20-Foot Container

Included in the service of receiving & handling a floor loaded 20-foot container is devanning and stowing the inventory. All incoming containers must make an arrival appointment for when their container is to be delivered. The reason for this is to allow the warehouse team to schedule arrivals with ample time for unloading. This service will be applied along with the case handling service by the number of cases your container shipment includes. Example, if your shipment arrives in a 20 foot container with 200 cases, the receiving services would be evaluated based on receiving the 20 foot container and handling 200 cases. The next service to consider is if your shipment qualifies for non-standard receiving.

40-Foot Container

Included in the service of receiving & handling a floor loaded 40-foot container is devanning and stowing the inventory. All incoming containers must make an arrival appointment for when their container is to be delivered. The reason for this is to allow the warehouse team to schedule arrivals with ample time for unloading. This service will be applied along with the case handling service by the number of cases your container shipment includes. For example, if your shipment arrives in a 40-foot container with 350 cases, the receiving service would be evaluated based on receiving the 40-foot container and handling 350 cases. The next service to consider is if your shipment qualifies for non-standard receiving.

45-Foot Container

Included in the service of receiving & handling a floor loaded 45-foot container is devanning and stowing the inventory. All incoming containers must make an arrival appointment for when their container is to be delivered. The reason for this is to allow the warehouse team to schedule arrivals with ample time for unloading. This service will be applied along with the case handling service by the number of cases your container shipment includes. For example, if your shipment arrives in a 45-foot container with 450 cases, the receiving service would be evaluated based on receiving the 45-foot container and handling 450 cases. The next service to consider is if your shipment qualifies for non-standard receiving.

Standard LTL

Standard unloading of an incoming LTL shipment entails unloading each pallet by forklift/ pallet jack and stow inventory. A standard LTL means a shipment that is organized with one SKU per pallet. This service will be applied along with a case handling service charge by the number of cases in your LTL shipment. For example, if your shipment arrives on 2 pallets with 8 cases on each pallet, the service would be evaluated based on 2 received pallets and 16 cases handled. The next service to consider is if your shipment qualifies for non-standard receiving.

Mixed LTL shipment

Mixed LTL means that a shipment is unorganized and has multiple SKUs per pallet. Receiving a mixed LTL shipment entails unloading each pallet by forklift/ pallet jack and sorting the mixed pallets, repalletize them by SKU, and then receive and stow the shipment. This service will be applied along with the case handling service charge by the number of cases in your LTL shipment with an additional charge for repalletization. For example, if your shipment arrives on 4 pallets with 10 cases on each pallet, the service would be evaluated based on 4 received mixed LTL pallets, 40 cases handled and repalletizing 4 pallets. The next service to consider is if your shipment qualifies for non-standard receiving.

1-40 cases

The case handling service includes receiving cases, initial outer inspection, stowing, pulling for shipment, labeling cases for LTL and SPD, loading, and forwarding shipment on pallets or SPD. This service is applied to all incoming shipments along with the corresponding unloading service for your inbound shipping method. For example, if your shipment arrives through LTL on three pallets and it includes 35 cases, the receiving will be evaluated based on the LTL service and the 35 cases.

41-80 cases

The case handling service includes receiving cases, initial outer inspection, stowing, pulling for shipment, labeling cases for LTL and SPD, loading, and forwarding shipment on pallets or SPD. This service is applied to all incoming shipments along with the corresponding unloading service for your inbound shipping method. For example, if your shipment arrives by a 20-foot container and it includes 55 cases, the receiving will be evaluated based on the container load and the 55 cases.

81-120 cases

The case handling service includes receiving cases, initial outer inspection, stowing, pulling for shipment, labeling cases for LTL and SPD, loading, and forwarding shipment on pallets or SPD. This service is applied to all incoming shipments along with the corresponding unloading service for your inbound shipping method. For example, if your shipment arrives by a 40-foot container and it includes 90 cases, the receiving will be evaluated based on the container load and the 90 cases.

120+ cases

The case handling service includes receiving cases, initial outer inspection, stowing, pulling for shipment, labeling cases for LTL and SPD, loading, and forwarding shipment on pallets or SPD. This service is applied to all incoming shipments along with the corresponding unloading service for your inbound shipping method. For example, if your shipment arrives by a 40-foot container and it includes 125 cases, the receiving will be evaluated based on the container load and the 125 cases.

Odd-shaped – case handling

The odd-shaped case handling is coupled with the odd-shaped unloading services and will be evaluated per product/case handled. Most odd-shaped shipments arrive with un-boxed products and can, therefore, be evaluated by the case or by quote. (1 unit per case items fall into this category). For example, if your shipment arrives by a 20-foot container and it includes 24 rolled-up rugs that are too large to fit on a pallet, the receiving will be evaluated by odd-shaped receiving and odd-shaped case handling.

Mixed SKU container

The mixed SKU sorting service is applied to arriving containers, palletized or floor loaded, that are unorganized and contain multiple SKU’s. If a shipment arrives with mixed SKUs’, the River Source Logistics team must unload and sort each case by SKU before stowing. This service is evaluated on an hourly basis of excess unloading time.

Heavy lifting

Heavy case lifting fee is applied to arriving cases weighing more than 50 lbs. Each case that is overweight will require team lifting for the safety of our personnel. This service is quoted on a per overweight case basis.

Re-palletizing

This service is applied to shipments arriving at River Source Logistics on non-compliant pallets. The service includes re-palletizing your cases from the original non-compliant/broken pallet onto a River Source logistics 4-way pallet and stowing the inventory. This service is also applied to Mixed LTL shipments where our team must sort and repalletize your shipment prior to receiving and stowing. If the shipment is forwarded to FBA on our pallets, the forwarding pallet charge will be applied as well.

Large SPD shipments

Large floor loaded SPD shipments, with 50 cases or more, will need additional servicing because the large quantity will increase unloading time. If your shipment is this large, we recommend shipping it palletized through a container load instead of SPD. This service will be quoted per foot of truck space the shipment occupies.

Case Inspection

The case inspection is performed during receiving. During the case inspection, our team will open one case at random to briefly inspect the overall status and content of the case. If issues are found, such as damaged units, incorrect labeling or non-consistent content, we offer the option to request a more detailed inspection of all units which would fall under the unit handling service.

Forwarding pallet

Forwarding pallet is the cost of sending your shipment outbound on a River Source logistics’ 4-way pallets. This is applied if your shipment didn’t arrive on pallets and is being sent out LTL, or if your shipment arrived on non-compliant pallets and is being sent out LTL, or if your inbound shipment arrived on compliant 4-way pallets but required a pallet exchange and is being sent out LTL.

Forwarding Shrink Wrap

Shrink wrapping your pallets to be shipped outbound. All pallets leaving for FBA must be shrink wrapped in order to be FBA compliant. Included in this charge is the wrapping of the pallet and the materials to shrink wrap the pallet.

Monthly Storage

The monthly inventory storage fee is calculated by the total cubic feet your product takes up in the warehouse per month. Our WMS system aggregates that data through backend algorithms and processes the total amount owed per the set date range. Monthly inventory storage fees typically are charged between the 1st and 15th day of the month following the month for which the fee applies. For example, to see your inventory storage fee for January you would refer to the February payments report for transactions from February 1-15.
