1. Introduction

The J.Crew Routing Guide provides shipping instructions for all purchase orders and non-purchase order shipments. Failure to follow the instructions and/or rules contained in this guide may result in delivery delays and/or additional charges to the supplier.

Use this guide to determine whether any special handling is required by either J.Crew or the carrier for the shipment. You will pair the information found in this guide and the information on your PO in www.jcrewimports.com to determine how and where to route your goods.

Please note that the information in this guide is updated periodically and may change without notice. We recommend that you refer to the online version of the Routing Guide found at www.jcrewimports.com to be sure you have the most current information available.

3. General Shipping Guidelines

3.1 Shipment Consolidation

Two or more purchase orders being shipped to the same location on the same day must be combined and shipped on a single bill of lading. If this directive is not followed, full freight cost will be charged back to vendor. Failure to show actual street address on shipments originating from the same city, but with different locations will result in full freight being charged back to vendor.

3.2 Shipping Policies and Requirements

It is the responsibility of the vendor for loading merchandise on a carrier’s vehicle. If the driver is required to load, the vendor will be charged back. Failure to load our carriers in accordance with appointments scheduled will subject vendor to charge backs for detention time that exceeds 2 hours.

All orders must be shipped complete unless otherwise specified. Partial shipments are only permitted when authorized in advance. Any shipment after the first shipment is to be PREPAID AT VENDOR’S EXPENSE.

3.3 Bill of Lading

Proper weights and dimensions must be shown on the Bill of Lading. When shipping direct, consign all orders on one Bill of Lading. Indicate on Bill of Lading our purchase order number(s) if applicable applying to the shipment, and the notation.

Name of shipper must match with name shown on manifest and carton labels. Actual shipping location, including street address, must be shown on Bill of Lading. Provide additional copy of Bill of Lading to carrier at time of pick up.

Bill of Lading must contain actual pieces. STC (Said to Contain) and pallet count notations by a carrier on the Bill of Lading will subject the vendor to liability in the event of a shortage. On container shipments, it must be sealed, with number recorded on the Bill of Lading.

Any shipments in which J.Crew bears freight charges must show as Freight Collect and the bill-to address on the shipping documents MUST be shown as follows:

J.Crew c/o Cass Information SystemsP.O. Box 67St. Louis, MO 63166-0067

4

Under no circumstances is J.Crew to be billed directly for any shipments. Failure to follow these instructions will result in a full chargeback of the carrier invoice. When applicable, if shipped freight collect to consignee, full freight cost will be charged back to vendors.

7.1.1 Authorized Consolidators and Freight Forwarders

All international shipments must be shipped through our nominated Global Logistics Provider (GLP).

Our nominated GLP is authorized to issue Forwarders Cargo Receipt (FCR), House Bill of Lading (HBL), and/or House Air Waybill (HAWB) which is a required document for invoicing and payment.

Please refer to the ‘Download’ section of www.jcrewimports.com for ASN & Packing List guidelineshttps://www.jcrewimports.com/FileDownloads/JCrew%20-%20Web%20Applications%20Guide%20-%20Packing%20List.pdf

IMPORTANT! When a purchase order contains both Bulk and Prepack lines that are being shipped on the same date and ship mode, the standard rule of thumb is the create the Prepack booking and ASN first, and the Bulk, second.

Prepack – Shipment #1Bulk – Shipment #2

When creating shipment lines in J.Crew GLP booking portal, shipment number in LSS Booking MUST match JCI ASN/Packing List.

All PO shipments must have a J.Crew Imports website-generated Packing List at time of cargo delivery.

7.1.4 Booking and Sorting Logic

The Vendor is required to deliver the cargo pre-sorted and segregated in this sequence:

Group by DestinationPO numberShipment number

The freight forwarder/consolidator will not sort and segregate the cargo unless the Customer or Vendor provides written confirmation and agrees to reimburse the J. Crew nominated GLP for all charges incurred per local tariff rates.

Sorting Example: PO’s are all in same booking / CTR: 3502377, 1672233, 6049413, 7038519, 2685822, 0205003

PO must be loaded together WITHIN EACH PACK TYPE and not mixed with other PO’s.

If a PO has multiple shipment numbers, then PO must be segregated by shipment numberPO 3502377 has Prepack line with Shipment number 1PO 3502377 has Bulk line with Shipment number 2

Separate booking per type pack, per PO will be required to be submitted. Please note that though Bulk and Prepack require separate bookings, they are on the same FCR.

IMPORTANT! When creating shipment lines in J.Crew GLP booking portal, shipment number in LSS Booking MUST match JCI ASN/Packing List.

Example: PO 3502377(B&P), 1672233(B), 6049413(B), 7038519(B), 0205003(P)PO 3502377 has Prepack line with Shipment number 1PO 3502377 has Bulk line with Shipment number 2Final loading sequence should be: (NOSE) BULK: 3502377, 1672233, 6049413, 7038519(TAIL) PREPACK: 3502377, 0205003

LARGE PO instruction If 1 PO cannot fit in 1 CTR, then move the shipment (2 containers) under 1 BL. Since this is 1 PO, the vendor will create 1 ASN, and 1 set of commercial Docs. This is the exception to 1 CTR per BL rule.
