Long-Term Storage in Malaysia

Some moves don't have a clear destination yet. You're between postings, your new property is under renovation, your overseas move is delayed, you're managing an estate, or you're consolidating commercial inventory. Florette runs long-term storage out of two warehouses in the Klang Valley with stable monthly pricing, climate-controlled space for sensitive items, and bonded warehouse status for goods that may eventually export internationally.

What we cover

What every move includes

One project manager runs every move from survey to settled-in, with three workstreams in parallel.

What "long-term" means in our pricing

Storage from one month is "short-term" in pricing — we charge a standard cbm/month rate. Storage from 6 months or more becomes long-term and qualifies for committed-period pricing, which works out cheaper per month than month-to-month renewal. A 12-month commitment gets the best per-month rate; 6-month and 24-month sit between.

Standard storage rate: RM 35 per cubic metre per month (month-to-month).

6-month committed: discount applied (quote-specific).

12-month committed: deeper discount.

24-month and beyond: best rate, fixed for the term.

Self-storage vaults: 3 cbm vault RM 250/month, 5 cbm vault RM 350/month — these are sealed individual units, useful for clients who want their items in their own dedicated unit rather than shared shelving.

Access during storage

Long-term storage is access-by-appointment, not walk-in. 24-48 hour notice for standard access. Same-day access available for emergencies (medical, legal documents, urgent business items) — not chargeable as standard. Pulling items from sealed boxes during storage is possible but extra labour; we'll quote at request.

Common long-term storage scenarios

Between assignments: corporate transferees with overlapping postings or short between-assignment gaps. 3-12 months typical.

Renovation gaps: home renovations running 4-9 months — entire household contents stored, returned when work completes.

Estate management: items being held during probate, ownership reorganisation, or inheritance distribution.

Pending overseas moves: clients who've vacated Malaysian properties but whose international move is delayed (visa wait, destination housing search). Bonded warehouse useful here.

Commercial inventory consolidation: businesses consolidating stock from multiple sources before export or distribution.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions clients ask us most often before booking.

How much does long-term storage cost in Malaysia?

Standard storage RM 35/cbm/month (month-to-month). 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month committed periods get progressively better per-month rates. Self-storage vaults: 3 cbm RM 250/month, 5 cbm RM 350/month.

Should I get climate-controlled space?

For long-term storage of items that matter — leather, musical instruments, art, photographs, archive documents, antique wood, vinyl — yes. For general furniture and household items, standard space is fine.

What's the difference between standard and bonded storage?

Bonded = Customs-licensed, no duty payable during storage. Useful for goods destined for export or imported items not yet cleared. Standard = duty-cleared goods only.

Can I access my items during storage?

Yes — by appointment, 24-48 hours notice for standard access. Same-day for genuine emergencies. Specific item retrieval from sealed boxes incurs extra labour; quoted at request.

Are stored items insured?

Yes — Berjaya Insurance Berhad cover, based on declared value of stored items. Standard exclusions apply.

How do I get items out at end of storage?

1-2 weeks notice for retrieval and either delivery to your new address or further onward shipping. We don't penalise early termination — pay for what you've stored.
