As a small business owner, it can be hard to compete with larger companies with huge shipping and receiving departments. Often, you can afford to buy and have the market to sell an entire pallet of goods from a specific manufacturer, but don't have the staff or facilities to receive a larger shipment.
That's when you need a retail freight receiving service.
What is retail freight receiving?
It is using is a company that operates a warehouse and can accept shipments on your behalf. These companies will unload your pallet of goods, inspect it to assure you the quality you expect and then deliver the smaller packages of good to your store.
For retail business owners, working with a receiver can help save money in several ways:
First, when your pallets are offloaded at a retail receiver, you don't have to have a forklift and warehouse space for receiving at every store location.
Secondly, because you suddenly have the option of ordering in pallet-sized lots, you can order in larger quantities possibly earning a volume discount on pricing and almost definitely saving on shipping costs.
In essence, when you hire retail freight receiver you are saving yourself money and then can pass those savings on to your customers or enjoy a larger profit margin.
