Receiving Hours
By appointment (local time, Pacific Time)
Vehicle Requirements
- Active carrier profile and a confirmed Carrier Central appointment
- Dock-high, rear unloading at a standard bay (no side or ground-level unloading)
- Typical inbound equipment by appointment: 53' dry van trailers with Canadian highway tractors serving B.C., interprovincial, and cross-border lanes; 48' trailers or straight trucks may be accepted for specific regional deliveries where suitable
- Driver presents BOL/manifest, packing list, and appointment reference on arrival
- Compliance with on-site safety and yard rules: PPE where required, posted speed limits, backing and chocking procedures, use of designated staging / check-in areas, and instructions from yard marshals or security
Cargo Preparation
- Pallets: Standard 40" × 48" GMA wooden pallets, 4-way access, Grade B or better (≈ 1,000 mm × 1,200 mm), consistent with Amazon North America pallet guidelines for Canadian FCs
- Box & Pallet Labels:
- Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central (.ca)
- Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap with barcodes unobstructed and easily scannable
- Wrapping & Stability: Clear stretch wrap; stable, cubic loads with no overhang beyond pallet edges. Use corner boards, strapping, and layer pads where needed to keep loads secure and to protect cartons during transit and handling.
- Floor-Loaded / FCL: Follow Amazon’s North America Floor Loading Policy. Keep SKUs clearly segregated, maintain safe stack heights, and load cartons so that unloading and scanning are efficient. Non-compliant or poorly prepared floor-loads may be delayed, require rework at the shipper’s cost, or be refused at receiving.
- Slip Sheets:. Only where explicitly allowed by current Amazon Canada guidance and confirmed in the Carrier Central appointment notes. Where such confirmation is not available, plan for conventional palletized unloading at YXX2.
Leveraging EU Supply Chain Mastery to Finance Canadian Scaling
To effectively orchestrate a massive distribution rollout at a high-capacity Pacific hub like YXX2, your leadership requires absolute focus, backed by a highly profitable continental baseline. While your executive attention shifts toward dominating the Western Canadian market, FLEX. steps in as the dedicated engine for your European operations, transforming your regional supply chain into a powerful financial catalyst for transcontinental growth.
Securing a premium market position requires unlocking new levels of profitability within your existing operations. By utilizing our Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) infrastructure within the EU, you can capture elite European buyer segments and maximize sales velocity without surrendering your inventory to Amazon's crowded warehouses. This capability allows you to build a highly profitable, high-margin revenue stream that actively subsidizes the intense capital demands of your North American rollout, giving you the financial freedom to scale aggressively in Richmond.
Navigating international growth requires absolute certainty that your European stock never faces costly marketplace rejections. Our Amazon FBA prep services act as your uncompromising quality filter within the EU, rigorously auditing and configuring your inventory to meet strict automated intake protocols. By eliminating non-compliance fines and transit delays before they even occur, you ensure that the budget allocated for your cross-border expansion remains fully intact and continuously replenished by flawless European execution.
Expanding into new continents often requires holding significant buffer stock, but absorbing excessive warehousing fees in Europe is fundamentally inefficient. Our customized long-term storage solutions provide a highly secure, economically viable holding environment for your bulk European inventory. This strategic asset allows you to bypass Amazon's punishing overage penalties by injecting products into the active EU network precisely when consumer demand dictates, preserving the crucial liquidity needed to maintain high-capacity throughput at YXX2.
