Methodology. Pallet pricing is dominant in AU 3PL but CBM (cubic metre) pricing can be cheaper for low-utilisation pallets (under 1.2 CBM avg). Long-term storage trigger typically kicks in at 90 days with a 1.5–2× multiplier. The figures here use median AU rates — your actual contract may vary ±20%.
