Do you provide storage for my packaging and/or finished product?
Rainshadow Labs can warehouse your unused packaging materials here at our facility in between orders. There is a monthly pallet fee of $100 per pallet for storage. If at any point you may require materials to be inventoried, we are happy to do so - inventory counts, quality inspections, etc will accrue a $35/hour fee.
Our space restrictions will not allow for us to warehouse any packaging materials that are not relevant to orders that we have in house for your particular company. We are unable to provide full scale storage facility for you, but we are offering to manage your excess packaging from one order to another in order to eliminate excessive back and forth shipping of unused materials.
If a product is back ordered, can I do a partial shipment?
If you have an item on your order that is out of stock and you do not want to wait to receive everything until that item is ready, please make notes in your order comments requesting for a partial shipment. Please note, with partial shipments, there may be 2 shipping cost due to there being two shipments.
