Shaw's Wells Distribution Center

Facility info

Wait times brutal: 5-8 hours typical, often 10+. Many arrive early and still wait hours after appointment time. Lumper fees $300–$510 mandatory. Staff slow at counting/palletizing during unload. Accept cash, Comchek, Tcheck, EFS only — ATM onsite at door #1. Drop and hook available but inconsistent. Most loads are live unload with significant delays. No bathrooms inside facility — only 2 portable toilets. Bring food; you will be here a long time. Limited parking: roadside/street parking only, no dedicated lot. Overnight parking available on nearby driveway/roadside. Staff polite and professional, but operational slowness makes this irrelevant. Strict on appointment times — arriving 20+ minutes late = rescheduled 3–7 days out. Occasionally takes early arrivals if capacity allows. Bottom line: Avoid if possible. This is a time sink that will blow schedules and cost money. Only acceptable if resetting hours or broker absorbs lumper fee.
