Our climate controlled facility is now up and running!

September 11th, 2008

Mostly in these pages we try to place the self back pats within paragraphs of otherwise actually useful information, but today we are taking a page from the Car Talk guys Department of “Shameless Commerce” and announcing the debut of our new state of the art climate controlled storage facility.

In the next several days we will have a full update on this facility on the STORAGE page of our website. As 50% of this space is already pre-booked we urge anyone needing climate storage to call us for a quote or schedule a visit, or both. At this early stage we are able to offer contiguous space to customers seeking a private or semi-private area or to forge a custom space with combined racking and open areas for storage of large crates and exhibitions. Have it your way and get in on the ground floor, literally!

The warehouse is adjacent to our full service home base offering packing, crating, pickups, deliveries, receiving, and shipping worldwide. For galleries and collectors accustomed to the self storage approach (aka “you schlep”) we offer a full service curated alternative to all the hassle and expense that entails. One phone call or email and we’ll receive, pack and put away, or access, ship, deliver and install — whatever you need, done with dispatch and done right. You won’t have to run over to “that other place” to meet a shipment coming in or find a piece for viewing.

Our RFID (radio frequency identification) asset tracking system, which incorporates our own proprietary software, will be the subject of a subsequent blog post shortly. RFID labeling allows for instant location of an object EVEN WITHIN A CRATE OR BOX , as well as on a shelf or in a truck. Multiple items in a crate or bin can be counted and identified without opening the package. Imagine. We have seen it in action, and are still shaking our heads. More to come on this !
