When it comes to parcel shipments, the key factors are speed and efficiency. Our strategically placed warehouses in St. Paul, MN and beyond help you achieve both of these. Learn more about how we help you quickly and safely get your parcel shipments from point A to point B.
How do parcel shipments work?
From our warehouses, individual parcels will be sent to another depot closer to the delivery location where it will be assigned to a driver according to their area of coverage. The driver then takes your parcel from the depot and delivers it to the recipient along the driver’s route. This is straightforward enough. So, how do we save you money at Strategic Warehousing with our parcel shipment services?
There is an old business adage: Time is money. If we as 3PL (third-party logistics) company are spending our money because your parcel shipments have further to travel to depots, that cost eventually trickles down to our clients. We don’t want that. That isn’t good for your business and it isn’t good for our business, which is why our business is called Strategic Warehousing.
For us, Strategic Warehousing means warehousing located as close as possible to shipyards, railroads, and trucking depots. Why is this important? Time is money, and the closer our warehouses are to these shipping services, the quicker we can get your product to them. Less time equals more money and savings to you.
We also save you money by being a company large enough so you can get part of your product out when you want. Some 3PL companies require you to wait until they have enough other parcels to ship. We’re ready to move product when you’re ready to ship product, and being ready makes money.
