I'd like to inquire about warehouse receving non-compliance fees

Edited

A streamlined inbound receiving process allows our teams to be as efficient as possible throughout your product’s lifecycle, which is why receiving is free for all compliant inbound shipments excluding containers and FTL shipments.

However, non-compliance will result in fees.
