Facility info

Appointments mean little—expect 4-8+ hour waits even with early arrival Door assignments frequently delayed 2-5 hours after check-in Unloading speed varies wildly: 30 minutes to 7.5 hours depending on load size and facility staffing Paperwork processing is the real bottleneck—can take 1-5 hours after unload completes Mandatory lumper service with fees ($100-$673+ depending on load); drivers cannot self-unload Check-in process convoluted: multiple offices, multiple walks, forms to fill out Receiving hours limited to midnight-6am at some locations; day deliveries not accepted Early arrival often rejected—can't check in more than 1 hour before appointment No overnight parking available at facility Portable restrooms only (condition varies—some reported as dirty); indoor restrooms sometimes out of service No food/water available—bring your own Tight staging/parking areas; blind-side doors require careful maneuvering Security gate screening varies in friendliness and consistency Safety vest required by security (enforcement appears inconsistent) Staff attitudes range from friendly/professional to dismissive/curt High turnover suggests operational chaos Some reports of discriminatory treatment Facility is UNFI/Capstone operated—expect similar issues across their locations Best case scenario: 2-3 hours total. Plan for 8-15 hours minimum A few rare positive reviews mention fast unload (under 1 hour) and efficient checkout, but these are exceptions not the rule
