SAKS DIRECT & FASHION FIX (www.saks.com) MERCHANDISE Saks Direct, saks.com or Fashion Fix vendor partners - Compliance requirements and responsibilities will remain consistent with the guidelines provided in this manual (with exception to ticket and hanger requirements outlined on pages 27) for all Saks Fifth Avenue locations. Our objective is to receive merchandise from our vendors ready to be processed, allowing the merchandise to move expeditiously through the pick/pack/ship process for direct shipment to Saks Direct customers. Saks Direct Fulfillment Center is store #689 and is located in the Saks Direct Distribution Center in Lavergne, Tennessee. Effective July 2, 2012, all shipments intended for Saks Direct / saks.com / Fashion Fix must be shipped to the new DC location exclusively for Saks Direct located in Lavergne, Tennessee. Please see page 64 for DC address. The store number will remain as 689. SAKS DIRECT & FASHION FIX – Photo Samples Matching Merchandise Shipped Delivering exactly what is advertised on Saks.com is paramount to servicing our customers and maintaining a quality shopping experience. Often it is a specific detail that entices the customer to purchase your product; a unique button, contrast stitching, a belt. As such, when the product in hand is even slightly different from the one seen on Saks.com, our customers return the product saying, “This is not what I ordered from Saks.com”. To set the standard, Saks expects advertising samples to be provided to the buying office as per the agreed specified date. If any change is made to the product, your company must immediately notify the Saks Direct buyer and supply him/her with a corrected sample. FASHION FIX SAMPLES All samples must be sent to the address listed below. ATTN: (BUYER NAME) FASHION FIX 34 WEST 24 TH STREET 8 TH FLOOR NEW YORK, NY 10010 SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SEWN-IN WOVEN LABELS Our Saks Fifth Avenue buyer will communicate to their vendor if SFA sewn-in woven labels are required. It is the vendor’s responsibility to obtain these labels. Do not ship without these labels. No substitute labels are allowed. Any deviation from these instructions will be assessed a handling charge against the vendor for extra handling or administrative expense incurred due to not using Saks Fifth Avenue labels. There is no formal placement guide for Full-Line merchandise. We expect vendors to adhere to Federal & State regulations as well as current industry standards. Please visit www.saksincorporated.com under “Vendor Relations” for samples and ordering information. FUR LABELING ACT Effective March 1, 2011 Saks will require that all fur and faux fur garments and accessories contain a label with the information required by the Fur Product Labeling Act (“Act”), regardless of the amount or value of the fur in each garment or of the manufacturer’s selling price. This new requirement applies to all fur and faux-fur garments and accessories (excluding footwear), which included Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s outerwear, accessories (such as scarves, shawls, and gloves), and hats. This means that the label on those products sold to Saks after March 1, 2011, must contain all of the required labeling elements of the Act, including but not limited to, the following: � For fur products, the animal name, in accordance with the Fur Products Name Guide � The country of origin for imported products (including the country of origin for imported furs made into fur products in the U.S.) � Even if the adjective form of the country name is used with the animal name, the origin must be added separately, preceded by the words “Fur Origin” (for example, “Fur Origin: Russia) 27 SFA Vendor Standards Manual 10-18-12.docx Saks Fifth Avenue Vendor Standards Manual
� For faux fur products, the words “faux fur” As stipulated in Saks Fifth Avenue’s Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, it is a vendor’s responsibility to learn and follow all applicable federal and state laws. Saks maintains the right to either a) keep and chargeback or b) return and chargeback mislabeled merchandise Beginning in the Fall of 2012, Saks will no longer accept Asiatic Raccoon fur garments and accessories if the fur is sourced from China. Saks will however, continue to accept Asiatic Raccoon fur garments and accessories if the fur is from Finland. Fur garments and accessories include Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s outerwear, scarves, shawls, gloves, and hats. HANGER REQUIREMENTS All merchandise that is to be presented hanging on the selling floor must be shipped to us with an approved Saks Fifth Avenue hanger inserted in each garment and then flat packed into conveyable cartons or in a hanger pack. Please refer to the General Packing and Shipping Instructions section. For our approved hanger manufacturers listing please visit www.saksincorporated.com under “Vendor Relations”. If merchandise is purchased in a store captive* department, it will be necessary to ship on a hanger to facilitate handling and stockroom storage.
