| Storage-in-Transit | |
| If you need to delay the delivery of your interstate shipment temporarily, you can take advantage of Atlas Van Lines' Storage-in-Transit (S-I-T) service. When you request that your shipment be placed in S-I-T, the benefits of moving with Atlas are extended to storage. S-I-T offers you transit storage for up to 180 days* (that's six full months) - ample time for locating or taking possession of your new residence. Your goods can be stored safely at either the origin warehouse or the destination warehouse. Talk with your move coordinator about your storage needs. With a thorough understanding of your storage requirements, the move coordinator can access options available and recommend the best to suit your needs. | How it works When delivered to the warehouse, S-I-T shipments are placed in storage containers. These are secured to protect your goods from loss or damage. Household items stay packed in their original moving cartons, while upholstered furniture is stored on specially-designed racks and protected from dust and dirt with stretch wrap. Cars, boats, trailers, motorcycles and other vehicles are sheltered inside the warehouse. Both the driver delivering your shipments into S-I-T and the receiving storage agent check to ensure that every item on the Household Goods Inventory form (reviewed and signed off on by the customer after the shipment is loaded) is fully accounted for. |
You are assured that everything packed and
loaded at your origin residence will be delivered from the warehouse to the new home. Atlas understands that quality storage is important to you. All Atlas agency warehouses are inspected and graded by corporate quality inspectors. Agency warehouses must receive a rating that exceeds the minimum acceptable standard set by the "Atlas World-Class Commitment" guidelines. Some examples of agency warehousing requirements are: "All household goods items are containerized... Storage containers are neat, organized and in good condition... There is a designated person for security and maintenance... Warehouse has heat sensors or sprinkler system." |
*In some cases, storage may last longer than six months. Since S-I-T is only available for 180 days, Atlas notifies the customer near the end of that period that S-I-T converts to permanent storage with the local agent's warehouse. The customer is advised to contact the warehouse for applicable storage rules, regulations and rates.
