Warehousing
CDS Logistics facilities operate primarily as cross-docks. Our mission is to turn inbound items as quickly as possible, typically within 1-2 days, thereby getting your product to the end user in the most efficient manner. We know that when a customer commits to buying a product, they want delivery of that product sooner rather than later.
However, we also offer temporary and long term storage at reasonable rates, as well as customer pick-up programs. All CDS network locations have suitable warehouse space, experienced personnel and customer friendly operating hours to make will call programs run as smoothly as possible.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
