DOMESTIC SHIPPING AND SCHEDULING

Transcription

1 DOMESTIC SHIPPING AND SCHEDULING Standard Vendor Conditions These rules apply to all shipments and must be used whenever your company is shipping products to any Burlington Coat Factory location. General Requirements: All merchandise should be shipped at class 77.5 (see item sub 4 of the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) 100-Z and subsequent revisions). If articles are subject to density rating, indicate the density in pounds per cubic foot for each commodity. Visit the NMFC Web site for more information. A properly executed Bill of Lading (BOL) must be included. Canadian vendors click here for additional import standards. Freight Terms: BCF standard freight terms for all shipments to DCs are FOB destination, freight prepaid. All exceptions must be in writing on the BCF PO. BCF only accepts ownership of shipped goods after receipt of the PO, not at the gate. If the BCF PO freight terms state that BCF is responsible for any portion of the freight cost, the vendor must submit a routing request through BCF Routing. BCF reserves the right to require non-compliant prepaid vendors to use BCF preferred carriers to ship merchandise. Freight Costs and Fees: All freight costs relating to shipments of sample merchandise is at the vendors expense. BCF will not pay for any freight cost related to the shipment of sample merchandise. BCF will not be responsible for duty and brokerage fees that were not authorized on the BCF PO. BCF will not be responsible for accessorial charges when a vendor utilizes their own truck(s). If BCF assumes any portion of the transportation cost, all freight, insurance, and handling charges indicated on the merchandise invoice will be deducted. o Separate invoices for transportation, insurance, or handling charges only will be returned as not payable. Do not insure shipments unless specifically instructed to do so in writing by BCF. Expense offsets (chargebacks) and related costs will be issued for non-compliance with BCF freight terms and policies. Delivery Windows Burlington Coat Factory Routing and Scheduling departments are working with the purchase order dates exactly as they are shown in your EDI [850] PO transmission. The 2 dates on the purchase order are: o Do Not Deliver Before o Do Not Deliver After These 2 dates represent the receiving window of the purchase order and are the only dates BCF will follow. Be sure that your merchandise will arrive at our distribution Chapter 3: Domestic Shipping & Scheduling Page 3-1

2 centers within the purchase order delivery window and is not delivered to a Burlington Coat Factory DC or store beyond its Do Not Deliver After date. All routing or scheduling requests that risk missing the Do Not Deliver After date will be refused. o We have also instructed our local consolidators in New Jersey (JayDee) and California (City Garment, ACT) to be very strict in arranging pickups. They will also refuse any pickups that risk missing the Do Not Deliver After date. o Consolidated LTL shipments that have been picked up through our national providers Roadway and ABF will be held to realistic travel times as well. Fulfill appointment request(s) per the latest version of the PO. All changes of the delivery window must be confirmed in the latest version of the PO. Verbal or consent is not sufficient. In most cases, PO carton counts cannot be increased after receiving a delivery appointment confirmation. The vendor is liable for all costs associated with shipments that do not conform to the agreed upon delivery window. Chapter 3: Domestic Shipping & Scheduling Page 3-2

3 Section 1: Shipping Distribution Center (DC) Shipping Rules APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING All DC POs are handled by our Central Scheduling Office. Appointments are made via only at the following addresses: East Coast (Edgewater Park, NJ) x73027 West Coast (San Bernardino, CA) x73024 **Call to confirm receipt of if appointment notification is not received within 24 hours** BCF will only accept this request form via BCF Appointment Scheduling Form The carrier is responsible for making an appointment in a timely manner. For pre-paid merchandise, the vendor assumes responsibility for the carrier s actions. BCF recommends that shipments be tendered to the carrier a minimum of 2 days in advance of Do Not Deliver Before Date to account for appointment scheduling. For DC deliveries, member of the Scheduling Department will issue an appointment number to be used for check-in at Security on the delivery date. DELIVERY PROCEDURES Live unload appointments are considered on-time when checked in at the gatehouse no earlier than one hour prior to or one hour later than the scheduled appointment time when transiting less than 600 miles, or no earlier than one hour prior to or two hours later than the scheduled appointment time when transiting more than 600 miles. Exceptions may be made depending on priority of merchandise and distribution center capacity; however, no delayed live unloads will be received after 8PM. Carriers and vendors are responsible for load planning trailers. An accurate size and cube should be known before submitting an appointment request. Merchandise on pallets should be annotated as such on the BCF Appointment Scheduling Form. Additional unscheduled trailers due to overflow or multiple appointment requests delivered on one trailer will result in a chargeback for each additional appointment / trailer. Each appointment request requires its own Appointment Scheduling Form and ASN [EDI 856]. PRO/appointment numbers must be delivered as one complete shipment. When multiple trailers are required, each additional trailer will require its own PRO/appointment number. Delivery vehicle bed height must be a minimum of 43 inches (not to exceed 63 inches) and create a seal between the vehicle and loading dock (by use of bridge plate) when parked at the warehouse door. Maximum door dimensions are approximately 119 inches high x 108 inches wide. A minimum ground clearance of 12 inches is required for doors with a trailer lock. Delivery by non-commercial vehicles such as cars, vans, SUVs, and pick-up trucks is highly discouraged; however, goods can be received if carrier / delivery driver agrees to terms listed in BCF Waiver Letter.

