What are the requirements for Bills of Lading when it comes to pallet (freight) or carton (parcel) shipments?
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is required for all shipments at Shopbop. It must include identification via the REF*BM segment. For freight shipments, the shipping labels on each box on the pallet should clearly display the POJ or POM#. Shipping labels and BOLs should also have the correct address of Shopbop's fulfillment center, a return address, and match exactly what is listed on their corresponding POs. The labels must be affixed to the longest side of the container. For compliance, only BOLs provided by Source Alliance can be used, and you need to request proof of delivery by emailing the PO numbers to shopbop-freight@amazon.com.
