II. Distribution Center Shipments (Includes Non-Merchandise Shipments)
All shipments must contain a packing slip on the lead carton. Packing slips must include the number of units by style, color, and size if applicable based upon the purchase order’s level of detail.
Ship to:
Bealls Outlet Stores

From any U.S. origin, ship Collect via UPS Ground . Contact the Inbound Transportation Department for UPS account number.
Do not ship 3 rd Party Billing, Consignee Billing or UPS Hundred Weight.
Beall’s requires that first and second reference fields are utilized for Beall’s information only and that the vendor may use the third, fourth and fifth reference fields for their own data. The purchase order number must be in the first reference field and the store number in the second reference field of the UPS shipping label. Complete the first reference as “PO1234567” and the second reference as “ST 115 ”, if you are completing the UPS bill of lading manually, enter this data on the first address line.
If you are unable to ship via UPS due to size restrictions and ship through the consolidator, you must put the carton dimensions on your bill of lading. Please see “Shipments Weighing 251 lbs. up to 7,999 lbs. or over 24 cartons and not exceeding 1,200 cu. ft. or less than 10 non-stackable pallets.” within this section for instructions.
UPS Size Limits
UPS has established specific size limits for the packages that you send with all UPS services. The restrictions below only pertain to individual packages.
Packages can be up to 165 inches (419 cm) in length and girth combined.
Packages can be up to 108 inches (270 cm) in length.
How to measure your package size
To measure ground packages use the following formula:
Length + 2x Width + 2x Height
Step 1. Determining Length
Measure the longest side of the package, rounding to the nearest inch. This is your length.
Step 2. Determining Girth (2x Width + 2x Height)
Measure the width of the package, rounding to the nearest inch. Multiply this number by 2.
Measure the height of the package, rounding to the nearest inch. Multiply this number by 2.
Add these two numbers together. This is your girth.
Step 3. Add the length and the girth together. This is your package measurement.
Page
of
How to determine dimensional weight
Multiply the package length by the width by the height. For each dimension, measure at the longest point, rounding each measurement to the nearest whole number (for example, 1.00 to 1.49 will be considered 1, and 1.50 to 1.99 will be considered 2). The result is the cubic size in inches. If the cubic size of the package in inches is 5,184 or larger, divide the cubic size by 166 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the cubic size in inches is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.
All shipments weighing between 251 lbs. and 7,999 lbs. (actual or dimensional weight), less than 1200 cubic feet, or less than 10 nonstackable pallets use the Carrier Selection Chart below. If your shipment exceeds any of these measurements please refer to
“Shipments Weighing 8,000 lbs. or more or 1200 cube or more or 10 non-stackable pallets or more - Truckload Shipments"
Vendors are required to combine all shipments from the same location with the same destination to no more than one LTL shipment per week.

Defining Commercial Zone vs. Consolidation Zone
Commercial Zone = Shipments made within this area are at the vendor’s expense from their dock to Beall’s consolidator.
Consolidation Zone = is the geographical area in which an agent for Beall’s Outlet Stores collects vendor shipments at
Beall’s direction and builds truckloads destined for Bradenton Florida.
Consolidator information
Vendors must call to schedule a pick up no less than 48 hours prior to the order's cancel date and deliveries must be called in
24 hours prior to delivery (weekends and holidays not included).
When vendors are scheduling a pickup with the consolidators and the time the shipment is ready for pick up is after 12:00 p.m., the consolidator will consider the next business day as the first available pickup day for that shipment.
The vendor has the responsibility to arrange for the shipment to the consolidator.
The vendor, at their discretion, within the Commercial Zone may select Beall’s consolidator (at vendor’s expense) to make the pickup or utilize their own truck or a 3 rd party carrier to make the delivery to the consolidator.
If a vendor selects to use their own truck or a third party provider to make deliveries to the consolidator, the date the merchandise is delivered to the consolidator is the official pickup date for Beall’s. The carrier must provide vendor's bill of lading to the consolidator.
It is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the consolidator picks up within the designated shipping window.
The consolidators will not accept shipments sent via small package carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.).
If you arranged with the consolidator for a pick up and he does not make the pick up on the scheduled day, or if you have any problems with our consolidator, call the Beall’s Transportation Department immediately at 941.744.4658.

General Instructions for Complex Case Pack calls for a pre-arranged assortment of goods to be packed in either inner packs, single cartons or, in cases where the assortment is too large for a single carton, in groups of cartons. The specific packing requirements are spelled out on the face of the Beall’s Outlet purchase order.
ANY COMPLEX CASE PACK ORDERS NOT RECEIVED ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC CASE PACK INSTRUCTIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHARGEBACK TO OFFSET EXPENSES FOR NON CASE PACK PROCESSING. ADDITIONALLY: STYLES,
COLORS OR SIZES RECEIVED THAT ARE NOT ON THE PURCHASE ORDER ARE SUBJECT TO A HANDLING FEE OF
$275.00 IN ADDITION TO ANY COST ADJUSTMENT THAT THE BUYER NEGOTIATES.
All case pack orders should be packed as follows:
Case pack merchandise is to be packed as stated in purchase order.
Pack each "case pack" assortment in separate cartons.
Pack each purchase order in separate cartons. Do not combine purchase orders in the same carton.
The packing slip should be attached to outside of lead carton for each purchase order.
In some instances, multiple case pack assortments may exist on the same order. The purchase order explains how to build these assortments and will give each assortment a unique code (an alphabetic character). When shipping orders with multiple case pack assortments it is critical that you follow these additional carton-labeling steps for each carton (see example below).
Complex Case Pack Carton Labeling Instruction
Label each carton on one of the long sides with the following information:
Vendor’s name and address.
Beall’s Outlet Stores, Inc. and address.
Purchase Order number.
Department number.
Case Pack quantity (per carton).
Case Pack assortment code (e.g. A, B, C, etc.) that corresponds with the purchase order case pack being shipped.
Carton counts by assortment code (e.g. Assortment A 1 of 2, A 2 of 2).
Total Cartons in the shipment.
