Perhaps one of the most important considerations, when transporting goods of any description, is where the container or product is going to reside for a length of time before onward delivery, or when wholesalers are not ready for the delivery, or unprepared for the same. Houston Contract Warehouse is such a facility, or Houston Fulfillment, where at extremely short notice; they are able to assist customers caught out by early delivery or such like.
Imagine that the importer has just had too many deliveries at the same time at the port. The customer, being a little unprepared, asks the importer to wait for some time to deliver the goods while they prepare to take the load. Now this takes the importer a little by surprise because, more often than not, he works from offices with no storage space, particularly for an order of that dimension. Enter the bulk handling facility which can handle huge amounts of cargo at the drop of a hat. This not only saves on demurrage charges at the port, which can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, it also ensures that the goods are well taken care of up until the time that the customer is ready to take the order. This becomes extremely important if perishable goods are involved and extra security is needed.
This company also has other services that it can offer. It has a sister company who produces tailor made cartons for replacing broken cartons or replacing the originals. The corrugated cardboard boxes, some with wax coating, are extremely durable and are very necessary if the contents are perishable or wet goods. Take, as an example, fresh fish or poultry and any of the by-products. It is very necessary to ensure that liquid or fluids do not leak from these cartons for very obvious reasons since they can contaminate other boxes in the load. Once this happens, the whole load could be condemned resulting in the entire batch being thrown out. They also provide printing facilities for these boxes and cartons to identify the business very clearly. It also denotes what exactly is held in the cartons which is vital if the cargo is perishable goods in transit. Fresh foods, for example, will need to be kept in chilled conditions and the boxes will probably suggest correct temperatures for this.
It is also a valuable asset that this company has vast warehousing buildings on two different coasts covering a huge area, which means that no matter where ships dock, it is within relatively easy distances to the port. Offloading and transporting now becomes easier for the importer because transport charges will be less even though he does not have warehouses or storage facilities of his own. This allows the importer to concentrate on perhaps selling the goods instead of worrying about space, logistics and so on.
Many wholesalers and importers have began to use these services more, deciding to outsource this kind of business to third parties. They are completely geared up to accept large or awkward loads, and they have all the necessary equipment to offload, re-carton or break down loads or goods under the correct storage conditions. This makes it so much easier for the importer and the charges are absorbed along the way.
