Warehousing & Distribution

Warehousing and distribution covers storing your goods after they land and moving them out as your orders require. It removes the pressure to take a full container into your own premises the day it clears.

What's included

Everything covered under warehousing

Short and long-term storage

Space for a few days between clearance and delivery, or ongoing stock holding.

Inventory handling

Receiving, put-away, picking and stock counts.

Order fulfilment

Orders picked, packed and dispatched as they come in.

Cross-docking

Inbound cargo split and sent straight back out without being stored.

3PL documentation

The third-party logistics paperwork your supply chain and auditors need.

Secure handling

Controlled access, with cargo condition recorded on receipt and release.

Who this is for

  • E-commerce and retail businesses with fluctuating stock levels
  • Importers who cannot take a full container in one delivery
  • Manufacturers holding buffer stock close to the port

Documents you'll need

  • Packing list and goods receipt note
  • Stock and inventory instructions
  • Delivery orders
  • 3PL agreements and handling documentation

Requirements vary by commodity and route. We confirm the exact list for your shipment before booking.
