Transporting of inventory items includes moving a mobile drive unit to a first point while the mobile drive unit is docked with an inventory holder. A location of the inventory holder is determined while the mobile drive unit is docked with the inventory holder. A difference between the location of the inventory holder and the first point is calculated and the difference is examined to determine if it is greater than a predetermined tolerance. If the difference is less than the predetermined tolerance, then the mobile drive unit is undocked. If the difference is greater than the predetermined tolerance, then the mobile drive unit is moved to a second point based on the location of the inventory holder and the mobile drive unit is undocked with the inventory holder.
