Storage fee refers to the fee that must be paid when storing goods or articles, which is usually related to warehouses or logistics companies. Generally speaking, the storage fee will be calculated according to the variety of goods stored, warehouse capacity, storage time and other variable factors, so as to determine the specific amount. For merchants, storage fee is an integral part of production cost, which has a vital impact on capital cost, financial management, supply chain and so on.

For some small businesses, the storage fee has become a problem that cannot be ignored, because under the pressure of high storage fee, it is sometimes difficult to achieve profit even if the order volume increases. At this point, businesses need to take certain measures to save storage costs. Common methods include: strengthening inventory management, avoiding storing expired or unsalable goods, and controlling storage time; Adopt reasonable batch management strategy, gradually store goods in batches to avoid storing a large number of goods at one time; Make full use of the resources of logistics service providers, perceive the changes of warehouse capacity and market demand, and thus pay attention to the latest warehousing fee dynamics.

It should be pointed out that the storage fee is not only a financial problem of a merchant, but also a coordinated management problem of the supply chain. In the whole supply chain, decision-makers need to weigh the contradiction between storage cost and delivery deadline, inventory cost, transportation cost and other factors, and realize the best utilization of storage cost on the premise of meeting customer demand as much as possible. At the same time, in the increasingly competitive market, logistics enterprises also need to consider reducing storage costs and other means to enhance their market competitiveness.
