Not another one? Are they taking over the world?

eh?
who?

Apparently Sainsbury's had this built a while ago. They then Mothballed it.
They are opening it again now, and are closing the Corby bonded warehouse and moving the bonded goods to the new centre of the country 'Kent'.
The Corby Warehouse is being refitted for Online shopping and there is also a rumour that Charlton might be closing.
Add to that, Rugby DC is closing in April next year and moving to the old Morrison Warehouse in Tamworth.

I spoked to a driver yesterday - he said it took him nearly an hour to get in - and there was only one truck in front of him

An hour to get in? His company had probably not sent the correct email and reference to the Screwity there. One letter or digit out with the reference, truck or trailer reg and they won't let you in! ( I know, I have to send the emails to them to let you & others in :)

They have wanted to close Charlton for years, plus the PO want it back as they own the freehold and only lease it to Sainsbury's if my memory serves me correctly. They built the new Dartford shed just after Waltham Pointless was opened and they realised the automated systems were crap and that they should have stuck to the earlier method of 'put away'. They wasted £millions£.

Still, they can afford it!

Lazy, the truck that took an hour to get in was one of ours...

Might have been me that sent the email!!

been to dartford 3 times last week and i can honestly say wot a brilliant place sequrity were freindly goods in very good and quick less than a hr each time and clean and tidy drivers room .....well on the bays 70 onwards

Get ready for a big change though.
They are closing Charlton and Allington and putting it into Dartford.
The bonded goods in Dartford are moving to Allington.
