Here are a few of the more unique services we have performed for special customers. These illustrate our talent in tailoring custom solutions.
We were contacted by Amgraph Packaging to store packing materials for a well-known herbal tea company, Traditional Medicinals. We receive truckloads of pallets of packing materials from Amgraph’s location in Connecticut and store them in our warehouse. Several times a month we deliver directly to Traditional Medicinals in nearby Sebastopol, approximately 20 minutes from our warehouse.
Berlin Metals in Indiana contacted us to store metal coils for them. We deliver their products using our delivery trucks to M&G Duravent, a local business located only a block from our warehouse. We have made deliveries several times a week since 2018. We were the closest warehouse for our customer’s client which has worked well for many years.
Holcim Products, formerly known as Gaco Western, has been our longest running warehouse client since 1976. We store specialty roof coatings & related materials, and ship to several different contractors & distributors in the western region.
Tao Consulting (later changed to SPH Digital) engaged us in 2012 to provide storage and shipment of digital photo frames, mostly shipping to Amazon. These items were high value products, requiring us to carefully handle them. The client was pleased with our handling of his inventory until he decided to move the company in another direction.
We were contacted by this interior decorative housewares company in 2013 to provide pick & pack fulfillment services for online retailers like Wayfair & Amazon. We shipped hundreds of orders monthly for several years until the company was purchased. For this client we utilized our PleaseShipIt shipping software, allowing One Bella Casa to automatically upload hundreds of orders at a time into our database, avoiding manual data entry of the orders. This saved the time of our staff and allowed us to offer lower fees to the customer.
Our customer One Bella Casa referred Reajax Enterprises to us for e-commerce and fulfillment services. Reajax manufactures wall art pieces which are sold through Amazon and several other e-commerce sites. We also utilized the PleaseShipIt software to funnel these drop-ship orders from Reajax into our back office system. This program lasted about 8 years.
