Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about co-warehousing with FlexSpace.

Real questions, straight answers. Everything you need to make the right call on your storage space.
FlexSpace offers fully managed returns processing along with real-time inventory tracking, lot tracking, and FIFO/FEFO fulfilment rules, so you always know what's in stock and nothing gets over- or under-ordered.
Our fulfilment centres support Direct-to-Consumer orders through storefront integrations as well as B2B and wholesale fulfilment, so you don't need separate providers for each channel.
FlexSpace uses Mintsoft, a leading fulfilment platform, to manage order processing across your sales channels. It integrates with common storefront platforms so orders flow in and are fulfilled without manual work on your end.
FlexSpace can handle both one-off shipments and ongoing freight needs. Whether you need a single LTL shipment or a recurring FTL schedule, we tailor a transportation solution around your shipping volume and frequency.
FlexSpace works with trusted carrier partners and proven processes to protect your goods from pickup to delivery. With thousands of shipments completed, we know how to navigate the risks that come with moving freight.
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) is ideal when your shipment doesn't require a full trailer, letting you share space and cost with other shipments. FTL (Full-Truckload) is best when you have enough volume to fill a trailer on your own, offering more direct and often faster transit.
FlexSpace offers both private warehousing and shared warehousing space. You can choose a private warehousing space or a shared option depending on your needs and budget. Our advisors can help you decide which setup makes the most sense for your business.
High-volume storage supports inventory that moves frequently, like active fulfilment stock, while low-volume or "dead" storage is better suited for items that need to be kept but aren't accessed often. We offer both, plus everything in between.
Warehousing space can be scaled up or down as your business needs change . Our warehouse storage runs on flexible, month-to-month contracts, so you can right-size your space as your inventory or business needs shift, without being locked into a long-term lease.
FlexSpace's portable storage units are waterproof. Our partners containers are built to withstand various weather conditions, so your belongings stay safe and protected whether they're in transit or sitting on your property.
We offer a variety of container sizes to fit different needs, from small overflow storage to larger units for renovation or construction projects. Let us know what you're storing and we'll recommend the right size.
FlexSpace can deliver storage containers to custom locations. We deliver the portable container directly to your site, whether that's a job site, your home, or your place of business, and pick it up when you're finished.
Our records management system is designed for fast, organized retrieval. Reach out to your FlexSpace advisor with what you need, and we'll help get it to you promptly.
Both physical and digital records can be stored. We provide solutions for physical document storage as well as digital records management, using advanced records management software to keep everything organized and easy to retrieve.
FlexSpace's records storage partners are compliant with the Canadian legal retention requirements. Businesses are typically required to retain documents for 7 years, and our records management solutions, delivered through our sister company RecordXPress, are built to help you meet that requirement without added stress.
No long-term contract is required for FlexSpaces outdoor parking. Like our other storage solutions, outdoor parking is available with flexible, month-to-month terms so you only pay for the space and time you need.
Our outdoor storage facilities are well-lit, fenced, and monitored by surveillance cameras, so your vehicles and equipment stay protected around the clock.
Our outdoor storage accommodates RVs, trailers, cars, fleet vehicles, construction equipment, and more. If you have something specific in mind, let us know and we'll confirm it fits.
Layouts, loading, and features can be customized to fit your needs. Built-to-suit projects are designed around your specifications, including layout, loading docks, access points, and security features, so the finished space works the way your business actually operates.
Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the build. Once you share your requirements, a FlexSpace advisor will walk you through a realistic timeline for your project.
Built to suit means we work with you to design and develop a space built specifically around your business's operational needs, rather than fitting your business into an existing space.
Availability varies by region and changes often. Contact a FlexSpace advisor with your location and space requirements, and we'll let you know what's available across our network.
FlexSpaces land-for-lease options are secure. Our sites feature security measures such as fencing, lighting, and surveillance, so you can feel confident your assets and equipment are protected
Our land-for-lease options are commonly used for outdoor storage, vehicle and fleet parking, equipment yards, and other business needs that require open, secure space rather than an enclosed building.
Commercial leases can be combined with other FlexSpace services. Many clients pair a commercial lease with our storage, logistics, or fulfilment solutions so everything runs through a single, reliable partner instead of multiple vendors.
