Once your inventory is ready, the site will email you the pallet weights/dims so that you can provide this information to your carrier or to Flexport Freight. Please ensure that if you are using your own carrier that they schedule a pickup appointment with the site. If you are using Flexport Freight, we will handle scheduling the appointment!

You can also send this inventory to our crossdock using a Parcel Carrier (i.e. UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc). Please provide us with the labels for this outbound by reaching our support team and we will apply the labels and ensure that the carrier picks it up.
