DISTRIBUTION CENTER  

Delivery schedules are created yearly and include all schools. Deliveries will not be made during inclement weather. Orders are prepared and shipped the following day. Schools will be notified of out-of-stock items. Out-of-stock items will not be back-ordered.  

DELIVERY PROCEDURES  

Deliveries are made to a prearranged door. All products are unloaded and taken to one central location for the order to be checked. A designated person should be assigned at the principal's discretion to receive and check in all deliveries. Custodial supplies will only be signed for by the head custodian or designee. If any discrepancies are found, the driver should resolve the problem. If a shortage has occurred, notify Distribution Center at 594-1419. All delivery receipts are to be signed by the person designated.  

WALK IN ORDERS  

Walk in orders are on an emergency basis only. A call should be made first to insure the item needed is in stock.
