About Incoming Shipments


Central Receiving will accept all authorized shipments delivered to us. The packing slip/freight bills are checked for accurate address, carton count, and the overall condition of the shipment. All shipments are checked for overages or shortages.

Shipments may be refused if damaged or if not adequately contained for internal handling and forwarding. If a shipment exceeds the limitations of our vehicles we may request the delivery to be made directly.
