Short Term

Get It Picked’s Short-Term cross-dock is for shipments that need a brief pause before moving out. You drop (or your supplier drops) the goods at our hub, we receive and stage them safely for a short window, then dispatch on your chosen run across Nova Scotia.

What is Short-Term Cross-Docking

Short-term cross-docking sits between pure cross-dock and warehousing. Freight is unloaded, checked, and kept in a staging area for a limited time — typically hours to a couple of days — until the receiver is ready or multiple drops are consolidated. You avoid storage bills while keeping control of timing.
