These are the standards by which all items are required to be received at Nice Commerce:

We require delivery appointments for incoming shipments. This appointment is to be scheduled in advance HERE where we require 48hrs of notice for receipt. Any unscheduled deliveries will be subject to additional fees

Our Receiving Department hours are:

• Monday's from 1-4pm
• Tuesday through Thursday from 9-4pm
• Friday's from 9-11am
  • Pricing is $8.00 per pallet received | Nice Commerce will receive the inventory as long as it is in acceptable condition and is not in need of SOW work. A PO needs to be added 48hrs in advance

POs added into ShipHero and Notification:

• POs must be entered into ShipHero
  • If items arrive and a PO was not entered 48 hours beforehand,
    • Example: Items arrive at Nice Commerce but no PO is in the system. From the time the PO is added, we have an additional 48 hours to receive in = 96 hours for Receiving
• ALL Products must have the UPC code associated with the product at the individual or case level
  • Cased products need to have their own case SKU (Ex. Widget-365-CS) and barcode.
  • If you have any questions about case SKUs or case picks, please contact your Account Manager

We ask that clients include the below information within the PO in ShipHero or by reaching out to their Account Manager at [email protected]:

1. PO Number and any other reference numbers
2. Tracking Number/ Shipment Information per piece.
   1. We require all tracking numbers + the count for each piece (pallet, carton, etc.) that is expected
3. Any special receiving instructions to include if a Scope of Work is needed
4. Whether the product existed previously or not
   1. If the product does not exist in the system, request creation or create it in your online store.
5. If the products are incoming from another fulfillment facility or 3PL

Types of Shipments and Our Requirements:

All incoming shipments must be securely packed or wrapped with an attached manifest that includes a breakdown of what all is included in the shipment.

Pallet shipments cannot exceed 56 inches in height or they risk being re-palletized for an added fee.

All drivers will be asked to use a wheel chock and to chock the tires prior to entry into our facility. This will ensure the safety of any forklift driver entering a trailer for offload.
