Amazon: Holiday promise ship methods

"Amazon dropship vendors:

Thank you for your hard work so far this peak season. We have some additional ship method clarification for you to ensure your holiday promise orders reach our customers by December 24. Please view your languishing order report in Dropship Central (https://dropship.amazon.com/) to see which of your outstanding orders have the Holiday Promise Flag set to Yes and have therefore been promised to deliver no later than December 24.

- Today is the cut-off for standard ship methods. All holiday orders shipping by standard methods must ship today, Wednesday 12/19.
- Thursday 12/20 is the last shipping day for 2-Day ship methods. All 2-Day holiday promise orders must ship by Thursday, and all standard holiday promise orders shipping on Thursday must be upgraded to a 2-day ship method, regardless of the ship method Amazon messaged to you. Any resulting ship method mismatches will be waived.
- Friday 12/21 is the last shipping day for Next Day ship methods. All Next day holiday promise orders must ship by Friday, and all standard and 2-day holiday promise orders shipping on Friday must be upgraded to a next day ship method, regardless of the ship method Amazon messaged to you. Any resulting ship method mismatches will be waived.

If you have any questions please submit a case in Drop Ship Central.

Thank you,
Amazon.com Dropship team"

Nordstrom Direct Requirements Reminder

"Dear Nordstrom Supplier,

This letter serves as a reminder of our upcoming changes for Nordstrom Direct.

Effective January 1, 2008 Advance Ship Notice (EDI 856) and related GS1-128 carton label will be required for Nordstrom Direct shipments. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in expense offset fees.

Effective February 1, 2008, Nordstrom will implement revised expense offset fees for Nordstrom Direct purchase order violations. These will apply to all shipments sent to DC 599 for Store 808 on or after February 1st.

A Purchase Order (PO) violation expense offset fee will be issued when one or more of the following errors are identified:
•Error type "SNOPO": The shipment included UPCs that were not valid in our system at the time of DC receipt.
•Error type "Exceeds PO": The shipment included units in excess of what was ordered.
•Error type "Distro Error": The shipment included units for stores which were not allocated according to the PO.

Your company's compliance with our EDI requirements and related industry standard guidelines will serve to expedite the transfer of merchandise, resulting in improved customer service, more rapid payment to your company, and potential increases in sales. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to your successful implementation of these requirements.
