Irvington, NJ · Minutes from Port Newark & ElizabethContainer to customer.
Container to customer.
One partner.
We pull your box off the pier, strip it, store it, pick it, and put it on a truck to anywhere in the 48 states — whether that's 10,000 parcels to consumers or 22 pallets to a distribution center. No handoffs between four vendors. No finger-pointing.

Be our agent's agent. We act as your US destination partner at the Port of NY/NJ — LCL deconsolidation, FCL devanning, on-carriage to any US address, and a named contact who answers in your time zone.
LCL deconsolidationPer-house-bill reportingOn-carriage, 48 states
Clean handoffs after release. Tell us the entry number and we take it from the terminal — including exam site runs, CES coordination and hold-until-cleared storage — then deliver to your client without you chasing a trucker.
Exam & hold supportPer diem watched dailyPOD back same day
Your container lands and your listings stay in stock. We devan, prep to Amazon spec, forward to FCs, and ship your DTC orders from the same building — so you're not paying to move inventory between three providers.
FBA prep & FC forwardingShopify / Walmart / TikTokReturns processing
One invoice from pier to purchase order. Drayage, devan, storage, retail ticketing and the outbound truck to your buyer's DC — run by people who spent 25 years importing and selling this stuff themselves.

We pull the box before it starts costing you money
Port Newark and Port Elizabeth are a short run from our dock. We watch availability, LFD and per diem daily, book the appointment, and get the container onto our yard — so demurrage and detention don't quietly eat the margin on the shipment.

Floor-loaded container in. Clean, countable pallets out.
Hand-unload of floor-loaded freight, piece counts against your packing list, damage and shortage documented with photos, then restacked to pallets, re-wrapped and labeled. If it's going straight back out, it never touches a rack — we cross-dock it to a waiting trailer the same day.

Space that flexes with your season, not a 3-year lease
Racked pallet positions, bulk floor space and secure segregated areas in a 75,000+ sq ft building. Take space for one container or for a year. Dry consumer goods, general merchandise and dry non-perishable food-grade product — monitored, insured and inventoried.

The fiddly work that gets shipments rejected
FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging, bundling, suffocation warnings, carton marks, expiry handling — done to current Amazon spec so your shipment isn't refused at the FC. For retail: price ticketing, UCC-128 labels, hangers, and the specific nonsense in each department store's routing guide.

Ten thousand parcels or twenty-two pallets. Same building.
Orders flow in from Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, eBay and Etsy — or from an EDI purchase order. We pick, pack, apply the right carrier label and get it on the truck. Same-day cutoff on in-stock orders, and returns received, inspected and restocked rather than piled in a corner.

Nationwide reach
We start at the pier. We don't stop at the state line.
A lot of port warehouses will happily strip your container and then hand you a phone number for a trucking company. We'd rather just deliver it. Dedicated trailers, truckload, LTL and final-mile — to a distribution center in Dallas, a retail door in Chicago, or a front porch in Phoenix.

Why partners stay
We were your customer before we were your 3PL
PrimePort is second-generation, family-run, and built by people who spent 25 years importing and selling product — getting containers stuck, eating chargebacks, waiting on warehouses that wouldn't pick up the phone. We built the warehouse we always wished we had.
- A person, not a ticket queueYou get a named account contact who knows your freight and answers the phone.
- Exceptions surfaced, not buriedShort count, damage, a hold at the terminal — you hear it from us the same day, with photos.
- Small enough to say yesOdd-size freight, a rush rework, a Saturday devan — we can make the call without a committee.
- Pricing that reads like a priceLine items you can tie back to a container, not a 14-page tariff designed to confuse you.

Straight answers
The questions we actually get asked
Can you act as our US destination agent?
Yes — that's a large part of what we do for overseas forwarders and NVOCCs. We receive your FCL or LCL at the Port of NY/NJ, deconsolidate against your house bills, report back per house bill, and arrange on-carriage anywhere in the United States. You keep the customer relationship; we're the hands on the ground.
Do you take one-off containers, or only ongoing contracts?
Both. Plenty of relationships here started as one overflow container someone needed handled in a hurry. There's no minimum volume to get a rate, and no long-term contract required to run a trial shipment.
What happens if my container gets held or flagged for exam?
We handle the exam-site and CES runs and keep you posted on status. We also watch your last free day and per diem clock so the hold doesn't quietly turn into four figures of demurrage while everyone waits for an update.
Can you ship to Amazon FCs and to my own customers from the same stock?
Yes. One inventory pool in one building feeds FBA replenishment, FBM and DTC orders, and wholesale pallets. That's the main reason sellers move here from a prep-center-plus-separate-3PL arrangement — you stop paying to shuttle your own goods between buildings.
What can't you handle?
We're a dry facility. We handle dry consumer goods, general merchandise, apparel, home goods, electronics and dry non-perishable food-grade product. We don't do refrigerated or frozen, and we'll tell you straight away if something is outside what we should be touching rather than taking it and figuring it out later.
How fast do you turn a container?
For scheduled containers we aim to strip and process same-day on arrival, and we'll commit to a turn time in writing when we quote your program. Give us the booking details in advance and the container is unloaded, counted and reported before the chassis would otherwise still be sitting.
Where exactly are you, and how close is that to the terminals?
460 Coit Street, Irvington, NJ 07111 — 6.6 miles from the Port Newark–Elizabeth terminals, 4.7 from Newark Liberty (EWR) air cargo, and 4.5 from NJ Turnpike Exit 14, so outbound freight is on I-78 or I-95 within minutes of leaving our dock.
Send us one container. We'll earn the rest.
Tell us what's on the water and where it needs to end up. You'll have line-item pricing back within one business day — and a straight answer about whether we're the right fit.
