Amazon Dropship Vendors: Fraud Process 10/25/2007

Amazon Fraud Department

"Amazon Dropship vendors,

As we head into the holiday peak, we just want to remind you of our processes to handle fraudulent orders.

Please log into Dropship Central at dropship.amazon.com, and click on the Settings tab. Click on Warehouse, and then click on the Edit button next to your warehouse(s). Under Warehouse Contact Information, please verify that the Warehouse Fraud Email Alias and Warehouse Contact Phone are correct. This is the e-mail address/alias of the person or team that the Amazon Fraud Team can contact to request that an order be stopped prior to shipment. We request this be an e-mail alias of people who can most quickly stop the shipment, such as fraud@YourCompany.com.

All orders pass through Amazon fraud filters. However, if you suspect an order may be fraudulent, please contact Amazon's fraud department at suspect_shipments@amazon.com. If you do not receive a response to your e-mail, please ship the products on the latest carrier pull of the same day.

In the event that you receive an e-mail from Amazon?s fraud team, please follow the instructions in the e-mail and reply to all recipients with a status as quickly as possible. For fraud orders, vendors should make every effort to hold or cancel the orders. If you are able to stop the shipment, we ask that you reply-all to the e-mail request from Amazon alerting us of the status. We also ask that you send us the appropriate floor denial message to cancel the shipment in our system. You should be monitoring your fraud email alias 7 days a week to insure prompt follow up.

As usual, you can find this information in Dropship Central Help.

Thank you,
Amazon Dropship Team"

Amazon: Refusals and returns process 10/24/2007

"Amazon Dropshippers,

We have made a slight change to our returns and refusals process, so please review. In the past you have sent us an email, but in the future you should be submitting cases in Dropship Central to request that these returns be processed.

If a package is returned directly to your facility, which may happen inadvertently when a customer refuses a package or it is undeliverable, please take the following steps:

A. Contact the carrier and verify that they are aware all shipments refused or undeliverable should be taken to the return address on your Amazon packages (the Lexington, KY return address).

B. Notify Amazon of the return so that a credit can be issued back to the customer within 48 business hours. Create a new case in Drop Ship Central (login to Drop Ship Central and click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page).The Subject line should include your 4 letter warehouse code followed by a dash and the word ?Refusal?. (i.e. XXXX-Refusal). The topic you should choose is Questions About Reports, Metrics, or Business Related Questions.

The body of the message should include:
1. Date of refusal
2. Quantity refused
3. Amazon Shipment/Order ID (PO #)
4. Credit memo number (this is assigned by your company)
5. Credit memo dollar amount

Thank you,
Amazon Dropship team"

Burlington Coat Factory: INCREASED NEED FOR ASN's and UCC128 LABELS

"October 1, 2007

Dear Trading Partner:

Burlington Coat Factory continues to make significant changes to our supply chain. Beginning, February 2008, we are implementing a new warehouse management system (WMS). This overhaul of our supply chain software will result in higher levels of accuracy and substantially improved flow of your goods to our store floor. As you have experienced with most of your other trading partners, this new system relies on accurate ASN s and UCC128 labels from you in order to achieve this enhanced efficiency. Consequently, we will require ALL vendors to provide compliant EDI transactions and labels in the course of conducting business with Burlington Coat Factory. For a majority of our vendor partners, we do not anticipate any significant issues for you since this level of service is the norm for most of the retail world. For those of you who are not EDI compliant, there are two options: 1) Test with BCF to become EDI certified utilizing your own system (preferred). 2) Enroll on the BCF Gateway for a free solution on our system. With these two options at hand, fulfilling BCF requirements should be only a modest change in procedure and effort. For the 1000+ vendors who already fulfill orders to BCF with either traditional EDI or the BCF Gateway, no change in process will be required. We only ask that you continue your efforts to maximize ASN accuracy and correct UCC128 placement. We will expect 100% compliance from our vendors on or before January 1, 2008. If you have any general questions please contact vendor.relations@coat.com. Traditional EDI testing or BCF Gateway system setups can be initiated by sending an email to edi.support@coat.com.

Thank you for your strategic partnership and your ongoing support of BCF initiatives.
Jack Moore President of Merchandising, Marketing, Planning/Allocation Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation."