5 PROOF OF DELIVERY BCF does not recognize a carrier signed BOL as a proof of delivery. The only acceptable proof of delivery is a BOL signed/stamped by BCF receivers. This is the only document that demonstrates that BCF received your product. A copy of the signed freight bill is available from BCF carriers upon request. If BCF pays the freight, a copy of the signed freight bill is available upon request from our carriers when the vendor presents their BOL. Direct to Store Routing and Shipping Rules The current list of store numbers and addresses is located under the Locations/Contacts tab at Shipments of Lbs. to One Store Location: If the BCF PO freight terms states that vendor pays freight, ship via FedEx Ground Prepaid.

(See FedEx Services later in this chapter) Shipments of 250 Lbs. or More to One Store Location: If the BCF PO states vendor pays freight, ship prepaid. If the BCF PO states that BCF pays all or part of the freight cost, ship collect using the BCF Preferred LTL Carrier Chart. Air Freight Policy: BCF will not pay for any air freight cost that is not authorized by the Director of Vendor Relations.

12 Trading partners shipping freight prepaid from geographic points not addressed in this section: Follow your normal process and allow sufficient transit days so your shipment arrives by the PO Do Not Deliver After date. Also allow at least an additional 48 business hours to account for appointment scheduling. NOTE: For shipments from all other areas, please refer to the BCF Preferred LTL Carrier Chart. BCF TMS (Transportation Management System) BCF has selected the Sterling Transportation Management System (TMS) for its management of freight shipments and visibility. This will be the new method for all collect routing requests. BCF will be enrolling our vendor community into the TMS system through a phased progressive rollout. Once a vendor has been enrolled, the TMS system becomes the only method for a vendor to submit their ready-to-ship information. All other methods of routing (e.g. faxed request forms and /or the electronic form) are to cease immediately and no longer apply for a TMS enrolled vendor. BCF will be communicating and strictly enforcing the migration of vendors to our TMS system. TMS will be the centralized tool for BCF, through the cooperation of our vendor community and carriers, to efficiently plan, view, and manage domestic transportation events. COLLECT VENDORS IN TMS (BCF pays some or all freight) As a collect vendor, carrier assignment is determined by BCF. Once a vendor with collect shipments has been enrolled, TMS becomes the sole method to request routing. BCF will provide an enrollment date for each vendor. On the given enrollment date and going forward, all PO ready-to-ship information is to be transmitted by the vendor and assigned through TMS. Be sure to: Complete required registration in TMS. Starting on a vendor s enrollment date, the vendor will submit all ongoing ready-to- ship information through Sterling TMS. If you have any questions please contact us at x72181 and x72182 or via at routing.request@coat.com Drop Shipments to Stores/Customers & LTL/Parcel Shipments to DC Drop Shipments: The present phase of TMS excludes drop shipments to stores/customers. Regardless of collect versus prepaid parcel shipments, please continue to adhere to our existing procedures for these shipments. LTL and Parcel Shipments to DC: For small collect shipments to a BCF DC, vendors are to submit a shipment order through TMS Webforms. If your shipment order can be consolidated into an LTL/TL load, you will receive a Covered Shipment Advisement and a covered Motor Carrier Shipment Information document in your TMS Webforms inbox advising that your order has been assigned to a BCF LTL/TL carrier. Please reference the TMS Chapter 3: Domestic Shipping & Scheduling Page 3-12
