June marks the official start of peak season preparation for cross‑border sellers. Western Post just opened LA18, a new 443,190 sq ft warehouse in Los Angeles. This launch pushes Western Post‘s total global storage footprint past 9 million square feet.

Why LA18 Is Different

LA18 isn’t a standard storage building. It‘s designed for large, bulky items and high‑velocity ecommerce fulfillment. The facility can handle furniture, home goods, everyday essentials, and compliant battery‑powered products.

• 48 loading docks plus 2 ground docks for containers and oversized freight

• Regular capacity: 12–15 containers per day; peak: 15–20 containers

• B2C daily capacity: 3,000–5,000 orders

• B2B daily capacity: 150–200 pallets

• A full fleet of forklifts, reach trucks, and picking equipment moves both pallets and irregular large items smoothly

• WMS system and a 40‑person on‑site team keep inbound, put‑away, and outbound processes accurate and accountable

Air and Port Access Keep Costs and Transit Low

LA18 sits in Southern California‘s logistics corridor, close to both major airports and container ports.

• Ontario International Airport (ONT): 15 minutes

• Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): ~1 hour 10 minutes

Air‑freight replenishment moves fast. For high‑value or time‑sensitive goods, being this close to ONT is a real advantage.

Port access is just as strong:

• Port of Los Angeles: ~1 hour 15–45 minutes

• Port of Long Beach: ~1 hour 10–40 minutes

Compared to inland warehouses, LA18 cuts the drayage distance significantly. That means lower inbound transportation cost for furniture, home goods, and other large‑item LCL or FCL shipments.

FedEx and UPS Are Minutes Away

Last‑mile speed depends on carrier proximity. FedEx and UPS hubs are both close to LA18. Packages leave the warehouse and get scanned sooner. For sellers, shorter last‑mile transit time usually means lower damage rates and better customer satisfaction.

10–25 Mile Circle Around Major FBA Hubs

LA18 sits within a 10–25 mile radius of key FBA fulfillment centers, including ONT8, LAX9, LGB8, and SBD1.

Sellers can bulk‑ship inventory into LA18, then replenish FBA just‑in‑time. This hybrid model gives you the cost advantage and flexibility of a third‑party warehouse while keeping Prime inventory in sync with Amazon‘s network. It’s multi‑warehouse, smart redistribution.

End‑to‑End Fulfillment, Not Just Storage

LA18 is a full‑service fulfillment hub, covering every leg from port to end customer.

• Inbound: port pickup, FCL/LCL unloading, de‑vanning, sorting, and put‑away

• Value‑added services: labeling, relabeling, inspection, repacking, palletizing, stretch wrapping, parts kitting, and combo packaging

• Outbound: B2C ecommerce fulfillment, B2B wholesale and retail replenishment, FBA and VC order transfer, returns processing, and B2B truckload/LTL delivery

With one partner, sellers can manage the entire post‑import supply chain — less friction, lower overhead.

9 Million Sq Ft and Growing

LA18 is part of Western Post‘s wider North American and European footprint. Total global storage now exceeds 9 million square feet. The network is built for multi‑warehouse allocation, smart order routing, and standard operating procedures that scale.

Whether you sell furniture, appliances, 3C electronics, or everyday household goods, LA18 gives you a reliable West Coast node for U.S. fulfillment.

From container drop to customer doorstep, Western Post keeps your products moving safely, accurately, and fast.
