Pre-Dispatch Assessment

Dispatch Records

This section is the responsibility of admin or a senior member of the team.

Invoice Pocket & WA Customers

The white copy only of the delivery docket must be folded into three and placed in this pocket. This pocket must then be secured to the side of the pallet, along with the connote/address label.

WA Customers:

A bigger, A4 invoice pocket should be attached to the pallet as well as the smaller invoice pocket. This is for the biosecurity paperwork.

Current Western Australia customers include:

• Premier Fresh

• Direct Produce Distributors (DPD)

• BFP/NP Supermarket

For any orders going to WA, Priscilla must be texted on 0437890050 with the following information:

• Name of customer and the number of pallets to each

• Date they are scheduled for dispatch

• Contents of each pallet

Connote/Address Label

This should be written out with the customer's address and secured to the side of the pallet along with the invoice pocket.

Packing Slip

This is what will need to be filled out on a packing slip. When signing this bottom section, you sign off that you have inspected the pallet and completed the paperwork as per step 1 and 2.

Office Inbox

Once all steps have been completed, the yellow docket, signed packing slip & freight summary must be placed in the office inbox.

The office inbox is located to the right just inside the doorway of the front office with the wood steps.
