Sitting five miles from the Port of Long Beach, A Storage Hub is built for import-sourcing sellers who want inventory handled close to where containers arrive. Based in Riverside, CA and incorporated in 2019, it reports serving 1,000-plus brands and runs its own ASTORAGE Sync platform for WMS and CRM rather than leaning on third-party 3PL software. FBA prep is a flat $1.00 per unit covering labeling, inspection, and packaging, with no minimum, and storage runs $0.65 per cubic foot per month prorated daily with no long-term commitment. The service range is wide: receiving, FNSKU labeling, QC, polybagging, branded packaging, kitting, subscription-box fulfillment, cross-docking, and container unloading, including oversized and fragile goods. Channels span Amazon FBA and FBM, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Shopify, and B2B wholesale. It is a fit for arbitrage, wholesale, private label, and import sellers.
