Third Party Billing for FOB Origin Drop Shipments: Shipment is made from Seller to a non-Aerojet
Rocketdyne, destination and is invoiced to Aerojet Rocketdyne. Aerojet Rocketdyne will pay for the shipping, not
the Shipper or Receiver.
Purchase Order: Contractual document issued by a Buyer/Delegate Buyer for the acquisition of goods or a
voucher purchase order issued for the receipt of goods (e.g., customer furnished material).
Seller: Supplier awarded the purchase order, or the entity providing goods under a voucher purchase order.
Oversize shipments: Items weighing greater than 5000 lbs. or exceeds 96 inches in width or depth
SHIPPING TIPS:
1. Plan your shipments. This will give you transit time and affords you to opportunity to run your
shipments on the ground if appropriate.

Example:
$300 spent on an air shipment = $100 spent on ground transportation.
$200 savings or 66% reduction in cost
2. Know your service levels and buy standard service wherever possible. It will arrive on the same day and
is 20% cheaper.

Example:
Priority Overnight will get a shipment to you next day by 10:30 am
Standard Overnight will get the same shipment to you 4 and 1/2 hours later by 3:00pm
In the majority of cases the carrier will deliver 3:00pm shipments along with 10:30 shipments to save a
second trip
3. Know your receiving hours of operation for Rocketdyne Aerojet plants: contact the personnel listed in
paragraph II for the receiving location.



Socorro is closed Friday so if you ship overnight on Thursday it will not be delivered until Monday.
Aerojet Rocketdyne will be charged an additional fee for an attempted delivery.
Sacramento is closed every other Friday
Stennis Space Center is closed on Friday
4. Remember: Shipments tendered to a carrier Thursday and Friday for a Monday or later delivery, actually
have 4 days to travel (Carriers do not count Saturdays and Sundays as transit days) and will probably go
on ground transportation even if you book it airfreight. Make sure we are utilizing ground transportation
later in the week.

sent next day air.
5. What is the fragility, item cost, criticality of the item?
a. Freight shipped LTL ground is subject to handling damage due to the numerous transfers
between trucks and terminals. LTL ground freight should be used only for robust materials such
as raw material, forgings and castings or for items that are packaged extremely well to withstand
the rigors of LTL ground freight. Finished goods, assemblies and high dollar value items should
be shipped either expedited 2 or 3 day air. If you have any questions contact the shipping
representative
b. Ground service should be used for parcel shipments as time allows, ensure packaging is
sufficient to protect the items shipped.
