  14. Special Order • Labels are now a rare problem • Check status of order BEFORE shipping. Store cannot receive into their system if the order is not in Ready to Ship status. • Short shipments have improved. Thank you for you help on this. Please remember that orders not delivered in full cannot have the missing product delivered later against the same P O. They must be delivered on a new P O and the customer credited by us for the missing product on the original P O.

  15. Returns • Remember you may not do an exchange between you and the licensee on returns or mis-shipments. Mis-picks or bad product must be refunded against the original order and correct product must be shipped on a new P O • Sales reps may not pick up product and take to store on the customers behalf • LOVS Orders---This continues to improve with no barcodes on these labels. • Recalculating on Orders—Please remember to always use the recalculate button before clicking apply. This is especially important on repeat orders. Failure to click recalculate on an order you copy, may not pick up any price changes submitted for items on the order.

  16. Other Concerns • Do notcall or email stores with issues concerning missing items on an order, incorrect receipt of the order, payment questions etc. Stores cannot help you without instruction from SO. Contact us first! • Sales reps, delivery drivers should not tell stores to adjust orders, this only causes issues. • Pick up of cancelled orders and returned product. 30 days or destruction at your cost. • Issues with deliveries made by L&M Warehouse. Some of these drivers are trying to deliver to stores without the proper tools to unload the deliveries and are expecting Store Employees to unload for them. Some of our stores have other restrictions to weight etc, due to their location and the trucks are either too big or too heavy. If you use L&M for delivery, please contact Karen in SO to discuss the issues.
