About the service

Storage That Fits Around Your Shipment

Storage often comes with moving and shipping. Your new home is not ready, your visa has a gap, your stock is waiting for a sailing, or your cargo has arrived ahead of the importer. Having it in the same hands as your freight forwarder keeps things simple.

We offer storage for a few days up to long term. We can collect your goods, store them, and deliver them locally or ship them abroad when you are ready, with the paperwork handled. For businesses we can also store stock and consolidate several suppliers' cargo into one shipment.

This page explains the options, how storage is priced, what to prepare and what to check before you store. Availability and facilities depend on location and time, so we confirm what is on offer when you ask.

What you can store

Typical items and cargo.

  • Household furniture and boxes
  • Business stock and inventory
  • Cargo waiting for a sailing or flight
  • Goods between moves
  • Consolidation of several suppliers' cargo
  • Exhibition and event material
  • Documents and archives
  • Items you plan to ship abroad later

The detail

Storage in Dubai: What to Check Before You Store

Ask what is covered. Check security, insurance, access hours, handling charges, minimum periods and notice periods. Some goods cannot be stored, such as hazardous materials, perishables and illegal items, and some need special conditions such as temperature control.

Prepare your goods. Pack them in sturdy boxes, label them, keep an inventory, protect furniture and avoid leaving valuables. A clear inventory makes it easier to find things later and helps with insurance.
