Term agreement
Contract warehousing
A defined block of racked positions reserved for you under a term agreement. Capacity and rate are fixed for the length of the contract, so your storage line stops moving with the market.
Contract warehousing · South Florida
Where your inventory sits still.
Dedicated racked pallet positions under a term agreement, plus overflow space when your own building runs out.

The floor
A building, a rack position, and someone who signed for it.
Storage is a physical job. Freight arrives on a real dock, gets put away in a numbered position, and is released against a real signature.
Three ways inventory sits with us.
Month to month
Overflow & seasonal storage
Short-term pallet storage for the weeks your own building is over capacity. Sized to a peak rather than a year, released when the peak passes.
No storage line
Cross-dock & import handling
Freight that moves straight across the dock without being put away, and import containers stripped and palletised on arrival.
Included in every agreement
What comes with a position.
Receiving against a profile
Inbound checked against the pallet profile you gave us, with counts reported back the same day it lands.
Numbered positions
Your stock sits in identified rack locations rather than a floor pile, so a release is a lookup, not a hunt.
A fixed rate for the term
Storage per position per month, inbound handling, outbound handling. Set at signature and held for the agreement.
Release on your schedule
Book an outbound and the pallets are staged for the carrier you nominate, full loads or partial.
How freight arrives
Three shapes in. One position out.
01 / Import
A sealed container
Arrives from the port on a chassis, floor loaded or already palletised, and has to be stripped before anything can be put away.
02 / Domestic
A truckload of pallets
Arrives built and wrapped, checked against the profile, and goes to rack the same shift it is received.
03 / Overflow
What your own building cannot hold
Arrives because a peak outgrew your racking, sized to the peak rather than to a year.
All three end as a numbered pallet position in one South Florida building, billed the same way and released the same way.
Warehousing holds. Fulfillment ships.
These are two different services and they are bought by two different people. Warehousing is measured in pallet positions and months. Fulfillment is measured in orders and days.
If you ship single units to consumers, you want a fulfillment operation, and our sister brand does that work. If you hold stock in bulk and move it by the pallet, you are in the right place.
| Signal | Warehousing | Fulfillment |
|---|---|---|
| Unit handled | Pallet | Individual item |
| Ships to | Retailer, distributor, plant | End consumer |
| Billed on | Pallet position per month | Order picked and packed |
| Dwell time | Weeks to months | Hours to days |
| Buyer | Operations, supply chain | Ecommerce owner |
Four steps, no discovery call required.

How long for
The term changes the arrangement, not just the price.
Storage is bought three different ways depending on how long the stock sits. Pick the one that matches your situation and the commitment, the rate structure and the release terms all move together.
This is a cross-dock, or it is nearly one.
Under a month, the storage line barely matters and the handling lines are the whole invoice. If the destination is known when the freight lands, it should not be racked at all. If it is not known yet, this is short overflow and it is priced as such.
CommitmentNone. Booked load by load.
Priced onInbound and outbound handling. Storage is minor or absent.
Rate heldPer booking, not per term.
ReleaseOn the outbound you nominate, no notice period.
This is overflow, and you are paying for flexibility.
A few months is a peak, not a baseline. Space is sized to the highest month and released when the peak passes. It costs more per position than a term agreement because we carry the risk of the space going empty, and that premium is what buys you the right to walk away.
CommitmentMonth to month.
Priced onPosition per month, plus handling both ways.
Rate heldReviewed, not fixed. Higher per position than a term.
ReleaseShort notice. Sized to a peak, so it is expected to end.
This is contract warehousing, and the rate stops moving.
Past a year you are buying a baseline, so capacity and rate are fixed for the length of the agreement and your storage line stops tracking the market. It is the cheapest per position of the three, and it is the only one that asks for something in return. If your volume swings hard, cover the baseline here and the swing on overflow.
CommitmentTerm agreement, capacity reserved for you.
Priced onPosition per month at a committed rate, plus handling.
Rate heldFixed for the term. Lowest per position of the three.
ReleaseAt end of term, with the notice stated up front.

One building, and what it reaches.
