Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between refrigerated storage and frozen storage at Mile Hi Express?
Frozen storage maintains temperatures at or below 0°F (-18°C) and is designed for long-term preservation of meats, seafood, baked goods, and prepared meals. Refrigerated (cooler) storage operates between 33°F and 41°F (0.5°C to 5°C) and is ideal for fresh produce, dairy, and other perishables that must stay cold without freezing. Mile Hi Express offers both types at its Aurora, Colorado facility.
Does Mile Hi Express offer last-minute or short-term freezer storage?
Yes. Mile Hi Express accepts last-minute short-term storage requests regardless of order size. All we need is confirmation of who is dropping the product off and who is authorized to release it. Product can typically be held for as little as a day or two while you arrange onward pickup or delivery.
What inventory management services are included with frozen storage?
Mile Hi Express provides comprehensive inventory management using WMS (warehouse management software). This includes receiving inventory, tracking stock levels, pulling and building orders, and coordinating outbound delivery or cross-docking. Clients have direct access to their product at all times and receive OS&D (Overage, Shortage & Damaged) reporting for full accountability.
Where does Mile Hi Express deliver refrigerated and frozen orders?
Mile Hi Express delivers throughout the Front Range of Colorado, including Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and surrounding communities. For outbound shipments beyond Colorado, we cross-dock product onto carriers heading out of state from our Aurora facility at 12550 E. 33rd Ave.
How can buying in bulk with long-term freezer storage save my business money?
Long-term frozen storage allows businesses to purchase truckload quantities of product at lower per-unit costs rather than paying LTL (Less Than Truckload) rates for smaller, more frequent orders. Since frozen food can remain viable for months or even years when stored correctly, the upfront investment in bulk purchasing reduces the ongoing cost of constantly replenishing inventory.
