Logistics and warehousing
Storage and handling between transport stages.
Overview
Between two stages of a journey, goods often need to wait, be grouped or be prepared. Warehousing gives your supply chain the flexibility it needs.
Cargo Express organises the temporary storage, consolidation and handling of goods while they await the next stage of their journey.
Storage can be combined with collection, transport and delivery so that your goods move from one stage to the next without interruption.

Questions about this service
How long can goods be stored?
Storage is designed to support your transport needs. The storage period and its conditions are agreed in writing in your quotation.
What is consolidation?
Consolidation means grouping several consignments — for example from different suppliers — into a single shipment. It can reduce costs and simplify transport and customs formalities.
Can all types of goods be stored?
Some goods need specific storage conditions or authorisations, for example dangerous, temperature-sensitive or high-value goods. Tell us what you need to store so that we can confirm what is possible.
