WAREHOUSING & DISTRIBUTION · WOODSTOCK
Warehousing & Distribution — Cape Town
JLog provides pallet and shelf storage, pick-and-pack fulfilment, and same-day distribution from our Woodstock warehouse — 5km from the Cape Town CBD. One facility, one team: storage, fulfilment, dispatch and customs clearance under one roof. Stock is barcode-tracked and visible in real time, and orders in before 11am go out the same day.
Pricing
Warehousing has two moving parts: what it costs to store your goods, and what it costs to handle them. We publish the storage rate and quote handling to your order profile.
- Pallet storage — R250 per pallet per month. The standard racked-pallet rate.
- Shelf and bin storage. For smaller SKUs, quoted on the volume you use.
- Handling. Receiving, put-away, pick-and-pack — quoted per client based on your order profile.
- Terms. Month-to-month, 30 days’ notice, no lock-in.
- What affects your total. Storage volume, order frequency, special handling (fragile or high-value), and insurance requirements.
Get a quote with your pallet count and monthly order volume and we will come back with itemised rates within one working day.
What’s Included
- Barcode-scanned receiving and put-away — every pallet and shelf position tracked.
- Real-time stock visibility through JLog’s own platform — stock-level alerts, automated reporting, and a full audit trail.
- Pick, pack and dispatch — orders in before 11am dispatched same-day.
- Distribution — same-day delivery across the Cape Town metro; national courier next-day to major centres.
- E-commerce integration — Shopify and WooCommerce orders flow straight in, and tracking flows back to your customer.
- Import staging — we hold goods in the warehouse while SARS clears them, then pick and distribute on release.
- White-glove handling for art, furniture and high-value goods — climate-stable, access-logged storage. We are the official carrier for the Investec Cape Town Art Fair.
Security & Facility
The warehouse is a CCTV-monitored, access-controlled, guarded complex at Unit 12C, Nearby Industrial Park, 10 Railway Street, Woodstock, Cape Town — 5km from the CBD, with fast access to the major courier collection points. Hours are Mon–Fri 08:00–16:30, with after-hours handling by arrangement.
Warehousing is one part of what we do as a Cape Town logistics company — storage, fulfilment, freight and customs under one roof.
Who It’s For
- E-commerce stores outgrowing the garage or spare room.
- Importers needing storage and distribution once SARS has cleared their goods.
- Galleries, designers and makers needing careful storage between shows or shipments.
- Businesses needing overflow or seasonal space without signing a lease.
Freight and supply chain from Cape Town
Warehousing is only useful if the stock can move. JLog connects its Woodstock fulfilment centre to inbound freight (via sea and air) and outbound delivery (via express courier and national courier networks), so your supply chain runs through one operator rather than three.
Inbound freight to the warehouse:
- Air freight — JLog holds direct commercial accounts with FedEx and DHL. Goods arriving from overseas can be booked consigned to the JLog warehouse for cross-docking or storage. Air freight from most major origins lands at Cape Town International Airport in 3–7 days, with SARS clearance handled by JLog before goods reach the shelf.
- Sea freight (LCL consolidation) — for larger volumes, sea freight arrives at the Port of Cape Town in LCL (shared container) consignments. JLog coordinates customs clearance, takes delivery from the port, and receives goods directly into the Woodstock warehouse. LCL sea freight from Europe typically takes 21–28 days; from Asia, 25–35 days.
- Local supplier collections — for domestic suppliers, JLog arranges collection and same-day receiving. Stock is barcode-scanned, photographed, and shelved within the same working day.
Supply chain visibility: every pallet, shelf position, and order is tracked in JLog’s own platform — real-time stock levels, automated low-stock alerts, and a full audit trail from receipt to dispatch. For retailers and brands managing inventory across multiple channels, this is the stock control layer that replaces a spreadsheet.
No contracts, no minimums. JLog works with businesses from single-pallet importers to multi-channel retailers running hundreds of orders a month. You pay for what you use, with 30 days’ notice to exit.
Last-mile delivery across South Africa
Orders in before 11am go out the same day. JLog dispatches via Bob Go, which rate-shops in real time across 11 South African courier networks — The Courier Guy, Aramex, Fastway/RAM, DSV Road, and others — automatically selecting the fastest and most cost-effective carrier for each delivery address.
| Region | Typical transit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cape Town metro | Same day (orders before 11am) or next business day | 5km from the CBD — most zones covered same-day |
| Johannesburg & Pretoria | 1–2 business days | Direct O/N service available via multiple carriers |
| Durban | 2–3 business days | |
| Other major centres (Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, East London) | 2–4 business days | |
| Rural and remote | 3–6 business days | Bob Go selects the carrier covering the postcode |
Your customers receive automated tracking notifications at collection and delivery. You get a single consolidated courier invoice — no accounts to manage across individual carriers. For e-commerce brands, Shopify and WooCommerce tracking numbers are pushed back to the order automatically so the customer sees status from their order confirmation email.
For international orders dispatched from the Woodstock warehouse, JLog uses its direct FedEx and DHL accounts for 3–7-day international delivery. See international e-commerce shipping from South Africa for how international dispatch works alongside domestic fulfilment.
