30-Day Free Storage for eMerchants: Shipping to United States from Canada
U.S. eMerchants and international sellers, meet your new fulfillment edge: 30-day free storage at ShipByMail’s Canadian warehouse. If you’re shipping to United States from Canada, this flexible buffer lets you receive multiple supplier parcels, hold inventory while you run promos, and consolidate into fewer, cheaper shipments—without paying storage fees in the first month.
Why 30-Day Free Storage Matters for U.S. Sellers
Short, flexible storage is a game-changer when you’re coordinating suppliers, PO cycles, and launch calendars. With a free 30-day window you can:
- Consolidate multiple incoming parcels into one box to reduce dimensional weight and packaging waste.
- Stage inventory for drops, influencer campaigns, or seasonal sales.
- Hold backorders and pre-orders until everything is ready to go.
- Fix supplier errors (wrong size/colour/quantity) before export.
It’s the simplest way to align cash flow with shipping efficiency—especially when shipping to United States from Canada.
How the Free 30-Day Storage Works
- Register for your free Canadian address and suite ID (SBM code). It only takes minutes: Create your account.
- Ship from your suppliers to your suite. You’ll see each parcel appear in your dashboard once received. (Final shipping quotes are generated after we receive your parcel and measure it.)
- Store up to 30 days at no charge while you collect more inventory.
- Consolidate your parcels and request optional repacking to reduce wasted space.
- Check out and choose a courier service that fits your timeline in the U.S. See options anytime at Shipping Price and learn the steps at How It Works.
Perfect for “Shipping to United States from Canada” Workflows
Our free-storage buffer supports common U.S. use cases:
- Multi-supplier sourcing: Receive from different Canadian brands and combine into one export to the U.S.
- D2C & marketplaces: Time your U.S. releases; ship when marketing peaks.
- Returns & replacements: Stage replacement items before sending them together.
Because parcels are already in Canada, you can move quickly when it’s time to ship to the U.S.—with cleaner packing, fewer boxes, and lower risk of split shipments.
Storage Policy at a Glance (Simple & Seller-Friendly)
- Free window: First 30 days from the date we check in your parcel(s).
- After 30 days: Standard storage fees may apply per parcel or consolidated shipment (shown at checkout before you pay).
- Consolidation: Request anytime from your dashboard; we’ll re-box to reduce empty space.
- Prohibited items: Follow our restricted items list; compliance checks may apply.
Tip: Plan inbound deliveries so most parcels arrive within a 2–3 week window. That leaves time for consolidation and label creation inside the free period.
Cost Control: Consolidation + Smart Packing
Carrier pricing often considers dimensional weight. Consolidating and repacking reduces box size and padding, which can lower the billable weight. Add the 30-day buffer, and you get time to optimize every shipment before it leaves Canada.
