Selling on Amazon can be demanding. Stock levels change, orders spike, and packaging materials quickly take over your home or workplace. Safestore business storage gives Amazon sellers secure, flexible space to store inventory and stay organised, without committing to long-term commercial premises.
Store your Amazon stock in a clean, dry environment, access it as often as you need to, and keep your operation running smoothly.
How Amazon sellers use self storage
Self storage is a practical way to manage stock and supplies without the overheads of warehousing. Common reasons Amazon sellers use Safestore include:
- Storing inventory when you outgrow space at home or work
- Managing seasonal peaks (Q4, promotions, Prime events, back-to-school)
- Keeping stock organised by product line, SKU or turnaround speed
- Storing packaging and supplies, from boxes and tape to labels and mailers
- Creating breathing space during a move, refurbishment, or workspace change
Whether you sell occasionally or you’re growing steadily, storage helps you stay in control.
What you can store
Amazon sellers use storage for a wide range of business items, including:
- Inventory and cartons
- Packaging materials and consumables
- Promotional materials and display stock
- Equipment used for ecommerce operations
- Business records and documents (if you need extra space)
If you’re unsure whether something is suitable for storage, our team can advise.
Why Safestore works for Amazon sellers
Store your stock indoors, not outdoors
Many results you’ll see in search are for container storage. Safestore is different. Most customers store inventory in indoor storage units, which can be a better fit for protecting stock in a clean, dry environment.
Access your inventory as often as you like
You can access your unit during store access hours, as frequently as you need to manage stock, packaging and orders.
Extended access at many stores (6am–10pm)
Many Safestore locations can offer extended access hours from 6am to 10pm, but this must be arranged in advance. Your local store can confirm availability and how it works.
We can accept deliveries on your behalf
If you receive deliveries from suppliers, many stores can accept deliveries for you, so you can keep stock moving even when you’re not there. Ask your local store what they can support.
DHL Express ServicePoint at many locations
Many Safestore stores are also DHL Express ServicePoints, which can make it easier to manage parcel drop-offs alongside your storage.
Helpful extras for online retailers
Depending on location, you may also benefit from packaging supplies available in store, plus practical on-site support from the store team.
What size storage unit do Amazon sellers need?
The right unit depends on your product size, stock volume, and whether you store packaging in the same space.
As a guide:
- 10–25 sq ft: small-volume stock, cartons, packaging supplies
- 25–75 sq ft: growing inventory, multiple product lines, seasonal overflow
- 75–150+ sq ft: higher volumes, bulk cartons, regular replenishment cycles
Tell us what you’re storing and we’ll help you choose a unit size that fits.
Selling beyond Amazon?
If you also sell on Etsy, eBay, Shopify, Vinted or other platforms, business storage can still be a good fit. You can store inventory for multiple channels in one place and keep everything organised.

Can I store packaging materials with my inventory?
