What are the most cost-effective bonded warehouse options for spirits storage, and which operators will handle small quantities?

Members recommend **Law Distribution** as the cheapest all-round bonded warehouse option they've found—several have used them for 5+ years. They will handle small quantities including quarter pallets, making them more flexible than larger providers like LCB, though some found LCB more suitable if flexibility on order size is the priority.

Specific recommendations: - **Law Distribution** — consistently cited as cheapest option; handles small quantities and quarter-pallet orders; proven track record across multiple members over 5+ years - **Andy Roy at BW Logistics** (aroy@bwalogistics.com, Kent-based) — recommended as a good alternative operator; experience with small and fractional pallet shipments

Members also noted that **LCB**, whilst more expensive, offers greater flexibility on minimum order quantities if cost is less of a concern than convenience.

For general business insurance covering alcohol, members suggested exploring **FSB's services** (Federation of Small Businesses), noting an annual subscription is worthwhile.
