Every box/pallet that arrives at a Spaceful fulfillment centre must have a Warehouse Receiving Order (WRO) created in your Spaceful account or associated tracking number. WROs are essential for our team to identify shipments and accurately receive inventory.
Important note: All shipments must be delivered directly to our warehouse and all duties and taxes must be pre-paid. Spaceful will not retrieve shipments and postal offices or pay any duties or fees to release shipments.
When incoming shipments cannot be received within our usual turnaround time due to missing/inaccurate information we will hold the receiving process and move the boxes/pallets to an on-hold receiving status.
The creation of WRO is a required process and allows our operations team to know exactly what SKUs and quantities are expected to arrive. WROs must be created 48 hours in advance of the reception of your inventory.
Note: Products must have dimensions and weights entered before creating a WRO.

Alternatively, you may send the receiving slip directly to your manufacturer by including the manufacturer name, email and purchase order # in order to have the receiving slip added to your inventory before shipment.
Note: Receiving orders that arrive at the warehouse without the mandatory receiving slip may be refused or incur daily on-hold receiving fees along with processing delays.
