What’s the HUB?

You may have heard of our HUB or received Fedex packages from Albany, but what exactly is this place?? Our Albany hub was established to efficiently ship small packages via Fedex or UPS.  Prior to establishing the HUB, each branch maintained their own inventory. By consolidating our vendor’s inventory into one location, we are able to average a fill rate of around 92-94% and get it to most of customers the next day!!!!  We are also able to stock a much broader range of products and larger quantities of those products. Every HUB order is double checked by our crew prior to shipping to ensure accuracy.  You may be surprised to learn that Avonite orders are also shipped  from Albany via LTL, any typically ship to you in 24 hrs. Between all stocked products, we ship over 400 packages a day!

This is end of the shipping line. The orders will be put on pallets and loaded into a Fedex trailer that is left at the building everyday. We usually fill it completely.
