Climate-controlled vs standard storage — when each is right
Standard storage suits: general furniture, books (in moisture-resistant boxes), kitchen items, clothes (in vacuum-sealed bags), most electronics in sealed boxes.

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

Our 10,000 sq ft Klang warehouse is bonded — Customs-licensed to hold export-bound or imported goods without duty being paid during storage.

Both warehouses: 24-hour security guards on site, CCTV monitoring with recording, fire suppression systems, access logs maintained. Insurance via Berjaya Insurance Berhad bundled — coverage based on declared value of stored items, not warehouse-wide flat coverage.
Get a quoteStorage 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.
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.
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.
The questions clients ask us most often before booking.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes — Berjaya Insurance Berhad cover, based on declared value of stored items. Standard exclusions apply.
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.
