What does the storage cost generally include? How much do they charge?

It is difficult to give a direct quotation for the specific cost of third-party warehousing, and it is necessary for enterprises and third-party warehousing companies to negotiate in many directions to finally determine the specific plan and price.

The common storage charging mode is based on site occupation fee (X yuan/day or X yuan/month)+storage fee, freight, sorting fee, management fee and so on.

The warehouse rental fee is directly proportional to the hardware and software facilities of the warehouse, the size of the rented warehouse area, the type and location of the warehouse. General warehouse rental fee is in the range of 0.5-3 flat/yuan. Mainly depends on how much the third-party warehousing company invests in the warehouse. The more investment, the higher the cost.
