Storage and freight transfers can bridge the gap between arrival and final delivery. VEXO Logistics reviews warehousing and transloading requirements with qualified facilities, based on the cargo, handling needs and approved commercial scope.
Choose the facility service you need
Warehousing holds goods for an agreed period. Transloading transfers goods between equipment, such as from an ocean container into a road trailer. Cross-docking moves freight through a facility with limited planned storage. The right arrangement depends on arrival timing, outbound demand and the amount of handling required.
Provide an inventory and handling brief
Share the commodity, pallet or piece count, packaged dimensions, weight, value and expected storage period. Identify floor-loaded containers, mixed products, non-stackable goods, fragile packaging or unusual lifting needs. Food, temperature-sensitive and regulated products require specific facility acceptance.
Define inbound and outbound controls
Agree on appointments, unloading methods, receiving counts, condition checks and the treatment of shortages or visible damage. If you need sorting, relabelling, palletizing, inventory reporting or order selection, list those tasks separately. Do not assume a basic storage booking includes fulfilment or a warehouse management portal.
Understand the charging structure
Costs may include inbound handling, storage, outbound handling, materials, labour and transport. Minimum charges, extended dwell or after-hours work can also matter. Confirm the facility’s service terms, liability arrangements and release instructions before the freight arrives. Bonded storage is a separate capability and must be specifically verified.
Common questions
Can a container be unloaded and the freight sent onward by truck? That is a common transloading request, subject to facility equipment, cargo acceptance and appointment availability.
Can VEXO provide long-term storage? The required location, duration, volume and facility capability must be reviewed before an arrangement is confirmed.
Discuss storage or a freight transfer
Send the location, cargo details, inbound equipment, expected arrival, storage duration and outbound plan. VEXO will review suitable facility arrangements.
