Time to talk about “Request” items…. • “Request” items are generally short-life or perishable items that need to be distributed quickly, such as fresh produce, breads and dairy. • You can “request” these items, and we will provide them IF they are in stock at the time your order is filled. • Most, but not all Request items are NSMF. An exception is shown below, Yogurt, which is SMF. It is very important to carefully read every description! • To order a Request item, put a “1” in the Order Qty box. This is a place-holder that tells us that you want this item.Later, you will be able to tell us specifically how many pounds of the Requestitem(s) you want. • Request pounds or fees are not included in your running total for weight, and arenot counted as part of the 500 lbminimum (because you may not ultimately get them.)
