Warehouse Storage Cairns

We offer long- and short-term secure storage at our depot in Cairns for freight and commercial goods of any size – pallets and bulky items right down to the smallest parcel.

Have your pallets delivered to us and we’ll deliver them to your client at the time that you nominate. We also offer solutions for both smaller-scale storage and distribution, as well as self-storage and pick-up. Your freight carrier can deliver direct to our warehouse and we’ll keep it safe and sound until you’re ready to collect it.

Pallet and Warehouse Storage

For palletised and bulky freight; we offer the ability to deliver to our warehouse via an interstate carrier, and have us deliver your freight to your Cairns client – or yourself – at a time that suits you best. This gives you complete control over when your freight comes in, whilst having peace of mind that it’s safely stored in our pallet racking.

Convenience is at the heart of P & M Carriers because we understand the complicated logistics of freight shipments and distribution. With our warehouse functioning as its own commercial goods depot, you know that your goods are safe and sound, ready for the next part of the journey, as well as the final delivery.

Whether you’d like to organise your own standard courier or employ our same-day courier team, we will ensure a seamless process from the arrival of your pallets through to distribution.

Opting for our courier team does save you time and money in the long run, ensuring an efficient, trustworthy delivery at your command. Our vehicles and contractors deliver to several Australian locations, including outside of Queensland.

Commercial Storage Options for Pick Up and Delivery

For smaller-scale distribution, we can provide a pickup and delivery service where a dedicated third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse would be too much for your business but managing things yourself does not work. Particularly suitable for smaller businesses delivering within the Cairns area from southern regions, or those who need more storage space but can’t afford a warehouse or racking of their own.

We are happy to provide a cost-effective solution for smaller companies; we know that many businesses don’t require their own storage facilities, and can work within these limits to deliver an excellent pickup and delivery service. Each job we undertake has the staff and vehicles fit for the job, which means our deliveries will always arrive on time.

No matter what you need to collect or send, from small items to large-scale furniture and appliances, we have everything we need to ensure it arrives in one piece. We make sure to send multiple contractors if the cargo is particularly heavy, minimising the chance of even minor careless damage; we cut no corners at P & M Carriers.

Freight Self-Storage in Cairns

Also an option for smaller organisations, we can provide some storage space in our racking where you need freight brought up from southern regions and don’t have your own space to store it. This allows interstate carriers to drop the freight directly to our depot while we store it here until you’re ready to come to pick it up.

Sometimes, what you need is the flexibility of temporary storage until you are ready to collect a package. This level of convenience can be invaluable and guarantees your delivery is safe, without you needing to worry too much about timing. You can collect it at your convenience, even if you have a busy schedule; you don’t have to plan your days around your delivery.

Choosing our warehouse as a pick-up point can help your business focus on other matters – only collecting the freight once it is convenient, or even just once it becomes necessary. We can still bring it straight to your door, but self-pick-up gives you the time to prepare your business for receiving a sizeable delivery.

Why choose P & M Carriers Warehouse Storage?

Our warehouse storage is a core part of our business and integrates well with the range of transport services we are proud to offer. Our taxi trucks can help deliver the construction materials you order directly to a worksite, for example – and you can even rent this vehicle out for the day to help you with any task at hand.

The P & M Carriers warehouse is fundamental to everything we do, serving as a hub for every delivery we handle; it’s a safe space for packages of all kinds. Whether you’re looking for a place to store your packages or a courier to send them on to your clients, you can be sure P & M Carriers is fit for the job.

 

Warehouse Storage Cairns FAQs

What goods can I store in your warehouse?

You can store most types of goods in our warehouse facility. The only exceptions are frozen foods and some hazardous chemicals. For perishable goods, we recommend letting us know the expiry date so that we can store them in the right order.

Some hazardous goods can be stored in our facility but they have special storage requirements. So please contact us before booking space to ensure we can accept these goods.

How do I know my goods are secure in your freight storage facility?

Our warehouse facility is protected by a range of security measures giving you peace of mind that your goods are safe and secure. Firstly the parameter is protected by security fencing and access to the compound is strictly monitored.

Our warehouse facility is also protected by CCTV which is monitored 24 hours a day. All employees are also carefully vetted to ensure they are honest and trustworthy. And access to the building is controlled by a security pass.

How do you charge for commercial storage space?

We charge a monthly fee per sq m for the amount of space you need. Most customers book a predetermined amount of space and are billed each month. But our terms are flexible so you can increase or decrease the amount of space you need at short notice.

However, we know not all businesses are the same and some have unusual storage requirements. So if you don’t think paying per sq m works for you. Get in touch and we’ll work out a system that works for everyone.

How long does unpacking take?

This will depend on the type, size and number of goods to be unpacked. A typical pallet of medium size boxes can be unpacked in around 30 minutes. But obviously, if it only contains a single product it will take much less than this.

How the goods are stored in our warehouse can also impact unpacking times. For example, if goods need to be sorted into individual sizes this can take much longer than simply unpacking. Get in touch for a more accurate estimate for your goods.

How do you handle damaged goods on delivery?

Any items that are damaged on arrival will be photographed and sent to you for review. We don’t typically refuse the delivery because this creates problems for our customers. So it is down to you to claim back from the supplier the cost of any damaged goods.

We typically hold damaged goods in quarantine until we get feedback from you on how to proceed. We can arrange for goods to be returned to the supplier, or we can put them into stock once you have negotiated a settlement.

What happens if there is a discrepancy in inventory count?

All goods are reconciled with delivery notes on delivery. You will be notified about any discrepancies in supplies within one hour of delivery. Goods that are subject to inventory claims are held in quarantine until a settlement has been negotiated with the supplier.

For very small discrepancies we recommend adding them to inventory immediately and negotiating with the supplier to send out the missing quantity. This ensures your inventory is not held up in quarantine while you negotiate with the supplier.

Do you have long-term contracts?

No, we operate on a flexible basis because this is what our customers want. So you are not tied into a long-term contract. But we do have a minimum charge of one month for warehouse space.

This flexible approach also allows you to increase or decrease the amount of space you need at short notice. This is ideal for seasonal businesses whose warehouse requirements fluctuate across the year.
