HOW DOES IMPACT WAREHOUSING WORK?
Impact warehousing is a service that allows our clients to maintain a large stock of promotional products and distribute it as necessary. This service is handy for those with limited space for stock at their premises and works so well with an online store.
Here’s how warehousing with Impact works.
Set Up
Impact can warehouse your new or existing stock!
For new stock, the process begins like a normal merchandise order. You select and approve your promotional products as you usually would, but request warehousing. The products will then be shipped to one of Impact’s warehouses in Launceston, Melbourne, Sydney or New Zealand for storage.
When it is required, you simply contact one of our consultants and request the stock, either partially or the complete amount. The products are then dispatched from the warehouse.
What are the costs involved?
There are a couple of costs involved with Impact warehousing, beginning with an annual fee based on your annual spend.
If you spend $50k or more on merch, there is no annual fee
If you spend between $20k and $49k, there is a $750 charge per annum
If you spend less than $20k there is a $1500 charge per annum
We do charge a minimal pick, pack and handling fee when the products are requested from the warehouse. As well as freight to you, charged at cost.
Existing products (not ordered through Impact) are sent by you to our site and incur a stocking fee dependent on their quantity.
When are the warehoused products delivered?
Orders are dispatched from Impact’s warehouses on the same day if they’re ordered before 2pm. Same-day dispatch is not guaranteed if the order is received after that time.
Delivery to locations in metro Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia happens next-day. Products heading to Brisbane arrive in two days, and all locations further than those receive the order within seven days.
What are the benefits of Impact warehousing?
Warehousing of promotional products is useful for those businesses who are tight on their own storage space. Some orders can be bulky and having access to them via a warehouse frees up the office space for more important things. Warehousing is especially helpful when stocking products for the year or upcoming events.
Other times, you may have plenty of storage space, but the dusty or fast-paced warehouse environment is not the best solution. Impact’s off-site storage works exceptionally well to prevent spoilage and also protects office staff from any WHS issues involved when entering warehouses.
Ready access to promotional merchandise and apparel within the office environment sometimes leads to items ‘walking. At those critical times when items are needed for an event, the stock on hand can be too low for the need. This creates a lot of pressure on the responsible personnel.
Impact are well-versed in the storage of promotional products, having done it since 2001. We know what we’re doing and understand the your concerns when it comes to getting your branded merchandise. We have great capacity and experience dealing with storage and delivery. You can be comfortable in knowing your products are safe and sound, ready to be delivered when needed.
