Temperature Controlled Warehouse. The Heat Stays Outside.
Climate controlled fulfillment inside our 250,000 sq ft Paramount, CA warehouse. Your cosmetics, supplements, chocolate, and candles sit at a monitored 60–75°F year-round — with temperature logs you can hand to any auditor — while orders pick, pack, and ship from the same building.

Every Product Has a Failure Temperature
A standard warehouse in Southern California doesn't sit at room temperature — in August, the racks can pass 100°F. Here's where products on those racks start dying.
Wine
Sustained heat ages wine prematurely and pushes corks
Chocolate
Cocoa butter blooms, then melts outright
Lipstick & balms
Sticks soften, deform, and separate
Gummy vitamins
Gummies fuse into a single brick
Candles
Wax sweats, warps, and pulls from the vessel

Interior temps in a standard SoCal warehouse, August
Our climate zones never leave 60–75°F. None of this happens to your inventory.
Climate Controlled. Not Cold Chain. Here's the Difference.
Plenty of 3PLs blur the line. We won't — you should know exactly what you're buying before a single pallet arrives.
What our climate controlled storage covers
- ✓Ambient climate control held at 60–75°F, year-round
- ✓Continuous temperature monitoring with logged readings
- ✓Exportable temperature history for audits, retailers, and regulators
- ✓FDA-registered facility — supplements, cosmetics, and food welcome
- ✓Climate racking in the same building as pick, pack, and ship
- ✓Protection through SoCal summers, when it matters most
What we'll tell you straight
- —Not refrigerated storage (35–46°F) — we don't run coolers
- —Not frozen storage or cold chain logistics
- —Not for products labeled 'keep refrigerated' — we'll tell you straight
If your product genuinely needs refrigeration, we'd rather point you elsewhere than store it wrong. For everything that needs stable room temperature — this is the building.
Temperature Controlled Fulfillment, By the Numbers
What Is a Temperature Controlled Warehouse?
A temperature controlled warehouse maintains a fixed ambient range — ours holds 60–75°F — regardless of what the weather does outside. That sounds simple until you see what a standard warehouse does in a Southern California summer: steel buildings absorb heat all day, and interior rack temperatures routinely pass 100°F in July and August. Any heat-sensitive product stored there is degrading whether it looks like it or not.
Real temperature control has two halves. The first is the conditioning itself — holding the range through heat spikes, not just on mild days. The second is proof: continuous monitoring with logged readings, so when a retailer, auditor, or the FDA asks how your inventory was stored, you hand over a temperature history instead of a guess. Our climate zones are monitored around the clock inside our Los Angeles-area fulfillment center, and every SKU is tracked in the same warehouse management system that runs the rest of the operation.
Just as important: the climate zones aren't a separate building or a partner facility. They sit under the same roof as receiving, pick-pack, and shipping — so your heat-sensitive SKUs get same-day fulfillment without ever crossing a hot loading dock twice.
Climate Controlled Storage vs. Cold Storage
Brands searching for a "cold storage 3PL" often don't need one. Cold storage means refrigeration — 35–46°F — or frozen storage below that. It's built for perishables: fresh food, certain biologics, products labeled "keep refrigerated." It's also dramatically more expensive per pallet position.
Most heat-sensitive consumer products — cosmetics, skincare, supplements, nutraceuticals, chocolate, candles, wine — are formulated to be stable at controlled room temperature. What destroys them isn't the absence of refrigeration; it's the 95–110°F swings of an un-conditioned warehouse or a parked trailer. For those products, climate controlled storage at 60–75°F is the correct spec — and paying refrigerated rates for it is just burning margin.
The honest answer we give brands: if the label says refrigerate, we're not your warehouse. For everything else that suffers in heat, our monitored climate zones cost a fraction of cold storage and hold your product exactly where the manufacturer intended. Run your numbers with our fulfillment cost calculator or send us your pallet count for an exact quote.

If your product changes when it gets hot, it belongs in a climate zone. These are the categories we store and ship every day.
Temperature Controlled Warehouse FAQs
What brands ask before moving heat-sensitive inventory to us.
What is a temperature controlled warehouse?+
A temperature controlled warehouse maintains a set ambient temperature range year-round — in our case 60–75°F — instead of letting the building swing with outdoor weather. Temperatures are actively monitored and logged, protecting heat-sensitive products like cosmetics, supplements, chocolate, and candles from degradation, melting, and efficacy loss.
What temperature range do you maintain?+
Our climate controlled zones hold a 60–75°F ambient range year-round inside our 250,000 sq ft Paramount, CA facility. Temperatures are monitored continuously and logged, and the records are available whenever you need them for audits, retailers, or compliance reviews.
Is climate controlled storage the same as cold storage?+
No. Climate controlled (temperature controlled) storage holds a stable ambient range — 60–75°F — which is what most cosmetics, supplements, chocolate, and candles need. Cold storage means refrigeration (35–46°F) or frozen storage, which we do not offer. If your product requires true cold chain, we'll tell you straight — we're not the right warehouse for it.
Do you provide temperature logs for compliance and audits?+
Yes. Our climate zones are monitored around the clock and readings are logged continuously. When an auditor, retailer, or regulator asks how your inventory was stored, you get documented temperature history instead of a shrug.
What products need temperature controlled storage?+
Anything that degrades, melts, or loses efficacy in heat: cosmetics and skincare (emulsions separate, actives break down), supplements and gummy vitamins (potency loss, fusing), chocolate and confections (bloom and melt around 78–80°F), candles and wax products (softening and sweating), wine, and heat-sensitive electronics.
Is your whole warehouse climate controlled?+
We operate dedicated climate controlled zones within our 250,000 sq ft facility. Heat-sensitive SKUs are racked in the climate zones; everything else lives in standard ambient storage. Your inventory is assigned based on what the product actually needs — you don't pay climate rates on goods that don't require it.
Does climate controlled storage cost more?+
Climate positions carry a modest premium over standard racking because conditioning air isn't free — but pricing is volume-based, quoted on your actual pallet count and order volume. Send us your numbers and you'll get exact storage and per-order pricing. The quote is the price.
Do orders ship from the climate zones same-day?+
Yes. The climate zones sit inside the same building as our pick, pack, and ship operation — inventory doesn't travel to a separate site. Orders placed before the daily cutoff pick from climate storage and ship the same day.
Is your facility FDA-registered?+
Yes. Our Paramount, CA warehouse is FDA-registered, which matters if you sell supplements, cosmetics, or food products. Combined with monitored climate storage and documented temperature logs, that's the storage story regulators and retail buyers want to see.
Do I need cold chain for chocolate or supplements?+
Usually not. Most chocolate, confections, supplements, and cosmetics are formulated to be stable at controlled room temperature — the damage happens when they sit in an un-cooled warehouse or truck that hits 90–110°F in summer. A monitored 60–75°F ambient range protects them. True refrigerated cold chain is only required for products explicitly labeled 'keep refrigerated.'
