Welcome

Dear Vendor Partner:

Welcome to Ingram Micro’s North American Routing Guide, Fall 2008 Edition. This version is primarily to improve the user interface to the routing guide. We have put considerable effort into improving the organization of the guide to ease your use of this guide.  In addition, there have been minor updates detailed below. Our aim is to keep improving our collective supply chain efficiencies, and constantly increase our value as a fulfillment and logistics solution to all of our vendor partners.
 
Updates to the routing guide are primarily related to the following:

• Improved Organization of the Routing Guide content
• New requirement - Packing Slips required in each shipping carton when Purchase Orders are shipped via small parcel carriers
• Updated pallet quantity break between LTL and Truckload
• Ozone Depleting Chemicals Requirement for Notification

In addition, both prepaid and collect shipments have been required to conform to the Ingram Micro mode selection criteria.  Non-compliance charges for shipments via the incorrect mode, when shipping prepaid, shall begin on shipments tendered after January 3, 2009.

Ingram Micro is constantly looking at ways to improve the way we do business with and for all of our partners. The changes in this routing guide and in our procedures are with the goal of facilitating efficiency across the entire channel, from your manufacturing plants to our distribution network and on through to the solution providers and end-users around the world.

Again, please take time to review the guide thoroughly. If you have any question, please contact your Ingram Micro Vendor Business Manager or send on email to Andrew Burke in our Logistics and Transportation Department.

 Sincerely,

Jeffrey N. Johnson

Vice President Logistics & Transportation
