Storage-scope review
Cargo, quantity, duration, activity and restriction details assessed before any facility is proposed.
Warehousing
Storage requirements arranged around a confirmed facility scope.
Storage enquiries reviewed against the cargo, duration, access controls, handling activity and available facility arrangement.
Warehousing
One clear brief for the whole movement.
Storage should never be assumed from a transport booking. We first establish what the goods are, how they are packaged, how long they may remain and what inbound, access and release controls are required.
The written arrangement names the facility and sets out responsibilities, controls, charges, exclusions and the outbound process before goods are directed there.
Scope note: storage is arranged through a specifically identified facility; this page does not claim an owned warehouse, guaranteed space, bonded status, a universal security standard, insurance, WMS access or acceptance of restricted goods. The written arrangement identifies the facility, controls, responsibilities and exclusions.

Common questions
Planning secure storage
Does Expedite own the storage facility?
Expedite does not claim an owned facility here. The written arrangement names the facility and makes the responsible parties clear.
What does secure mean here?
It means the required access, handling and release controls are discussed and documented for the proposed arrangement. No certification or universal security level is implied.
Is cargo insurance included?
No insurance or level of cover should be assumed. The contracting parties and customer should verify responsibilities, liability terms and any required insurance before storage begins.
