Warehouse Storage Space & Cost Estimator

Warehouse storage & cost estimator · Nigeria

How much space — and what will it cost to store?

Whether you’re importing a few containers or holding stock to distribute, the first questions are always the same: how many pallets is my stock, and what’s the monthly bill? Enter your cargo below for an indicative pallet count and storage cost from Wigmore’s racked and bulk warehousing — the numbers you need before you commit space.

Two storage environments

Racked or bulk — the pallet decides.

Standard pallets go on racking; anything taller, heavier or bulkier is stored in the bulk environment at a different rate.

Racked (all-in)

$12.50 / pallet / month
  • Pallet capacity up to 1.63 CBM (0.8 × 1.2 × 1.70 m)
  • Up to 1.70 m high and up to 800 kg per pallet
  • All-in: handling, inbound/outbound, inventory control & reporting, system management, labour, cycle counting, admin and utilities
  • Billed pro rata

Bulk (all-in)

$20.00 / pallet / month
  • Pallet capacity over 1.63 CBM, or over the height/weight limits
  • Same all-in service scope as racked
  • Minimum order quantity from 200 sqm
  • Suited to oversized, heavy or high-volume stock

How the estimate is built

Simple, and shown in full.

No hidden maths — here’s exactly what the estimator does with your numbers.

STEP 1Count the palletsYou enter pallets directly, or we estimate them from your cartons and a standard ~1.6 CBM pallet.
STEP 2Pick the environmentStandard pallets take the racked rate; anything over 1.70 m, 800 kg or 1.63 CBM takes the bulk rate.
STEP 3Apply the monthly ratePallets × rate × whole months — storage is billed for a full month even if stock leaves early.
STEP 4Add any extrasPalletising, shrink-wrapping and labelling are added at their per-unit rates, if you need them.

Where Wigmore fits

Store it with the people who can also move it.

Wigmore doesn’t just hold your stock — we clear it through the port, warehouse it, and distribute it to a network of over 210,000 SME customers across the region. That means storage isn’t a dead cost: it’s one step in getting your product onto shelves.

This estimator gives you an honest starting figure. The warehousing desk turns it into a firm rate for your actual stock, dwell time and volumes.

Straight answers

Warehousing questions.

How accurate is the pallet estimate?
It’s a planning estimate. When you enter pallets directly it’s exact; when you enter cartons, we approximate how many fit on a standard ~1.6 CBM pallet, which depends on how your cargo actually stacks. Irregular, fragile or non-stackable goods can need more pallets than the maths suggests, so the warehousing desk confirms the real count on intake.
What’s the difference between racked and bulk storage?
Racked storage ($12.50 per pallet per month, all-in) is for standard pallets — up to 1.70 m high, up to 800 kg, within about 1.63 CBM. Anything taller, heavier or bulkier goes into the bulk environment ($20.00 per pallet per month, all-in), which has a minimum from 200 sqm. Both rates include handling, inventory control and reporting, labour, cycle counting, admin and utilities.
Why am I billed for a full month?
Storage is charged per full month even if a pallet leaves within the thirty days, and it renews on the 31st day. So short, partial months still count as one month — the estimator reflects this by charging whole months.
What’s included in the “all-in” rate?
Quite a lot: materials-handling equipment, inbound and outbound handling of palletised cargo, inventory control and reporting, warehouse-management system, labour, cycle counting and stock-takes, admin and utilities. Optional extras — palletising loose cargo, shrink-wrapping, and case or piece labelling — are priced separately, and you can add them above.
Does this cover everything I’ll pay?
It covers storage and the listed value-added services. It doesn’t include things quoted case by case — special compliance handling or permits (charged at cost), printing on your behalf, or office/working space at the logistics park. Import duty and clearing are separate too; our HS code & duty finder and clearing desk handle those.
Can you distribute my stock, not just store it?
Yes — that’s the advantage of warehousing with Wigmore. We reach over 210,000 SME customers across the region, so stored stock can flow straight into distribution. Tell the desk what you’re storing and where you want it to go.

Storage rates and value-added charges shown are taken from Wigmore Trading’s 2025 warehousing rate card and are indicative, for estimation only; they are quoted in US dollars and may change. Pallet counts derived from carton inputs are approximations based on a standard pallet of roughly 1.6 CBM and assume regular, stackable cargo; actual pallet requirements depend on your goods and are confirmed on intake. Storage is billed per full month (a pallet leaving within thirty days is charged a full month, renewing on the 31st day). Racked storage applies to pallets up to 1.70 m high, up to 800 kg and within ~1.63 CBM; larger, heavier or bulkier pallets take the bulk rate, which carries a minimum from 200 sqm. The estimate excludes compliance/permit handling (at cost), printing, office/working space, and any duty, clearing or transport charges. Final pricing, minimums and terms are confirmed in writing by Wigmore’s warehousing desk.
