 12-month total for room for a two-bedroom home
  • Takes deliveries
  • Business services
  • In before 6am
  • Drive-up
  • Deliveries
  • Business use

Ask before you sign

  • Is there a charge for receiving and dispatching parcels?
  • Can I pick and pack orders in the unit, and is there power?
  • Will you accept and sign for deliveries for me, and is there a charge?
  • Can I work from the unit or run a business from it?
How we check
  • Totals: offer months, then the standard rate, plus one-off fees the operator publishes with an amount.
  • Takes deliveries, Business services, In before 6am and Drive-up: from each operator's own page. Where it says nothing, the table says "not stated".
  • Deliveries and Business use: from the operator's terms, with its own words on each site's page.
  • Sites with a price come first, then those whose pages state more of the must-haves above, then the lowest total.
