Amazon Dropship: Thanksgiving Shipping Expectations

"Dropship Partners,

This Thursday is Thanksgiving. We want to reinforce our shipping performance expectations around the holiday. You should plan to completely clear out your backlog on Wednesday, November 26th. This will allow you some additional capacity to respond quickly to the new orders you receive during your holiday closure.

If you are only closed on Thursday, November 27th, plan to ship all of your Thursday orders and as many of your Friday orders as possible on Friday. Please staff accordingly before and after the holiday.

If you are closed on both November 27th and 28th, it is absolutely critical that you clear out your backlog on Wednesday November 26th. Then you can expect to have four full days of backlog to ship out on Monday, December 1st. Please staff accordingly before and after the holiday.

Also keep in mind that you should expect increased holiday shopping volumes.


Thank You,

The Amazon Dropship Team"

We also ask that you refrain from moving/adding warehouses until after the peak season.

Circuit City EDI - New Vendor Number Update

"Dear Valued Circuit City Stores, Inc. Supplier:

We are in the process of transitioning your existing account to a Debtor-In-Possession (DIP) account. We needed to create new (DIP) Circuit City Vendor # to replace the existing Circuit City vendor number. The DIP Vendor Number is effective immediately: Existing # Dip Ven # 004144 071115 Because of the magnitude of the quantity of vendor number changes, the urgency with which this needs to be accomplished, and the limited resources available, we are creating cross reference tables to point the new Circuit City vendor numbers to the existing EDI Partner Profile sender / receiver ID's. EDI ADDRESSES (ISA AND GS ID'S) WILL NOT CHANGE IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the proper six digit vendor number is populated in the REF*IA segments on inbound documents to Circuit City. The guideline to use for the EDI 810 invoices and 856 ASN's, is that the vendor number must match what was sent in the N9*IA segment on the EDI 850 purchase order.

TRU: IMPORTANT: Item Verification Process non-compliance fee

"Dear Vendor,

On August 3, 2008, we instated a requirement for a full production carton to be provided to a Toys “R” Us Item Verification Center for every new item purchased. Thank you to those who have supported this requirement. However, we’ve become increasingly aware of vendors circumventing or not following the process.

As a result, effective Monday, November 17th, 2008, we are instituting a $250 chargeback for non-compliance to our standards when one of these criteria are met.

1. Samples not available at Item Verification Center before arrival at DCs
2. Samples shipped to Item Verification Center before PO is created for item
3. Shipping less than a full carton of product for verification
4. Not clearly identifying the sample according to Toys “R” Us guidelines (see below)

As a reminder the policy for the Item Verification Process is included below for your review.


ITEM VERIFICATION POLICY

Upon receipt of a purchase order for an item set up on, or after, August 3, 2008, one carton of production samples must be sent at the vendor’s expense to either one of the Toys “R” Us Item Verification Centers. Your company will be notified via email through the Vendor Extranet’s subscription service once an item meets the criteria for sample submission. Once notified you are expected to ship the sample as soon as it is available and before the merchandise ships to the distribution centers.

The carton MUST be labeled with a minimum 3 inch X 5 inch fluorescent pink label with 'Item Verification Sample' printed on the label in English.

If the carton of product is to be returned to the vendor from the U.S. Item Verification Center, a prepaid shipping label must be provided in the packing list envelope on the sample carton. The carton will be processed and shipped within three business days. Any carton received without a prepaid shipping label will be disposed at the discretion of Toys 'R' Us.

If the carton of product is to be returned to vendor from the Shenzhen facility, the vendor must arrange to have the item picked up, at the vendor’s expense, from the PACCESS office no later than 10 business days following item verification. The carton must be labeled with a 3 inch x 5 inch white label that states “PLEASE RETURN.” If the carton is not marked, or if it is marked, but not picked up within 10 business days following item verification, the item will be disposed at the discretion of Toys “R” Us.

NEW REQUIREMENT – The Toys “R” Us item number must be included on the packing list sent with the shipment to speed up item identification.

For questions about this process, please contact Item@toysrus.com.

Nordstrom Supplier: Forward to your Logistic/Transportation Departments

"Dear Nordstrom Supplier,

Effective November 24, 2008 Nordstrom will be transitioning its Small Package Carrier from DHL to UPS.

Please continue shipping small package via DHL through Friday, November 21, 2008.
Do not tender any collect shipments for Nordstrom to DHL on or after Monday, November 24, 2008.

