Our Container Unloading Process
When your container arrives at our Vernon, CA dock, our team executes a proven receiving workflow designed for speed and accuracy. We photograph the container seal, verify documentation, unload all cartons, count and verify against the packing list, palletize product according to your specifications, label and shrink-wrap pallets, and check everything into our WMS with SKU-level detail. Inventory availability is confirmed after receiving and inventory checks are complete. Outbound schedules depend on the agreed handling scope and operating conditions.
Many clients also pair this with Container Unloading Services, Container Unloading Long Beach Port, and Devanning Services Long Beach.
Palletizing & Shrink-Wrapping
Cartons are palletized to standard or custom configurations, shrink-wrapped for stability, and labeled for warehouse storage. Proper palletizing protects your products and enables efficient warehouse operations.
Receiving & Inventory Check-In
Every inbound shipment is counted, verified against purchase orders and packing lists, and checked into our WMS at the SKU level. Discrepancies are documented and reported immediately so you can file claims quickly.
Transloading & Cross-Docking
For shipments that need to move quickly, we offer transloading directly from ocean containers to outbound trucks, bypassing warehouse storage entirely. Ideal for time-sensitive or pre-sold inventory.
Drayage Coordination
We coordinate container drayage from the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles to our Vernon warehouse, managing appointments, chassis logistics, and driver scheduling to ensure smooth container flow.
Container Return Management
After unloading, we manage empty container return to the appropriate terminal or depot, helping you avoid costly per diem charges and ensuring containers are returned within the free-time window.
Planning Container Receiving and Storage
Service scope
Container receiving includes unloading dry ocean-container cargo, counting cartons or pallets, documenting discrepancies, palletizing where needed, and recording accepted inventory for storage or onward shipping.
Suitable products and shipments
Suitable for floor-loaded cartons and palletized dry goods in 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Share heavy, oversized, fragile, or mixed-SKU loads in advance so handling requirements can be reviewed.
Operating process
Send the arrival notice, bill of lading, and packing list. Coordinate release and a dock appointment with the team, then unload, verify quantities, document discrepancies, and arrange storage, transloading, or outbound shipment as agreed.
Restrictions and scheduling
We do not accept hazardous, flammable, refrigerated, or frozen cargo. Customs clearance remains with your appointed broker. Terminal release, driver availability, free-time deadlines, and receiving appointments affect timing; no universal same-day completion or demurrage saving is promised.

We provide this documentation immediately so you can file freight claims or communicate with suppliers. Our WMS records exactly what was received versus what was expected.
