Questions to ask before a warehouse agreement

Term and exit

How long is the commitment, what is the notice period, and what happens to inventory if you leave? Flexible should describe the term you can actually exit, not only the sales language.

The work around the storage

Who receives freight, who prepares orders, and who talks to you when a count is off? A managed account is valuable when one team owns those answers.

Ask which services the specific facility will perform. A network can offer a service somewhere and still be the wrong building for your product.

Proof

Ask for the unit of measure, the location, and any exclusions in writing. If a rate is advertised as a starting price, it should name what it leaves out. MoveXPackages does not publish starting rates until those figures are approved.
