GENERAL PACKING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS To expedite your merchandise through our distribution centers, please follow these listed guidelines. Merchandise not shipped according to these specifications can experience delays in processing and loss of time on the selling floor. • A shipment must: • Arrive pre-distributed unless the buyer has obtained bulk (post-distributed) approval from SFA Vendor Relations. • Pre-distributed = One purchase order, packed by individual store location • Post-distributed = Packed by style/color/size • Have cartons containing merchandise for a single purchase order. Multiple purchase orders CAN NOT be mixed or packed in a single carton. • Be in compliance with our floor ready standards • Follow our purchase order specifications outlined at placement • Be sent to the address on the purchase order. • You are encouraged to use recyclable, ecologically safe packing materials whenever possible. Use packing materials to protect your product in transit so that it is received in saleable condition. (See WRINKLE PREVENTION.) However, we do not want you to be excessive with these materials (such as pins and tissue) and waste resources. This also increases processing time. • Pack your merchandise in such a manner as to prevent concealed loss or damage in transit. • Damaged merchandise may not be replaced without Buyer approval. • Concealed damages or shortages where there is no visible damage or tampering with the package, will be charged back to your company. • Saks Direct or saks.com vendor partners - Compliance requirements and responsibilities will remain consistent with the guidelines provided in this manual 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. • For Direct to Store shipments, please refer to the “Direct to Store” section of this manual. • Do not seed hangers (i.e lay flat on merchandise) in the shipping carton. Merchandise requiring hangers must have hangers inserted into the garment itself. • Effective Jan 1, 2011, Saks Fifth Avenue no longer considers GOH shipments an acceptable practice of receiving merchandise. To note, GOH (Garment on Hanger) is a method of shipping merchandise between destination points WITHOUT using cartons or carton hanger packs. GOH merchandise is shipped in special trucks that usually have a trolley or rope system on which the individual, loose items are hung. • Custom or special orders should be labeled on the outside of the carton with the words or a label stating “SPECIAL ORDER.” • If you ship to both Saks Fifth Avenue DC “ship to” locations, you should ensure that you are shipping the correct stores to the correct DC locations. Separate Bills of Lading and ASNs should be prepared by DC location. (Refer to http://www.saksincorporated.com under “Vendor Relations” for the store locations assigned to each DC and our Corporate Shipping and Routing Instructions.)
