From swamp coolers and scorpions to four expansions in 10 months, how Poltex Global scaled their Home Depot drop shipping operation

Jason operated out of multiple ground-level U-Haul-style storage units. When LTL trucks showed up at truck-bed height, there was no loading dock, so every delivery became a logistical nightmare requiring rented equipment and extra costs.

The environment was brutal: Texas summers with only a swamp cooler, freezing winters, and constant wildlife. He looked at locations from Denton to Mansfield, and nothing checked all the boxes.

WareSpace offered multiple sizes, a truck-level dock and a ground-level dock in the same place, climate control, internet, and electricity, all included, right off the freeway. The first LTL container delivery confirmed he'd made the right choice.

Shared equipment pushed it over the top: pallet jacks, electric stackers, conference rooms, and a breakroom, the shared amenities he'd already priced out, included in one predictable monthly cost.

Ten months in, Poltex Global has moved four times, from a small unit to a double unit combining two larger spaces. The flexibility to scale up or down without multi-year contracts means the space always fits the business.

Operations became dramatically more efficient: the team fulfills orders and gets out faster, with key-code security and a climate-controlled environment that keeps out both weather and wildlife.

Before choosing WareSpace, Jason Faast priced out the equipment a window and door drop shipping operation would need. None of the other spaces he looked at would let a tenant borrow any of it. At WareSpace it is included: pallet jacks in several sizes, electric pallet jacks, and an electric stacker that reaches high enough for multi-level stacking.

Jason did not have to buy any of that equipment, and he calls having it included "a big deal." It was one of the factors that pushed WareSpace over the top when he was choosing a new space.

The shared rooms add to it. Along with the equipment, Poltex Global has use of a conference room, a meeting room, and a kitchen with a coffee maker.

Jason's checklist for a new space was specific: air conditioning, a dock, security, cleanliness, and Wi-Fi, all under one all-inclusive monthly lease. He says it doesn't get much better than finding all of them in the same building.

The difference showed up as soon as the team moved in. After they got organized and set up, the work fit the space, and each visit to the warehouse took less time than it used to.
