Storage and Warehousing at AJF

At AJF we often can asked what kind of products we can handle and if this includes unusually shaped items or those which are not boxed. The answer is we can take both standard pallets and non palletised oversized items in our warehouse. Our pick and pack order fulfilment services are available not just for boxed items but for oversized products including those which cylinder shaped, circular or irregular shaped. Our warehousing has handle goods for many different industry sectors. These have included after market car parts, specialised building construction materials, and AJF have specific handling skills for order fulfilment in furniture sector. We have handled both the dispatch of furniture and returns.
We can handle non palletised items with individual weights of up to 75kilos by hand. If you have items above this weight then they need supplied so they can be moved and stored by using a forklift. These items should be packed in a way that that the lifting points are clearly marked and have additional packaging around these areas to prevent the blades from marking the product. Pre-sale checks can be undertaken of any product if a client has concerns over the quality of a product or it is not as expected. This can include photographing or videoing the product in question.
The reverse logistics (returns) services AJF offer apply to non palletised or oversized items. These processes include the ability to fully assess an item for any damage / wear and tear while it was with the customer. We can arrange products to be photographed before repacking the product if required for resale. The photographs are not just suitable to assess the status of the product but can be used directly on e-commence sites so potential buyers understand exactly what they are buying and reduces the risk of further returns.
The technology we have managing our warehousing operations allows us to mix our human picking with an accurate order barcoding check system which ensure the correct pick rate is 100% as opposed to a manual only system which has a high risk of misidentification. We can help clients with how to mark up their products such as using colour identification labels and where to place their product labels where barcoding is not possible.
For distribution of goods and oversize items we can use one of our pallet network agents which offer coverage across all of the UK, Ireland and Europe. Where two man delivery service is required AJF has worked with two man delivery services such as ArrowXL. When working with these service providers we can work directly with them for collections from our warehouse or we can delivery to their local distribution point.
We have flexible storage charges from charges per pick location to long term contracts where clients can rent part of our warehousing which is dedicated solely to their products. If you are looking for storage either short term or long term, use our contact form to get in touch with ourselves to find out how we can assist.
