Storage in transit (SIT) allows moving companies to store goods for extended periods during transport. Customers pay for storage duration and transport separately. SIT accommodates uncertain delivery dates and provides flexibility. Costs increase with longer storage periods. Temperature-controlled storage protects sensitive items.
Pro Tip
Storage in transit helps bridge gaps between departure and arrival. Costs are reasonable for flexibility.
Example
Goods held in storage in transit for 30 days while destination property is being prepared adds $1,500 to moving costs.
