Fulfillment

- Packing slips may not be used as a substitute for purchase orders.
- Valid tracking information must be provided electronically for each purchase order immediately upon shipment. Tracking will be sent to Wayfair from the supplier via EDI (ASN-856). Tracking can also be electronically transmitted by the carrier when shipping requirements are performed correctly.
- Suppliers must ship product on Wayfair’s Small Parcel, LTL or White Glove shipping accounts; Wayfair’s Transportation Team will coordinate the initial set up. Based on expected volume, Wayfair typically arranges a schedule of daily pickups for Small Parcel and LTL accounts with White Glove pickups occurring two times per week.

- Freight charges must be billed to the third party carrier account provided by Wayfair.
Returns Policy
Wayfair’s policy is to allow customers to return unused (re-sellable), undamaged product in its original packaging for 30 days after receipt (buyer’s remorse returns). In such cases, Wayfair will provide the customer with Wayfair’s purchase order number to be used as the Return Authorization (RA) number.
- You must accept returns under this policy unless otherwise specified.
- You will notify Wayfair within two (2) business days once the returned item has been received and issue a credit to Wayfair for the cost of the product.
- In rare cases, items purchased through partnerships may have an extended time horizon for returns.
- If you ship predominantly White Glove, Wayfair’s allowance agreement will shield you from issues related to freight damage, one-time manufacturer defects and buyer’s remorse returns. In such cases, Wayfair will deduct agreed upon allowance from each invoice and in return will not seek credits related to these issues.