Our commercial leases follow standard industry terms, usually ranging from 1 to 5+ years depending on the property and landlord. A FlexSpace advisor can walk you through the specific terms available for a space that fits your needs.
We have access to a wide range of commercial space across our 530+ locations nationwide, from smaller units for growing businesses to large-scale facilities. Tell us your requirements and we'll find a fit.
FlexSpace is happy to support last mile delivery for both B2B and B2C. Whether you're delivering to individual consumers or business customers, we coordinate the most cost-effective and timely solution to get your products where they need to go.
FlexSpace can accommodate special touches like gift packaging or cards. We can add a personal touch to your last-mile deliveries, such as branded packaging, inserts, or thank-you notes, to help create a great unboxing experience for your customers.
Last-mile delivery is the final leg of getting your product to your customer's door. It's often the most visible part of the experience for your end customer, so we handle it with speed, care, and attention to detail.
Cross-border pricing depends on distance, cargo type, and border requirements. Request a free quote and one of our advisors will give you a clear, custom price for your specific shipment.
Our team and carrier partners are familiar with the paperwork and requirements involved in cross-border freight and can help guide you through what's needed so your shipment isn't held up at the border.
FlexSpace can handle shipments crossing from Canada into the USA. Our carrier network includes partners experienced in cross-border freight, helping your goods move smoothly between Canada and the U.S. without unnecessary delays.
To get started with a quote for a non-standard shipment just give us a call or fill out our online quote form with details about your cargo — size, weight, handling needs, and destination. One of our advisors will match you with the right equipment and carrier for the job.
Our drivers have experience with oversized and heavy freights. We partner with experienced drivers and carriers who use the right specialized equipment for the job, from flatbeds to climate-controlled trailers, so your cargo is handled safely from pickup to delivery.
Anything that can't move on a standard truck is categorized as a 'specialized' shipment — think oversized equipment, heavy machinery, temperature-sensitive goods, or delicate and unusually shaped items. If your load has unique handling requirements, our specialized trucking team can help.
No minimum shipment size is required for our long haul trucking service. We work with businesses of all sizes and can scale our support as your shipping needs grow. Speak with a FlexSpace advisor to find the right fit for your volume.
Our carrier partners plan routes with contingencies in mind and communicate proactively if conditions change. You'll always know the status of your shipment, and we'll work quickly to minimize any impact on your delivery timeline.
Our long haul network covers local, regional, and cross-country routes throughout Canada. Whether you're moving product between provinces or across the country, our carrier partners have the coverage and experience to get it there reliably.
You can request a quote through our Get a Quote page, contact us directly by phone or email, or use our on-site live chat. One of our advisors will gather your requirements and put together a custom quote for you.
Our advisors are available during standard business hours, Monday to Friday. You can also reach us by email or through our website contact form at any time and we will get back to you promptly.
FlexSpace Logistics operates across Canada with a growing network of storage, warehousing, and logistics partners. Whether you are in a major metro or a smaller market, we can likely help. Check our Locations page or contact an advisor to confirm service availability in your area.
We market FlexSpace Logistics as a single network across Canada, then match incoming customer requests to the best-fit partner based on location, capacity, and service type. Partners benefit from our sales and marketing efforts without having to manage their own lead generation.
There is no upfront fee to apply. Our partnerships team will discuss the revenue-sharing model and any applicable terms during the onboarding conversation. Visit our Become a Partner page to get started.
Requirements vary by service category, but generally we look for partners with insured, compliant facilities or vehicles, a track record of reliable service, and the capacity to take on new clients. Our partnerships team will walk you through the onboarding process.
We welcome partners across the storage and logistics spectrum including self storage operators, warehouse owners, transportation carriers, and 3PL providers. If you have capacity and want to connect with more customers, FlexSpace Logistics can help fill your space and grow your business.

Yes. We work with partners who specialize in moving oversized, heavy, or unusual freight that standard carriers cannot accommodate. This includes flatbed, lowboy, and other specialized equipment. Contact us with your freight details and we will put together the right solution.
Tracking capabilities depend on the carrier and service level selected. In most cases you will receive a tracking number once your shipment is picked up. For real-time visibility or custom tracking integrations, speak with your FlexSpace Logistics advisor about available options.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) is used when your shipment does not fill an entire truck. You share trailer space with other shippers and pay only for what you use. FTL (Full Truckload) means you book the entire truck, which is better for large or time-sensitive loads. Our logistics team can recommend the right option based on your shipment size and timeline.
