Is there a minimum number of pallets to store with North Industries?

No national-scale minimum is required. North Industries stores anything from a few pallets of overflow to a full recurring program, billed to the space you use. That flexibility is aimed at growing brands and businesses that do not want to commit to pallet floors set by larger providers.

Do you bill by pallet or by square foot?

Both. North Industries can charge by pallet position or by the square foot, depending on how your inventory is stored and moves. The right basis is set with your quote so you pay for the space your product actually uses, not a fixed block.

Is my inventory kept separate, and who insures it?

Your inventory is assigned and organized separately within a controlled-access facility. Clients insure their own goods, while North Industries carries its own business insurance. Your stock is not pooled with other clients' product.

Can I store inventory short-term or seasonally?

Yes. North Industries handles short-term, overflow and seasonal storage as well as long-term programs, with terms set to how long you need the space. This suits seasonal peaks, product launches and one-time project inventory.

Do you deliver stored inventory locally?

Yes. North Industries delivers across the GTA and GTHA on its own final-mile vehicles, so stored inventory can go straight to local customers, retailers or stores without a third-party courier in between.

Why a Mississauga Warehouse Works for Toronto

Many 3PLs that market themselves to Toronto run their warehouses outside the city. North Industries says plainly where it is: Mississauga, next door to Toronto. What matters more for a Toronto business is what happens there:

One site, one team: production, storage and delivery handled together, with no transfers between vendors
Direct access: conversations go to decision-makers and warehouse leadership, not a general inbox
A facility you can see: tours before signing, so you know exactly where your inventory will sit

The address, hours, and tour details are on the North Industries 3PL facility page for Mississauga.

Is North Industries located in Toronto?

No. North Industries is located in Mississauga, at 3186A Lenworth Drive, and serves Toronto businesses from that facility. Its company-operated vehicles deliver to customers in Toronto and Etobicoke, and Toronto clients can tour the warehouse before committing, the same as any local client.

When Toronto Businesses Move Inventory to a 3PL

Most Toronto businesses come to a 3PL at a turning point. The common ones:

Out of space: inventory has outgrown a storefront, office, garage or leased unit
Order growth: online orders have outpaced what the team can pack in-house
Retail wins: a new retail account needs regular store deliveries
Short notice: current warehouse space is ending and stock has to move quickly
Service problems: an existing 3PL communicates poorly or ships late or wrong

For businesses that mainly need space, the pallet and square-foot storage options in Ontario cover how storage is set up and priced.

Can North Industries replenish Toronto retail stores?

Yes. North Industries handles retail and store replenishment, wholesale shipments and deliveries to distribution centres. Stock held at the Mississauga facility can be picked, packed and delivered to Toronto retail locations on company-operated vehicles, with carriers used for longer-distance or national retail programs.

Company-Operated Delivery Into Toronto

North Industries runs its own vehicles for local and regional delivery. Orders for customers in Toronto and Etobicoke can travel with the same team that stored and packed them, instead of going through an outside courier.

Parcels and longer-distance shipments go through carriers such as Canada Post, FedEx and UPS. That gives Toronto brands one partner for local delivery and national shipping.

Does North Industries deliver to Toronto customers with its own vehicles?

Yes. North Industries operates company vehicles for local and regional deliveries, including to customers in Toronto and Etobicoke. Delivery is handled by the same team responsible for storage and fulfillment, which keeps one point of accountability, while carriers cover parcels and longer distances.

3PL Toronto Questions, Answered

Can Toronto businesses visit the North Industries warehouse before signing?

Yes. Toronto businesses can book a tour of the North Industries warehouse at 3186A Lenworth Drive in Mississauga before signing any agreement. A visit shows where inventory would be stored and handled, and it’s a chance to talk through receiving, storage and delivery directly with the operations team.

Does North Industries work with small Toronto brands or only large accounts?

North Industries works with both. Small, growing Toronto brands and larger commercial accounts are served from the same Mississauga facility, with the service scoped to what each business actually needs. Recurring accounts and one-time projects are both supported, so a brand doesn’t need enterprise volume to start.

Can North Industries take in inventory on short notice?

Often, yes. North Industries sets onboarding around each client’s urgency and readiness, which helps when a lease is ending or a current warehouse gives notice. Storage-only moves are usually the fastest to set up, while full fulfillment accounts take longer because integrations and SKU details need to be confirmed first.

Can North Industries fulfill Shopify orders for a Toronto online store?

Yes. North Industries integrates with Shopify, so orders from a Toronto online store flow to the Mississauga facility for picking, packing and shipping. Local orders can go out on company-operated vehicles, and orders for customers elsewhere in Canada ship through carriers.

Can a Toronto business switch to North Industries from its current 3PL?

Yes. Switching starts with a discovery call and a review of the business’s products, SKUs, monthly order volume and storage needs. North Industries then sets up the account and schedules the inbound transfer, so inventory moves from the current provider in a planned sequence rather than all at once.

How does North Industries prepare a quote for a Toronto business?

North Industries builds each quote from the actual work required, not a fixed package. Depending on the account, pricing can include storage by pallet or square foot, receiving and container unloading, per-order pick-and-pack fees, and per-unit fees for labelling, kitting or packaging. Delivery is quoted to the routes needed.

Who does a Toronto client deal with day to day?

Toronto clients deal directly with North Industries decision-makers and warehouse leadership, not a rotating support queue. One accountable team coordinates warehousing, packaging, fulfillment and delivery, so questions about inventory, orders or scheduling go to the people who handle the work.
