STORAGE · PER PALLET / WEEK
Modelled duration adjustment: 1–4 weeks = full rate; 5–26 weeks = 10% lower; 27+ weeks = 20% lower. This discount is a calculator assumption, not a confirmed operator discount.
THE CALCULATOR
Estimate your storage budget

01 Storage requirements
Recorded for your requirement; no verified type-specific rate adjustment is applied.
02 Optional services
Transport is estimated per collection. Change this to match your plan.

HOW THE ESTIMATE WORKS
Rates and assumptions
The rates below are editable planning assumptions used to illustrate the calculation. They are not represented as a verified market average or a current offer from any specific operator.
OPTIONAL SERVICES
The calculator assumes one intake and/or dispatch event per pallet when selected. Transport is multiplied by the collection count. Actual charging units and included services vary by operator.

- Bluevault Storage — Published Rate Card
A specific operator in Kidderminster lists £11 per pallet per week, or £10 for volume storage, with standard receipt and dispatch included. This is one operator’s offer, not a UK-wide market average.
For comparison, Bluevault's published Kidderminster rate card lists £11 per pallet per week (£10 for volume storage) and includes standard receipt and dispatch, subject to its stated terms. That single supplier's bundled rate is not directly comparable with this calculator's separate illustrative line items. GOV.UK lists the standard VAT rate as 20% for most goods and services; the treatment of a particular supply can depend on the circumstances.
The estimate is a planning aid only. Pallet type and city are collected to describe the requirement and route a quote request; neither changes the estimate. Actual prices depend on the provider, location, pallet dimensions, product, throughput, temperature requirements, handling activity, minimum charges and contract terms.
GOOD TO KNOW
Calculator questions
Does the city change the estimate?
No. City selection is used only to route the quote request. The calculator does not have verified city-level pricing data, so it does not apply regional adjustments.
Are these prices what I will actually pay?
Not necessarily. The figures are illustrative planning ranges, not live operator quotes or a representative UK price survey. Actual prices depend on the operator, location, volume, handling scope, product and contract terms.
Does the estimate include VAT?
No. The estimate is shown excluding VAT. The standard UK VAT rate is 20% for most goods and services, although the VAT treatment of a particular supply depends on the circumstances. See GOV.UK VAT rates.
Why doesn't pallet type change the price?
There is no verified, consistent set of public rates by pallet type behind this calculator. Pallet type is recorded as part of the requirement, but no unsupported adjustment is invented.
