This article explains how to request container unloading for Flexport E-commerce inbounds.
If you are inbounding a floor loaded container (FLC), you need to request container unloading so that your container can be processed in a timely and efficient manner. When creating your inbound, you will see a Palletized vs. Floor loaded option when you are creating your shipment under Add Shipment Details.
If you choose Floor loaded, you will be asked to select your floor load size (20' or 40') and your container ID. Your container ID is critical to helping Flexport identify and process your container efficiently, so please provide this information if it is available.
The cost to unload each container is:
- 20' floor load - $325 / container
- 40' floor load - $650 / container
Once this is done and you have completed your shipment, Flexport will be ready to process and unload your container as soon as it arrives! Container unloading charges will appear on your next invoice.
