Just set up a shipment for 5 pallets to be shipped out soonish.
These are the FCs - just wondering if typical receive times is still 1-2 weeks post delivery; please share if any experience with the following FCs or areas?
SWF2 - NY
SCK4 - CA
IAH3 - TX
ORF2 - VA
CLT2 - NC
I really have to manage every single nuanced aspect of what I’m doing now and thus the question.
Had a pallet picked up on the 7th, that went to LBE1 ( PA ). It checked in on Monday (6 days). Central Transport was the carrier for this one.
Had another pallet picked up the same day going to RDU4 (NC). It’s in the state but not to the city yet, nor does it have a posted delivery appointment yet.
Actually escalated that one through our SAS manger under the “Hot PO” function of the program since it met the criteria for a push. TForce was the carrier for this one.
Based on the NSFE - I am not seeing extreme delays. I wouldn’t expect it to be super fast but I also wouldn’t expect it to be heavily delayed either.
This isn’t a great tine to ship in bc the limits and storage charges just relaxed so sellers are filling FBA up.
Supposedly, staff has been deployed to concentrate on inbounds (if we can believe that).
So everything is set for pick up tomorrow according to the shipment plan and I’m triple/quadruple checking everything since I’m doing it all by myself
While prepping pallets today Central Transport showed up to the warehouse to pickup 4 pallets but they aren’t assigned as the carrier for pickup even though they had the right ARNs - but I don’t have a BOL for them to sign since the BOL is for 3 pallets going to three different locations with another carrier.
I called Estes for the pickup number as I often did in the past and they don’t even have a pick up scheduled
Should I be expecting updated BOL the morning of the pickup?
Ok I know why Central Transport showed up a day early. It was for a cancelled shipment for 4 pallets which is exactly correct upon double checking. But that shipment was cancelled within 1 hour of creating shipping plan
