The document outlines Blue Trading's pallet shipment process. It involves the supplier providing a list of available cartridges, Blue Trading issuing a purchase quote, the supplier accepting the quote, Blue Trading issuing a purchase order, the supplier preparing and labeling the pallets for shipment, Blue Trading scheduling a carrier pickup and sending a bill of lading, the supplier receiving notification that the order arrived and will be inspected, and then receiving an inspection report and payment.

1. Pallet Shipment Process
At Blue Trading we work hard to make sure we have an easy and convenient cartridge
purchase process for our suppliers.
Our shipping representative will work with you to find the best suitable shipping method
available. Please refer to our Packaging Guidelines to ensure that the cartridges you’re
sending don’t get damaged during transportation and avoid cartridges getting rejected during
inspection.
Please provide us with your list of available cartridges. You can contact a representative either
by email, phone or fax. She/he will provide a quote for your inventory. Once the purchase quote
has been accepted, your Representative will send you a Purchase Order by email, which you
could sign or you can send us an email back that it is approved by you.
You should securely package and prepare your cartridges for shipping. Please remember, if it
shakes it brakes. Usually you can stack pallets up to 7 feet high and shrink wrap the pallet
[otherwise the carriers will not take your load]. Please make a label with your company name
and PO Number on each pallet. Once you have the pallets ready send us the pallet counts,
weights and dimensions; we will schedule a pick-up with the freight carrier and send you a
copy of the Bill of Lading [BOL], on an agreed-upon date and time if necessary. Please
remember we don’t pay for damaged cartridges during shipment.
Once the order is received in our warehouse, you will receive an email notification letting you
know that order was received and it’s ready to be inspected in the order it was received.
Once the order is processed you will receive an Order Receipt [Inspection Report] by email
with all the details and findings of the inspection. The order then will get to the Finance
Department to get scheduled to be paid.
We use trusted common nationwide carriers for our pick-ups to ensure we receive the freight in
a fair timeframe. Transit times typically range between 2-7 days on your location.