Fulfilment turnaround times depend on your service agreement and the specific facility, but most orders are picked, packed, and shipped within one to two business days of being placed. Speak with your advisor to set up SLAs that match your customers expectations.
Our fulfilment partners support a wide range of sales channels including Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, and direct-to-consumer orders. If you sell on a platform not listed here, reach out and we will confirm compatibility.
Yes. We offer reverse logistics support as part of our fulfilment services. Returned items can be received, inspected, and either restocked or flagged for disposal based on your instructions. Ask your advisor about adding returns handling to your fulfilment plan.
Certain partner facilities are equipped for temperature-sensitive or specialized products. If your inventory has specific handling requirements, let your advisor know upfront so we can match you with the right facility.
3PL (third-party logistics) fulfilment means we store your inventory and handle picking, packing, and shipping orders on your behalf. When a customer places an order, our fulfilment team processes it and gets it out the door so you do not have to manage a warehouse or fulfilment team yourself.
Retrieval processes vary by partner facility, but most offer same-day or next-day access to stored files. Some locations also offer digital retrieval, where documents are scanned and delivered electronically. Ask your advisor about retrieval options at your location.
Records storage is a secure, organized solution for storing physical documents, files, and archives. Beyond storage, our partners offer document management services including retrieval, scanning, shredding, and retention scheduling so your records are easy to find and compliant with retention requirements.
We arrange delivery of the container to your location, where it stays for as long as you need. When you are done, we pick it up or move it to a secure facility for longer-term storage. Contact us to arrange delivery in your area.
Portable storage containers are great for business equipment, seasonal inventory, renovation overflow, and on-site project materials. The container comes to you, so you can load at your own pace.
Yes. Our partner outdoor storage facilities are fenced, monitored, and access-controlled. Security features vary by location, so ask your advisor about the specific setup at the facility you are considering.
Outdoor parking storage is ideal for vehicles, trailers, RVs, heavy equipment, containers, and oversized items that do not fit indoors. Our partner locations offer secure, fenced outdoor yards with varying levels of access and security.
Yes. Self storage is available on flexible month-to-month terms, so you can use it for as long or as short as your business needs. There is no pressure to commit to a fixed contract.
Absolutely. Many of our self storage clients use their units for business inventory, equipment, supplies, and seasonal stock. It is a flexible, cost-effective option for businesses that do not need a full warehouse.
We offer a range of unit sizes to suit different needs, from small lockers for a few boxes to large units that can hold the contents of a commercial space. Contact us or use our Get a Quote tool to find the right size for what you are storing.
Co-warehousing is a great fit if you are a small to mid-sized business that needs professional warehouse space without a long-term lease commitment. It is especially popular with e-commerce sellers, importers, and seasonal businesses. Talk to one of our advisors and we will help you figure out if it is the right move.
Yes. Co-warehousing facilities have loading docks and receiving areas designed to handle inbound and outbound freight. Your business can use the facility address for shipments, and staff can assist with receiving depending on the service level you choose.
Co-warehousing memberships typically include your allocated floor space, shared loading dock access, common area maintenance, utilities, and basic security. Depending on the location, additional services like pallet racking, receiving support, and Wi-Fi may also be included. Ask your advisor for the full list at your specific location.
Co-warehousing is a shared warehouse model where multiple businesses split the cost of a larger facility, giving you access to professional warehouse infrastructure without committing to a full lease. It is ideal for growing businesses that need more than self storage but are not ready for a dedicated warehouse.
Certain partner facilities are equipped for temperature-sensitive or specialized products. If your inventory has specific handling requirements such as refrigeration, fragile items, or hazardous materials, let your advisor know upfront so we can match you with the right facility.
We strongly recommend that all clients carry their own cargo and inventory insurance. While our partner facilities maintain standard property coverage, it may not extend to your specific goods. Speak with one of our advisors to understand your options.
Access policies vary by storage type and location. Self storage units typically offer flexible access hours, while warehouse and co-warehousing facilities may operate on scheduled access. Contact our team to confirm access hours at your specific location.
