What We Run Out of Valencia
Alvy runs one warehouse — 53,000 square feet in Valencia, California — and your inventory sits in it, racked or floor-stacked, handled by our own team. Nothing is scattered across a network of subcontracted sites you will never see. For shippers moving high-value goods, that is the whole argument: one building you can walk, one team you can hold accountable, and no third party in the middle.
