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!

Hello.
Wanted to let you know that we currently have several (extra) full cartons of 2" caps. Wasn't sure if that helps with what you are needing to do at least the stapled ends of the tubes. 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!
Thank you,
Michael B

I called and spoke with John.  He was going to check to see what we had in stock for 2" plugs, ahead of the large order for them arriving.  He will advise what we can do.

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,
Michael B

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.

Thanks!

Hello.
We are likely to be running out of the 2" tubes by this coming Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If there is any way we can get the 2" tubes, it won't stop fulfillment. Please let me know what can be accommodated. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience but do appreciate anything that can be done. Please let me know asap so that I can plan accordingly.
Thank you,
Michael B

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.

Hello Josh.
We are probably not going to run out of 2" tubes before the 11/14. I need to know if there is any way we can at least get a partial shipment sooner. Please let me know asap.
Thank you,

Mike,
Good to see you yesterday.  I ended up grabbing 65 boxes.  Saginaw is orchestrating pick up for the rest.

It was good to see the unit count on boxes so I can help Saginaw develop the packaging the way you receive it now.

Hello Josh.
Yes you can stop in any time. The boxes are broken down and lying flat on pallets. There are quite a few now but you may take as many as you want.
Thank you,

Hi Mike,
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.
I would also like to review the back door for height to make sure we send you pallets that don't have to be modified in any way at time of delivery.

Thanks,
