11. Did You Do All The Research You Could and Should On Them? – If Not, Then DO IT!
Research, research, research! There is no excuse this day and age for going into a contract with a warehousing company you know nothing about.
After all you have numerous means to do this, and I have mentioned them numerous times. But it is very important that you get to know the business model and practice before you enter a contract.
See if they have any social media profiles, look at the employees and other clients of the warehousing company. Get a feel for them.
Check the reviews and see what others say. Check with the BBB and other business related sites. Once you out all this together compare it with their competition.
Make sure you know what to expect before you do enter into the agreement to use their services. Once you sign the contract it might be too late.
12. Check How Long The Warehousing Company Has Been In Business
Though age isn’t always the best gauge to judge a business, it is a good indicator. After all this not only shows longevity but it shows that the company has staying power and trustworthiness.
You want a warehousing company that has been around long enough to develop a solid reputation as good company.
