GROWTH STORY
From swamp coolers and scorpions to four expansions in 10 months — how Poltex Global scaled their Home Depot drop shipping operation
Poltex Global at a glance:
Ground-level storage units with no loading dock, no AC, extreme temperatures, and pests; LTL shipments were a nightmare; couldn't find a space that checked all the boxes
Climate-controlled warehouse with truck-level and ground-level docks, shared equipment (pallet jacks, electric stackers), all-inclusive pricing, and flexible unit sizes
Four expansions in 10 months; streamlined LTL shipments; eliminated equipment purchases; faster order fulfillment; room to keep growing
Jason Faast runs Poltex Global, drop shipping luxury European windows and doors for homedepot.com. These aren’t ordinary windows — they’re triple-pane tilt-and-turn windows from Poland with energy efficiency numbers nothing in the American market can touch. But running a drop shipping operation for large, heavy products requires serious infrastructure. Before WareSpace, Jason was working out of multiple ground-level storage units — think U-Haul mini storage. No loading docks for LTL trucks. No air conditioning, just a swamp cooler that made everyone sweatier. Freezing in winter. And constant visitors: bugs, mice, lizards, snakes, scorpions.
Ten months at WareSpace changed everything. Jason started small, unsure how it would work out. Then demand grew — a great problem to solve — and he’s expanded four times: small unit to another small unit to a bigger unit to the current double unit. The truck-level loading dock transformed shipments. The climate control made work bearable. The shared equipment — pallet jacks, electric stackers, conference rooms — eliminated costs he’d already priced out. As Jason puts it: WareSpace is built by people who’ve done warehousing before. You can tell because nothing is missing.
Before WareSpace Swamp Coolers and Scorpions
Swamp Coolers and Scorpions
Poltex Global started drop shipping window and door trim kits for Home Depot before COVID. When the pandemic hit and materials became scarce and expensive, Jason went overseas searching for better products. He found luxury European tilt-and-turn windows from Poland — triple-pane, super energy efficient, nothing in America that can compete. The business pivoted and grew.
But the infrastructure couldn’t keep up. Jason was operating out of multiple mini storage units — ground-level U-Haul style spaces. When LTL trucks showed up at truck-bed height, there was no loading dock. Every delivery became a logistical nightmare requiring rented equipment and extra costs.
The environment was brutal. Texas summers with no air conditioning — just a swamp cooler that made everyone sweatier. Freezing winters. And constant wildlife: bugs, mice, lizards, snakes, scorpions. Working meant constantly looking over your shoulder instead of focusing on the job.
Jason searched for something better. He looked at locations from Denton to Mansfield — nothing checked all the boxes. He needed a truck-level dock and a ground-level dock. Climate control. Security. A location near major freeways. Everything in one place. Most options that had loading docks cost about the same as WareSpace but came with none of the extras.
“Bad experiences from my old storage units were typically around the weather and the bugs and mice and lizards and snakes and scorpions. We never have to deal with that at WareSpace.”

Making the Switch Nothing Missing
Nothing Missing
When Jason visited WareSpace, he fell in love with it. Multiple sizes to choose from. Truck-level dock and ground-level dock in the same place. Air conditioning, heating, internet, electricity — all included. Great location right off the freeway.
The first LTL container delivery confirmed he’d made the right choice. The dock made everything so much better. No renting equipment. Just pull product right off the dock. A huge improvement over the old way.
The shared equipment pushed WareSpace over the top. Pallet jacks of various sizes available to use. Electric pallet jacks. An electric stacker that goes high enough for multi-level stacking. Conference rooms and meeting spaces. A kitchen with coffee. Jason had already priced all this equipment out — nobody else lets you borrow it. At WareSpace, it’s all included.
The all-inclusive pricing simplified everything. One payment covers the lease, electricity, air conditioning, internet, everything. No chasing down utilities. No setting up accounts. No surprise bills. Just one predictable monthly cost.
The way Jason describes it: WareSpace is built by people who’ve done warehousing before and want to show you what they’ve learned. You can tell because nothing is missing.
Where They Are Now Four Expansions and Counting
Four Expansions and Counting
Ten months in, Poltex Global has moved four times at WareSpace. Started with a small unit to test how it would work. Then demand required more inventory — a great problem to solve. The managers found another spot around the corner. Then a bigger unit. Now a double unit combining two larger spaces.
If they run out of space again, Jason can’t wait to solve that problem. There are openings available right now that could work as additions. The flexibility to scale up — or down — without being locked into multi-year contracts means the space always fits the business.
Operations became dramatically more efficient. With adequate space and proper organization, Jason’s team comes in, fulfills orders, handles backstock, prints labels, coordinates drivers — and gets out faster. Time is something you can’t buy, and eliminating the environmental headaches from the old space freed up mental energy to focus on actual work. Instead of looking for scorpions, now he’s looking for the push broom to clean up.
The community has been a bonus. Jason describes himself as someone who’s never met a stranger, and being surrounded by like-minded business owners makes the work more enjoyable. Everyone’s there for the same reason: come in, get work done, make money, feed the family, grow the business.
Security gives peace of mind. Key code access means not just anybody can walk in. Cameras everywhere. A sealed, climate-controlled environment that keeps out both weather and wildlife.
“Describing WareSpace to another business owner — it’s basically somebody who has done warehousing before that wants you to come see what they’re doing. And you can tell they’ve done it before because there’s nothing missing.”

What They Love Everything Included
Everything Included
For Poltex Global, WareSpace solved every problem the old storage units created — and added capabilities Jason didn’t know he needed.
The loading docks transformed shipments. Truck-level and ground-level in the same facility meant LTL deliveries stopped being nightmares. No more renting equipment. No more extra fees. Just efficient receiving and shipping.
The shared equipment eliminated capital expenses. Pallet jacks, electric stackers, conference rooms — all the infrastructure Jason had already priced out, available without purchasing. That equipment cost savings adds up fast.
The climate control made work bearable. No more swamp coolers that just made everyone sweatier. No more freezing winters. No more looking for snakes. Just a comfortable environment where the team can focus on fulfilling orders.
The all-inclusive pricing eliminated complexity. One payment covers everything — rent, electricity, AC, internet. No utility setup. No chasing bills. Predictable costs that make business planning easier.
The flexible sizing made growth frictionless. Four expansions in 10 months, always into available space that fits the current need. The ability to scale up or down without multi-year contracts means the business never outgrows — or overpays for — its warehouse.
