CONTAINER UNLOADING

Container unloading and devanning for importers, with every carton counted and checked in

Container unloading

From container doors to sellable inventory

Concord Wholesale unloads ocean containers for brands and importers at our warehouses in California, close to the Port of Long Beach. Our team handles floor-loaded and palletized containers, sorts cartons by SKU, builds and wraps clean pallets, and checks everything in to our warehouse management system, so you know exactly what arrived.

Once a container is unloaded, your inventory can go straight into pallet storage, ship back out the same day through cross-docking and transloading, or feed your ecommerce fulfillment.

What's included

Every step of devanning, handled for you

Floor-loaded unloading

Loose cartons hand-unloaded, sorted by SKU and stacked onto pallets.

Palletized unloading

Pallets pulled from the container, inspected and restacked or rewrapped where needed.

Counts & inspection

Cartons counted against your packing list and ASN, with damaged cartons set aside.

Palletizing & wrapping

Stable, stretch-wrapped pallets built to your height and weight requirements.

Labeling

Carton, pallet and SKU labels applied when factory labels are missing or incorrect.

Photo reports

Photos of the seal, the load and any damage, plus a receiving report for your records and claims.

How it works

A simple, scheduled process

Send details

Share the container number, packing list and expected arrival date.

Book the dock

We schedule a dock appointment for your container.

Unload

Our team devans, counts, sorts, palletizes and labels the load.

Report

You get a receiving report and photos, and the inventory is live in our WMS.

Why it matters

Catch problems at the dock, not at the customer

Most inventory problems start at receiving: a short carton count, the wrong size or color packed in a master carton, or damage that nobody photographed. Careful unloading and check-in protect your inventory accuracy and give you what you need to file claims with your factory or carrier.
