Miami sellers keep hitting the same ceiling: the garage fills up, the self-storage unit can't ship anything, and Amazon charges too much to babysit slow stock. Our Medley warehouse is the local fix — bin and pallet racking 25 minutes from PortMiami and 12 from Amazon MIA1, with weekday drop-off at the dock and stock flowing into Southeast fulfillment centers within 24–48 hours of your trigger.
Miami's seller economy has a specific shape. Goods pour in through the seaport and the airport — much of it import trade bridging Latin America and Asia — and a dense community of local brands, resellers and importers works out of homes, small offices and units scattered from Hialeah to Kendall. What almost none of them have is industrial space with a dock.
The improvised answers all break eventually. A garage holds thirty cartons, not a season's buy. Self-storage takes pallets but can't receive freight, pick an order, or print a label. And parking everything inside Amazon means paying their storage meter while giving up the ability to touch your own goods.
A local warehouse account replaces all of that with one address in the district built for freight. Your imports dray here straight off the ship or the tarmac; your drop-offs take a twenty-minute drive instead of a shipping label; your reserve waits on racking with live counts. When Amazon needs stock, it travels twelve minutes to MIA1 or on to the Southeast cluster — not across the country.
This page covers the local storage piece. For the full economics of holding reserve outside Amazon's network — capacity limits, aged-stock surcharges, the two-tier model — read our national FBA inventory storage guide; everything there applies here, just with shorter drives.
| Where Miami stock usually sits | What breaks | On our racks instead |
|---|---|---|
| Garage / spare room | Caps out fast; no receiving, no records | Pallet positions with live location tracking |
| Self-storage unit | Can't accept freight or ship anything out | Dock receiving plus pick, prep and dispatch |
| All of it inside FBA | Storage meter runs; goods untouchable | Reserve waits off Amazon's meter, feeds in on demand |
| Port-adjacent trucker's yard | Parked freight, no inventory service | Counted, racked and replenishment-ready |
| A warehouse two states away | Every touch means linehaul | Drop-off, pickup and visits are a local drive |
Drive cartons or pallets to the Medley dock any weekday, 9:00–18:00. Stock is counted in while you watch and racked under your account the same day.
When the garage or back office maxes out, the surplus moves here — and keeps moving here as you scale, without you signing an industrial lease.
Freight clearing at PortMiami or MIA drays straight to our door and onto racking — storage that starts where your supply chain actually enters the country.
Triggered stock leaves the racks, finishes prep, and rides a short haul to MIA1 and the regional FC cluster within 24–48 hours.
Holiday buys and event inventory wait here through the fall, then release in waves timed to your listings instead of arriving in one unmanageable lump.
Because it's local, stored stock stays reachable — book a visit, pull samples, order an inspection or a relabel without shipping anything anywhere.
You drop it at the dock, or your freight drays over from the port or airport — either way it's a short local move.
Units are counted against your list, condition-checked with photos if anything's off, and assigned live rack locations.
Stock sits on monthly space-used billing, off Amazon's meter, still available for inspection, prep or a channel change.
Your reorder signal turns into a picked, prepped, carrier-ready shipment within 24–48 hours — bound for MIA1 or beyond.
Home-based Miami sellers hit this wall constantly. Redirect supplier deliveries to our Medley address — a commercial dock built for exactly those trucks — and your driveway goes back to being a driveway.
Every replenishment means you, a rented van and a Saturday. Move the stock eleven minutes up the road and the picking, prepping and shipping become our job on your trigger.
Trucking imports north just to store them, then trucking them back south to sell — that's paying linehaul twice. Land it, hold it and release it all inside Miami-Dade.
The buy is already made; it needs a place to wait. It unloads into pallet positions here and meters into FBA as your allowance recovers — no fire sale, no abandoned freight.
Yes — local drop-off is one of the main reasons Miami sellers use us. Pull up to the dock at 8871 NW 102nd St, Medley, FL 33178 any weekday between 9:00 and 18:00. Cartons, shrink-wrapped pallets or a box truck load all work; give us a heads-up so a door and a pallet jack are waiting when you arrive.
We sit in the Medley/Doral industrial corridor — the district where most of Miami's freight actually moves. From our dock it's roughly 25 minutes to PortMiami, 10 to MIA air cargo, 12 to Amazon's MIA1 building in Opa-locka and about 35 to Port Everglades. For inventory that arrives by sea or air and leaves toward Amazon, this corner of the map minimizes every leg.
You set a trigger — a reorder point, a fixed weekly send, or an email when you check your dashboard. We pick the units from your bins or pallets, complete any outstanding prep, build the shipment in Seller Central against your plan, and hand it to the carrier within 24–48 hours. With MIA1 twelve minutes away and the Southeast FC cluster close behind, check-in tends to come fast.
That's the classic graduation path for South Florida sellers. Self-storage gives you a padlock; a fulfillment warehouse gives you racking with live location records, receiving reports, and staff who can pick, prep and ship the stock without you driving over. You stop being your own warehouse labor and pay only for the space your inventory actually occupies each month.
Two formats, mixed freely per client: shelf bins for compact SKUs and loose remainders, and pallet positions for bulk stock racked as it arrives. A typical Miami account keeps a production run on pallets and its pick-ready balance in bins. Billing is monthly and follows the space in use, so the footprint shrinks as stock sells through.
Yes. Once your forwarder or broker clears the goods, the drayage leg from PortMiami to our dock is a short local run. Containers and palletized LCL unload here, get counted and condition-checked, and go straight onto racks — no cross-country truck between the port and your storage. For the full port-side workflow, see our Miami container receiving page.
The facility is a commercial warehouse building in Medley operating year-round, and June-to-November is normal working season for us like every logistics operation in South Florida. What we recommend to every client: keep your own goods-in-storage coverage in place, and ask us about insurance options during onboarding so you know exactly what applies to your stock.
Both. Local South Florida brands use us for overflow and drop-off storage; sellers in other states use us because their freight enters the country through PortMiami or MIA and it makes no sense to truck it away just to store it. If Miami is where your inventory lands, Miami is the cheapest place for it to wait.
Yes — being local should mean something. Schedule a visit during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00) and we'll walk you through the receiving dock, the racking that would hold your inventory, and how location tracking works. Existing clients can arrange access to inspect their own stock the same way.
Send the form with your SKU sizes, pallet or carton counts, how the stock arrives (drop-off, freight, container), and how often you push units into FBA. Within one business day you'll have monthly storage pricing on a space-used basis — no setup fee and no minimum commitment.
Describe the stock — pallet and carton counts, SKU sizes, whether it arrives by drop-off, freight or container, and how often you replenish. Monthly space-used pricing comes back within one business day.
