Access and scheduling
Carrier pickups set the daily clock. Most small fulfillment spaces have fixed pickup times from the parcel carriers, so a section can move once the last trailer or van leaves. Your operations lead sets the order. Slow movers and reserve stock usually go first, and the fastest-selling SKUs go last, so most orders can keep shipping from the old building. Tell the carriers about the new address and pickup door ahead of the final day.
Many fulfillment spaces are flex units with one or two grade-level doors rather than a full dock, so we plan how carts, pallets, and shelving get in and out without blocking the carrier pickup. The Q4 peak, from October through the holidays, is the wrong time to move, and so are returns-heavy weeks right after. Landlords of flex buildings often ask for our insurance certificate; send us the names to list. Weekend days work well for moving the pack line.
