The Benefits of Daily Storage Billing

Cloverdale Cold Storage Ltd. bills only for the number of days your product remains in storage. Most cold storage companies charge based on ”monthly minimum” storage periods. This means that you may have to pay for a full month, or more, even when your product is in storage for just a few days. Cloverdale Cold Storage Ltd. bills for a 10 day minimum and then daily thereafter. This can result in significant storage cost savings.

Imagine not having to worry about withdrawing product prior to month’s end, just so you can avoid another full month storage charge. At Cloverdale Cold Storage Ltd. your storage charge starts on the date your product arrives and ends on the date of withdrawal and the minimum storage period Is only 10 days. This means that you can run your business based on what’s best for you and your customers.