Advance Ship Notice Requirements (EDI 856) for UPS shipments:
Nordstrom requires one VICS 856 ASN per carton for all UPS shipments.
The tracking number provided by UPS must populate the sub-bill of lading field (REF*BM segment) and the PRO number field (REF*CN segment).
The ASN must be transmitted and received by Nordstrom's warehouse management system prior to the shipment's arrival in the distribution center.
Please reference the EDI Version 4010 PDF Document for mapping details.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in non-compliant expense offset fees.

For additional information please refer to our Supplier Compliance Manual and Routing Guide at http://www.nordstromsupplier.com/.

If you have questions or need assistance making this Small Package Carrier change please contact Transportation at traffic@Nordstrom.com or by phone at 1-877-444-1313, select option 4, then 1.

Sincerely,

Loren Vandenberghe
Director of Transportation
Nordstrom Inc."

Toys R Us: CLARIFICATION: ASN Integrity Program Enhancements

"Dear Vendor,

We appreciate your quick response to the recent communications about our enhancements to ASN notifications and compliance requirements. Based on the volume of responses and questions, we want to clarify a couple points.

1. The ASN Error Notifications, explained as ‘ENHANCEMENT 2’, were developed to provide you with an early warning for data we’ve detected to be out of alignment with our expectations. Notifications are only advanced warnings of things that will fail if not addressed. ASN Error Notifications will not automatically generate infractions, as misstated in our communication.

However, failure to correct errors for Master Pack and Inner Pack, and retransmit the corrected ASN before the receipt, will result in an ‘ASN VARIANCE’ infraction upon receipt at the DC.

2. We have temporarily suppressed two of the recently introduced notifications – ETA and Ship From Zip Code. While these segments provide valuable confirmation that you understand our delivery window and are shipping from the expected location, we will suppress them until we can elaborate on the method in which they are to be used. These notifications will be reinstated early in 2009.

Thank you for your continued attention to these details. As always, we appreciate your support.


Regards,

Tim Meester Director, Vendor Partnership Toys "R" Us Babies "R" Us Rus.com"

To support compliance with this provision of the CPSIA, Toys “R” Us requires that each vendor provide a copy of the General Conformity Certification to the relevant email address below, prior to each shipment.
E-mail Address for Direct Import and Port of Entry shipments:

E-mail Address for Domestic, Drop-Ship, and Direct-to-Store shipments:

In addition to what is required by the CPSIA (the text of the CPSIA and other relevant information is available at http://www.cpsc.gov/), each General Conformity Certification provided to Toys “R” Us must include all of the following:
Toys “R” Us SKN number(s)
UPC number(s)
Toys “R” Us purchase order number(s)
When emailing the certificates please note that vendor name and Toys “R” Us SKN number(s) must appear in the subject line of all e-mails.

"Dear Vendor,

We are pleased to announce the addition of our Asia Item Verification Center, located in Shenzhen, China. Effective November 10, your production carton samples may be shipped to the following address for verification of dimensions, weights, and other physical attributes:

Toys ‘R’ Us Asia Item Verification Center
PACCESS International Trading (Shenzhen) Ltd.
2nd floor
North Changxing Building
4002 Huaqiang Road North
Futian District
Shenzhen 518028, PRC

Attention: Ada Jiang
Technical Services CSR

O: +86-755-82075332
+86-755-83597960-2154
M: +86-13602667246
F: +86-755-83594397

This location is an alternative choice for this process. If desired, you may continue to ship samples for verification to the existing U.S. Item Verification Center:

Toys 'R' Us Item Verification Center
2829 Rohr Road
Groveport, OH 43125

Updated Policy:
Upon receipt of a purchase order for an item set up on, or after, August 3, 2008, a production sample must be sent at the vendor’s expense to either one of the Toys “R” Us Item Verification Centers. The Asia Item Verification Center will begin accepting items for verification on November 10, 2008.

The carton MUST be labeled with a minimum 3 inch X 5 inch fluorescent pink label with 'Item Verification Sample' printed on the label in English.

If the carton of product is to be returned to the vendor from the U.S. Item Verification Center, a prepaid shipping label must be provided in the packing list envelope on the sample carton. The carton will be processed and shipped within three business days. Any carton received without a prepaid shipping label will be disposed at the discretion of Toys 'R' Us.

If the carton of product is to be returned to vendor from the Shenzhen facility, the vendor must arrange to have the item picked up, at the vendor’s expense, from the PACCESS office no later than 10 business days following item verification. The carton must be labeled with a 3 inch x 5 inch white label that states “PLEASE RETURN.” If the carton is not marked, or if it is marked, but not picked up within 10 business days following item verification, the item will be disposed at the discretion of Toys “R” Us.

For questions about this process, please contact Item@toysrus.com.

Vendor Support
