Storage means to reserve or put
away an item for future use. As homes as well offices are getting
smaller and smaller and real estate prices are increasing, many
individuals are downsizing and putting extra goods in storage. Items
that are not needed at the point or can not be accommodated (because of
some restructuring activity, lack of space etc), these warehouses are an
excellent option.
Also, due to security reasons, JIT (just in time) practices and many
other factors, the warehousing or storage facility has gained special
importance. There can be many other reasons because of which private
people and businesses need to store goods.
For export cargo, the movers and packers collect, store and ship in
accordance to the client's instructions, whilst on imports they arrange
delivery from port, store and dispatch directly to the destination of 's
choice. There are some "bonded warehouses" as well where the
goods can be stored (tax free) and which only become due for payment
only when the goods are removed.
