Warehousing and Transportation
The problem with chemical public warehousing is their model is built 100% on warehousing/transportation. Costs can add up for the most trivial services. The ability to get material from the warehouse to the customer is not the quickest - at, that is, Monday-Friday from 7:00-4:00. Try nights, weekends and holidays when your customer is down and needs product!!
