Running an online shop and finding that the stock is taking over your living room, garage or home office? Then a self-service unit with Selvbetjeningslageret is a smart way forward. You store your inventory close to where you live or work in Bergen or Haugesund, and you can pick and pack orders whenever it suits you — every day between 07:00 and 23:00 with your own electronic access code. Perfect for growing online shops: you only pay for the space you need right now, and you can scale up ahead of the seasonal peaks and back down again afterwards — with absolutely no binding period.
Storage and packing for online shops
A unit with us works as a small, flexible stockroom and packing space in one. Here is what you can typically do:
- Store your inventory: keep your products, boxes and packaging in one secure place instead of at home.
- Pick orders: set up shelving and a fixed pick zone so you can find items quickly when an order comes in.
- Pack and prepare shipments: use the unit as your packing-table base and get parcels ready for collection or delivery.
- Receive deliveries: bring in new stock via goods reception by arrangement when you replenish.
- Work on your own terms: with access every day from 07:00 to 23:00, you can pack orders in the evening, at the weekend or in the middle of the day — however life and orders flow.
Scale with seasonal peaks and growth
Online shops swing with the year: Christmas trade, sale campaigns, new collections and quieter spells in between. With us there is no binding period — you rent month to month with no notice period. Need more space ahead of high season? Upgrade to a larger unit. Once the peak is over, switch back down again at no fee. That way your storage cost follows your turnover instead of being a heavy fixed expense all year round.
What size do you need?
Our units range from roughly 2 to 50 m², so there is room for everything from a hobby shop to a growing online business:
- 2–4 m²: a few shelves of stock — ideal for small online shops and side ventures alongside a day job.
- 5–10 m²: a solid stockroom with space for rows of shelving, packing supplies and a pick zone.
- 10–20 m²: a broad product range, seasonal stock and room to take in larger deliveries.
- 20–50 m²: almost a full small-shop inventory — for online shops with high volume and many product lines.
Tips: If in doubt, choose a little too small rather than too large. With no binding period and no switching fee, you can upgrade as soon as your range grows — so you never pay for empty shelf space longer than necessary.
Cheaper than your own warehouse
A dedicated commercial warehouse usually means a long lease, high monthly rent and commitments you are stuck with even in quiet periods. A self-service unit with us gives you the same benefit without that risk: you pay only for the square metres you actually use, and you can adjust at any time. See current prices and sizes to find the unit that fits your budget — the price depends on size and branch, and you will always find the live prices online.
Practical tips for organising your stock
A well-organised unit saves you time on every single order. A few moves that work:
- Set up shelving: go vertical with racks so you make the most of the square metres and find items fast.
- Label everything clearly: use labels and a fixed spot per product so picking runs smoothly.
- Create a pick zone by the door: keep your best-sellers and the packing table nearest the entrance.
- Keep packing supplies in stock: have boxes, filler, tape and shipping labels ready so you can finish parcels on the spot.
- Arrange goods reception: book goods reception by arrangement when larger deliveries are due so you are prepared.
- Use the free trailer and trolleys: borrow a closed Tysse box trailer and trolleys/sack trucks free of charge for bigger moves and deliveries.
