Bondurant – Dino's Storage

How the self-storage can be the best option close to the Amazon fulfillment center

New Amazon fulfillment center is coming at Bondurant, Iowa with a characteristic of a warehouse. The facility will be used as a place that stores products but also for packing and picking up. Amazon fulfillment center does have storage to be used for its own business, but it only keeps the product when it is in transit. There are tons of ways for sellers and buyers to use self-storage units near the Amazon fulfillment center.

Sellers can use the storage units to store their product that frequently goes through the fulfillment center for the transit to the customers. For example, if you sell lots of appliances that consume your personal space but you still want to keep them at someplace before it goes to the fulfillment center, the storage unit nearby will be the perfect option. You can have 24 hours access so that you can manage your products anytime you want.

Buyers who buy things periodically from Amazon but if they don’t want it in their personal house or property, here it is! A storage unit near the fulfillment center can be the best choice to store items you buy before you actually use it. It is going to be very convenient to pick up from the Amazon fulfillment distribution center and manage it anytime you want.

It is so exciting to see the Amazon fulfillment center is building up their facility. Remember, having a personal storage unit that is very close to the Amazon fulfillment center can be an upgrade to your consuming process.

Pianos Disappearing from Homes

Piano retailers and manufacturers are closing their doors across North America and elsewhere as the public appetite for the expensive, space-consuming instruments dims.

Declining sales have plagued the industry for years and was exacerbated by the Great Recession. In many cases, pianos that once would have been resold are simply hauled to the trash dump.

“In our industry, it’s not as drastic as the computer replacing the typewriter,” said Ted Good, president of Ohio’s only dealer for new Steinway & Sons pianos, “it’s just changing.” The company, he said, has seen flat sales for the last five years.

In today’s fast-moving culture, shrinking homes and even competition with sports and video games have affected sales, according to industry experts and piano store owners. Nationwide sales dropped by half in a 20-year period, from nearly 175,000 in 1987 to 62,500 in 2007, according to the Bluebook of Pianos.

Bob Russell, a registered piano technician in Ohio runs a third-generation business. He said the piano business may be have been affected by some drastic changes in society but he still tunes close to 1,500 pianos a year. He believes new piano sales will continue to be flat for a while because of influences like a saturated market of used pianos.

“The problem with new piano sales is they’re competing with hundreds of thousands of pianos sold 10 years ago,” said Russell, “Ten years on a new piano is nothing. It’s like 5,000 miles on a car.”

From used and refurbished pianos to much less expensive brands and models, the piano’s biggest competition has probably been digital pianos – or even cheaper, digital keyboards that are sold in retailers that range from Kmart to Costco.

An electronic keyboard can be purchased for less than $200, while a standard piano may cost from $5,000 to $250,000. And the keyboard is portable, while the piano is a heavyweight consumer of large spaces in a home.
