These receiving guidelines are in place so our warehouse team can process
your products quickly and start shipping for you. Please note that every inbound shipment must be entered in as a Purchase Order ahead of inventory arrival - failure to do so will lead to longer receiving times. See our article here on how to create a Purchase Order.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to keep operations running
smoothly.
Inventory that does not follow our guidelines will be subject to longer
wait times.
Charges may apply per unit or hour for products that
must be counted and verified.
We reserve the right to refuse inventory that violates our receiving
guidelines.
If you don't have a 247-approved receiving appointment, we reserve the
right not to receive any inventory. 247 will not be liable for rejecting
delivery (not receiving inventory).
247 Fulfillment will incur no additional liability for inventory not received
within these frames.
247 Fulfillment can only accept your inventory during receiving hours.
Booking Requirements

Receiving Fees
Refer to your Fulfillment Agreement for pricing information on receiving.
Generally, shipments that arrive on pallets incur receiving fees per-pallet,
while floor-loaded shipments or small parcel shipments incur receiving
charges per-carton.
Note: These prices are subject to further charges due to box dimensions and/or weight.
Shipping Requirements for Small Parcel/Freight
Avoid mixing different SKUs within the same carton. In the case where
>1 SKU is placed in the same carton, units must be clearly separated
within the box for boxes to remain compliant, i.e., separated by dividers
or polybags.
For pallets of a single SKU, each pallet must have the 247 Fulfillment
pallet tag visible.
This must be indicated on the pallet tag for mixed pallets (more than 1
SKU on a pallet).
Boxes with mixed SKUs on a pallet must be clearly separated
within the box to remain compliant, i.e., separated by dividers or
polys.
Inbound pallet height restriction = Less than 72" in height and no
double-stacked skids.
The final pallet loaded on the truck must have a printout of the
associated PO and a packing list for identification.
All individual units must be barcoded
