Ordering

Ordering Methods: To place a regular stock order we recommend the following electronic ordering methods: • Computer to Computer (EDI) • Remote Order Entry Unit • Via the Internet on blishmize.com Electronic order entry is faster, more accurate and more economical. Orders may also be mailed, faxed or telephoned to our Customer Service Department. Ordering Deadlines: Regular Stock Orders: Regular Blish-Mize stock orders must be sent by 12:01 a.m. Central Standard Time (CST) the day your Blish-Mize delivery truck is scheduled to load. For example, if your truck loads on Tuesday, we must have your order by 12:01 a.m. CST Tuesday morning. Emergency Orders: Emergency orders may be added for shipment with your regular order until 8:00 a.m. CST. Emergency orders can’t exceed 10 order lines. Will Call Orders: Will call orders placed by 8:00 a.m. CST are available for pick up after 11:00 a.m. CST; will call orders placed after 8:00 a.m. CST are available for pick up after 3:00 p.m. CST. UPS Orders: UPS orders placed by 11:20 a.m. CST are ready for shipment by 4:00 p.m. CST. Common Carrier Orders: Common carrier orders placed by 8:00 a.m. CST will have same-day shipment. Order Quantity Rounding: Blish-Mize’s optional rounding program allows you to have your order quantities automatically rounded to economical sell pack quantities. Ordering in sell pack carton quantities reduces order costs such as handling costs and the broken sell pack adder. Rounding is limited to order quantities within the percentage limits you specify. These percentages may be set for all items or by department. The order quantity will not round down unless the order quantity is greater than one sell pack, i.e. it will not round down to zero. Examples: a. Round up limit=75% or more of sell pack; sell pack=12; 75% of 12=9. Round up order quantities of 9 to 11 to sell pack of 12; 21 to 23 to two sell packs of 12(24), etc. b. Round down limit=20% or less of sell pack; sell pack=10; 20% of 10=2. Round down order quantities of 11 to 12 to sell pack of 10; 21 to 22 to two sell packs of 10 (20), etc.
