Storage & Free Storage Days

Storage is a service from East 22 that allows you to hold incoming packages at a US warehouse before shipping internationally. This gives you flexibility to wait for multiple orders, plan consolidation, and ship when it is most convenient.

Many customers use storage to collect several deliveries over time and then send one consolidated shipment. Depending on your account plan and warehouse terms, a limited number of free storage days may also be available for eligible packages.

How Storage Works

Warehouse storage is designed to support international shoppers and business workflows:

  • Receive Packages - Your orders arrive at your assigned US address and are logged into your account.
  • Hold at the Warehouse - Packages remain stored while you decide what to ship and when.
  • Plan Your Shipment - You can wait for multiple packages, request photo inspection, or schedule consolidation.
  • Request Services - Consolidation, repacking, and invoice removal can be added during the storage period.
  • Ship When Ready - Choose a shipping method, pay, and your package is dispatched internationally.

This approach helps you avoid rushed decisions and allows you to optimize your shipping strategy based on your timeline and budget.

Who This Service Is For

Storage is ideal for:

  • international shoppers waiting for multiple orders to arrive;
  • customers planning Package Consolidation to reduce shipping costs;
  • buyers who want to inspect items before shipping;
  • resellers and small businesses building outbound shipments;
  • anyone who prefers shipping on a schedule rather than immediately.

If you shop from several stores or place repeat orders, storage is a key feature that makes international forwarding more efficient.

Key Benefits of Storage

Using warehouse storage provides several practical advantages:

  • Shipping flexibility - ship on your preferred schedule, not immediately upon arrival;
  • Cost optimization - store packages until you can consolidate into one outbound shipment;
  • Better control - add services like photo inspection, repacking, or invoice removal before shipping;
  • Reduced stress - no need to rush decisions for every package;
  • Supports business workflows - useful for resellers and bulk purchasing.

Storage is one of the simplest ways to improve both cost-efficiency and shipment planning.

Free Storage Days

Depending on your account plan and warehouse terms, free storage days may be available for incoming packages. This allows you to keep packages at the warehouse without additional charges during the included storage period.

  • Short-term holding - ideal for waiting on multiple packages from different stores;
  • Time to plan consolidation - hold packages until you are ready to ship together;
  • Better decision window - request photos or returns before committing to international shipping.

If packages remain in storage beyond the included period, extended storage fees may apply based on current warehouse rules and account level.

Storage Options & Add-Ons

Storage works best when combined with other forwarding services:

  • Package Consolidation - combine multiple stored packages into one shipment;
  • Repacking & Protective Packaging - optimize size and improve protection before shipping;
  • Photo Inspection - verify contents while packages are still in the US;
  • Return Handling - return unwanted items to US retailers without shipping overseas.

These options allow you to build the most efficient shipment based on cost, speed, and product protection.
