Spring 2012 New Store Drop Ship (Parcel) Shipment Instructions
[Updated January 3, 2012]

Do not use these instructions for anything other than direct-to-store drop ship (parcel) fulfillment requirements.

Versant Supply Chain, formerly Katt World Logistics, is Burlington Coat Factory’s consolidator for vendor drop ship (parcel) New Store shipments. If your company will be making direct parcel shipments for New Store Orders before we publish the new store address and merchandise release date on http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com/lists/newStores.Burlington Coat Factory you must follow the instructions listed below.

Note: Versant Supply Chain will accumulate drop ship (parcel) New Store shipments and release those goods when building construction is complete and we have a certificate of occupancy. The following stores should be shipped following the New Store shipping policy.

810 - Bronx, NY
822 - Killeen, TX
823 - Kirkwood, MO
824 - Cherry Hill, NJ
825 - Miami, FL
826 - Beaumont, TX

ONLY STORES LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE SHIPPED TO VERSANT SUPPLY CHAIN.

Address all cartons and bills of lading as below.

SHIPPING & ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS

  • All freight cost related to the shipment of BCF New Store purchase orders are the Vendor's responsibility. Ship all orders Pre-paid to Versant Supply Chain by the carrier of your choice.
  • BCF and its Subsidiaries will not pay any freight cost added to a merchandise invoice.
  • When we have confirmation of a store opening, we will post the address for that store. At that point, discontinue to ship Versant Supply Chain and use the posted store address as the shipping destination on your parcels. Use only the BCF Vendor Manual as your validation of a store opening and the correct address.

Note: If you choose to combine multiple new store drop shipments into a single LTL shipment, kindly palletize, shrink wrap and mark/label that prepaid LTL shipment as "Mixed Stores".

Vendor Pre-Ticketing

Burlington Coat Factory is currently driving a pre-ticketing initiative in order to ensure that all merchandise is preticketed prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified on the purchase order. This will allow for merchandise to move through our distribution process faster, leading to merchandise reaching the stores sooner. Ticket Placement Ticket Attachments Contact Information

Hangers

Burlington Coat Factory has begun to comply with the change of the current VICS Guideline for GOH metal hook apparel hangers from clear to matte black, which has proven to be both environmentally friendly and more sustainable, allowing for more rotations in reuse and recycling programs, ultimately reducing costs.
