Josh.
Just figured out that the order was actually split between 2" and 3". They were all put away as 2". My shipping guys fault. Anyways, I would still like the 6" if you all can add them.
Thank you,

Thanks for the feedback Mike.  We can communicate on how the boxes look upon return.  If they are wrapped adequate, hopefully we should be fine.  I have heard over the years putting a "do not stack" label on LTL shipments can help with how the units are handled at the cross dock for the shipper.

This might be good in this case.  Re-using the boxes is a positive, so we want to try to be able to continue doing so.

Hopefully the tubes are working well.  I will try to follow up with you in person sometime the week of the 28th, after the holiday.

Thanks again for your patience throughout the process of getting the first order going.

Hello.

Ok we got our shipment. The driver was a bit perturbed that he was sent down the street but I think he should be good now. He did end up taking 3 pallets of shrink-wrapped cartons. There was no paperwork for him so I made up a Bill of Lading of which I attached a copy. Otherwise he refused to take anything. He said you will need it to retrieve this order. Not exactly sure what he was going with that but you have it. Also he did suggest that the pallets be banded rather than shrink-wrapped. I don't have any banding material/equipment to make that happen so we won't probably change anything unless it becomes required. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Hi Mike,

Hope you had a good weekend.  I talked to Heather on Friday, and she said the order was set for pick up Friday/ delivery Monday.  She called Holland and added the return of the boxes and plugs, so we can have the boxes on hand, ready for your next order.

Saginaw Team:

Please advise Holland PRO and confirm we'll be picking up while the truck is there.

Thanks!

2.       We are still working on this order.  Heather is scheduling USF Holland for tomorrow pick-up and will forward the timing when it becomes available.  We are trying to have it set-up so Holland can bring back the boxes and caps.

3.       I talked to the group today about labels.

Hello.

We did get our delivery of these tubes. I appreciate you all working so hard to get us some before 11/14. I was pleasantly surprised when the tubes arrived boxed on the pallets. Maybe I missed it somewhere in another email but I thought they were coming loose on the pallets. Believe me, I am not complaining.  I did have a couple of things about the rest of the order that I wanted to confirm. We still have hundreds of boxes here that I thought were going to be used but need to be picked up. Is that still the plan or are you just going to use new boxes? If so, we just need to know so we can send what we have to be recycled. Is a pick up scheduled? And we do have cartons of extra caps that I would be happy to give to you if they can be used. They are just taking up space on my shelves and I had 4 cartons sitting on the boxes that are ready to be returned. Either way, just let me know. A quick note: please make sure the labels for the boxes are affixed to the top side where the tubes are open. The first box I opened had the label on the side that had the stapled ends. We work "out of the boxes" and it just saves us from having to re-tape the boxes and flip it over. Lastly, what time can we expect delivery of Monday's tubes? 

Thank you,
Michael B

Ok. I just went and counted our extra 2" plugs. I'm not sure why but it looks as though we have an extra 7 or 8 boxes of 2400 each. I would be happy to give at least part of those those if that will speed the process at all. Either way, I can take less when we do eventually get the full order. Depending on when we would get the 1,140 early, that will get us through about 1-2 days at best. Please let me know what can be done. Josh, I am going to call you on this in a little bit.

Best course of action, I believe, would be for Saginaw to run early next week a pallet of 1,140 packaged stacked on pallets in double rows, instead of packed in boxes.  This would require Mandatory Poster side to need 21 cartons to pack into, and you could use the plugs you have.

Mike-would this be enough to hold you over until 11/14? 

John-when next week could Mandatory receive this, delivered via liftgate USF Holland?

Depending on if we could arrange the pick-up of boxes, and the plugs for the order arrive, we could continue running the 16,800 packed in cartons after running the pull ahead.

John,

Did you check on what we have for 2" plugs?  What do we have available?

See Mike's note, he has some he can send.  If he sent out today, and we received Monday, can you run early next week?

Still proceed on picking up the two pallets of boxes, if you haven't already.  Mike can leave some cartons for his self from these pallets to pack mailing tubes pulled ahead into.  Plan on shipping a pull ahead bulk stacked on pallet with double rows on a pallet.

Qty will depend on what both of us have available for plugs, but you should be able to get 1,140 on a pallet.

At this point, Mike just needs an answer on what we can do.

 

Mike,

Based on the plugs we have at the plant, let me advise if we need what you have.  Hoping we have enough to do 1 bulk pallet pulled ahead at our end, and you can just use what you have for your closure at your end.  Will let you know as soon as I hear what the plant has.

Thanks!

We could take tubes with just the stapled end done. Also, I really need to know what date you will be able to ship any of the 2" tubes asap. Much appreciated!

Hello Josh.

Since we have quite a few of the boxes here, we would be willing to take a few pallets of tubes that may come packaged differently. Meaning, as long as those are palletized, we could take them "loose" with maybe just cardboard around the outside and shrink-wrapped. We one time received a shipment that way because there was a shortage of boxes. Just trying to think of any possible options. It also depends if any production has begun on the tubes themselves. Please let  me know where we are in regards to that. I will likely have to order from U-line regardless but need to try and figure out what quantity is needed before the order form you arrives. Please let me know your thoughts on any of this.

Thank you,

Hi Mike,

Saginaw can check on their inventory of 2" plugs, to see what they have available, to possibly get a small portion of the order ready ahead of the 14th.
I know based on the tube order, they were ordering the quantity of plugs required to fulfill the order.  I don't know if what they have on hand would be enough to run a pallet or two ahead.

With the 65 boxes I brought back, they have enough boxes to run 3 pallets @ 20 boxes / pallet.

I am also not sure where they are at with arranging the liftgate pick up of the 2 pallets.

If we can pull a couple pallets of tubes ahead of the shipment, I would suggest we ship out USF Holland, and just charge the freight PPD on the pull ahead to cover what I assume will be an extra set-up at our end. 

 

Saginaw Team;

Can you please check what you can do to ship 2-3 pallets early next week, ahead of the competed order for the 14th?

Please respond to Mike ASAP.

Mike,
Let me introduce you to the Saginaw team.  John Atzert is our Plant Manager, and Heather Hunter is handling CSR responsibilities.  They will be able to help you with this inquiry as far as having something ready ahead of the 14th.  

With the boxes we pick up, and the 65 I brought in today, I would imagine they would have enough to start and complete all the 2" requirements ahead of the shipment of boxes we'll get from our regular supplier for new boxes.  I am not sure when they will be producing tubes late this week or early next week, but I would imagine something could be pulled ahead to help you out.

In order to save some time, would it be possible for me to stop by to collect some of the empty/return boxes?  I will be at the Saginaw plant on Wednesday, so it is not an imposition at all.  I would be looking at some time around 2:00 pm.
