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.

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.
