How Goods Are Kept Safe in Storage for Months

Racking, inventory checks and insurance that runs the whole period. What actually keeps stored goods in the condition they arrived.

Goods in storage rarely come to harm from theft. They come to harm from moisture, pressure and being lost track of.

Off the floor

Goods go onto racking rather than being stacked on the floor. That keeps them away from damp and stops heavy items crushing the ones beneath.

Against humidity

In coastal cities especially, wood, upholstery and paper absorb moisture over weeks. They stay wrapped for the whole storage period rather than only while they travel.

Counted in and out

  • Every carton is inventoried as it arrives
  • The same list is used when it leaves
  • Items released mid-way are logged against it

Insured throughout

Cover runs for the whole time goods are held, not only the legs either side. Anything lost is refunded at 150% of its declared value.
