Does business storage include inventory management?

Please specify if needed, and confirm availability, scope of work and fees.
Define business storage around your workflow
- Separate document boxes from operating stock
- Keep your own document index by year, department and box number. List stock batches, quantities and replenishment frequency separately. A total box count does not describe individual-item retrieval, regular deliveries or special handling; raise each requirement before quotation.
- Confirm authorisation and storage conditions in advance
- Specify authorised collectors, delivery addresses and company-document requirements to avoid conflicting instructions for the same batch. Confirm acceptance and actual arrangements for confidential items or goods needing temperature control or special care. General storage must not be assumed to provide certified specialist custody.
Preparing a business storage quotation
- Separate lists, quantities and exterior photos for records, stock and equipment.
- Storage term and retrieval frequency for each batch, including whole-box or individual-item needs.
- Collection/delivery addresses, management hours, goods lifts and known restrictions.
- Authorised contacts, company paperwork and the exact storage/moving work included.

Business Storage FAQs
How to get a quote for Business Storage? What is the minimum storage duration?
Quotes are provided based on item type, quantity, volume, storage duration, and access requirements. Please provide estimated inbound and retrieval dates first; the actual rental period, commencement arrangements, renewals, and early retrieval terms are subject to the plan confirmed by both parties.
Can I retrieve items in batches or arrange regular collection/delivery?
You may schedule retrieval for the entire batch or in parts as needed, and you can also enquire about regular collection/delivery arrangements. Please provide the box numbers or item list, quantities, estimated dates, and collection locations for our customer service team to confirm the timing and quotation. Please verify the storage fees and the services included in each moving/collection/delivery separately, as storage fees do not necessarily include free delivery.
Can company invoices be issued?
Company invoices can be issued. Please provide the company name and invoice header first, and verify the service items and amounts before confirmation. If there is a specified invoice format or internal procurement requirement, please raise it with customer service during the quotation stage to confirm if such arrangements can be provided.
How to organise company documents? How to submit privacy requirements?
It is recommended to create an external box list by box number, year, or department, and seal the document boxes to make it easier to specify which boxes to retrieve. When requesting a quote, you can provide photos of the external boxes, the number of boxes, and their dimensions; avoid sending document contents or personal information contained within the documents. If there are requirements for sealing, confidentiality, or designated personnel for pickup, please raise them before making an appointment to confirm the actual arrangements that can be provided.
Does storage include inventory management, picking, or e-commerce order fulfillment?

What items are unsuitable for storage?
Flammable, explosive, dangerous, or prohibited items, perishable foods, and live organisms cannot be stored. For irreplaceable original documents, valuables, or items with special storage requirements, please first consult our customer service team to see if they are suitable and acceptable; do not deliver them directly to the warehouse without confirmation.
