LVK supports two types of inventory transfers: moving inventory to a quarantine or non-sellable location within a warehouse, and physically transferring inventory between warehouses. This article covers how to request each type and the associated pricing.

Two Types of Inventory Transfer
Quarantine / Non-Sellable
Use this type when specific units need to be moved to a quarantine or non-pickable location within the warehouse. Common reasons include:
- A new shipment of the same SKU arrived in new packaging and the old stock needs to sell through first.
- A vendor-reported issue requires isolating a subset of inventory pending third-party direction.
- A product launching on a specific date needs to be held in a non-pickable location until then.
- Any other reason to isolate specific SKUs.
Warehouse to Warehouse
Use this type when you need inventory physically moved from one LVK fulfillment center to another.

How to Request an Inventory Transfer — Warehouse to Warehouse
This requires both a Special Projects request and a Transfer Manual Order. Complete the steps below in order.
-
Create a Transfer Manual Order.
- Place the order on Hold so the Special Projects team can validate it.
-
Create a Shipping Plan to the destination LVK warehouse so we can receive the inventory.
- Submit a support ticket for the Special Projects team.
No shipping plan is needed if the inventory is being transferred to your own warehouse.
Include the Transfer Manual Order number and Shipping Plan details in your Special Projects ticket.
Pricing for Inventory Transfer Requests
Inventory transfers are billed as a Special Project. Labor is charged at $45/hr (US) / $63/hr (CA), with a minimum billing of 15 minutes.
