‘Sup Guys?! As most of you know we get at least one container full of our wonderful products delivered each month straight from TEIN Headquarters in Japan. We have had as many as three containers come in just one month alone. That’s a lot of product! We received this month’s container this past Friday, July 20, 2012 and man, was it hot!
Luckily our dock does have some shade from the sun, for the most part. So it helps the container stay way cooler than if the sun would hit it directly.
Here we have Jon (also known as “THE FOOT”) posing for the picture. Jon works in a different department here at TEIN but still gives us a hand from time to time.
The pictures above and below show our warehouse aisles right before we start unloading the container but as the day goes on, the aisles get more and more crowded with product..
Once the container is safely unloaded our job is not yet completely finished. During and after the offload process we use a product scanner to track the product quantities being received on the container. We then download this data onto a PC using our proprietary software to detail all items scanned. This is then checked with the order list to make sure we received the right quantity as we ordered. If everything checks out fine, we are finally done! We tend to ship most of these newly received items right back out to our dealers well before we get to restock our shelves. Only after we fulfill customer orders can we then put away some remaining items and get our warehouse cleaned in time for the next inbound shipment from Japan!
