Verify & Consolidate Storage Fee (optional)
Need consolidation of multiple packages? If you choose the Verify & Consolidate (V&C) processing method through our California warehouse, a flat $5.00 storage fee per Savo Store order will apply.
The fee is per order, not per package. A V&C order may contain up to 10 packages, and the storage fee remains $5.00 total for the entire order.
