How Does It Work?
Connecting E-Commerce Vendors and Warehouse Operators with AirStock
E-Commerce Vendor
Over 1.3 million e-commerce vendors in the United States and growing
Most vendors require warehouse space and staff to stock products and fulfill orders
Warehousing costs continue to rise due to limited space, increasing labor and transportation costs, and growing e-commerce demand
Ideally, vendors would like their products stocked in every region, with low-cost staff to fulfill their growing orders. But is this possible?
Unused Residential Space
Many unused residential spaces across the United States, such as empty garages, unoccupied rooms, or backyard sheds, are collecting dust
If owners could monetize their unused space with just a couple of hours of work each day, many would be interested
We are selective with the products we carry, requiring a minimum of $1,200/CBM (Cubic Meter) or $34/CFT (Cubic Foot). This means that by allocating 1 cubic meter of unused space to store products and fulfill vendor orders, owners can expect to earn $1,200 annually
A typical one-car garage has an effective operating space of 34 CBM or 1,200 CFT. At our minimum product selection criteria, the expected income from one empty garage would be $40,800 a year
However, the expected income for each product varies depending on the product's retail price, space requirements, and annual sales quantity. Our current product pool ranges from $1,200/CBM to over $8,000/CBM, offering significant earning potential for warehouse operators
