Stocking Services
Inventory on the shelf beats inventory on order
SHAPES Unlimited, Inc. is your full-service wholesale manufacturer and distributor of aluminum products. As a stocking distributor, we keep deep inventory of aluminum fence, gate, handrail, PrimeAlux and window screen components on hand, so dealers and installers can pull from stock instead of waiting on a production run, however this can happen.
With over 30,000 SKUs in our North Jackson warehouse, most orders are confirmed within 24 hours and ship within 5-7 business days. Buying inventory in volume from diversified sources also lets us pass competitive pricing on to our customers.
For customers who need guaranteed availability beyond what general stock provides, we also offer custom stocking programs. A Master Supply Agreement reserves your specific inventory in our warehouse for a set period, so it’s ready the moment you need it.

What is a custom stocking program, and who is it for?
A custom stocking program is a Master Supply Agreement (MSA) where we reserve your specific inventory in our warehouse for a set period, guaranteeing availability for long-term or short-term needs. This fits dealers and distributors with both smaller or more varied ordering patterns across many product lines, as well as high volume orders on a small number of SKUs. Contact our customer service team to discuss whether a stocking agreement fits your ordering pattern.
How is stocking distribution different from your transportation management program?
Stocking distribution pulls from our general inventory in both small and larger batch varied batches to match your ordering pattern across product lines. Transportation management is built for dealers with high, consistent demand on a small number of SKUs who want full container pricing. Contact our customer service team to help determine the right fit for your volume.
