3. The following errors may attract extra charges, which will be levied in consultation with OGOship: 

•    Products do not have a barcode or product code, making it difficult to recognize the        product 
•    Boxes are significantly damaged 
•    A box containing mixed SKU's arrives without a "mixed SKU's"-marking on the box
•    One SKU is spread over multiple boxes, pallets, or shipments 
•    There is no product recognition such as a barcode or product code on the outer         carton 
•    Products still need processing such as bundling, sealing, labeling and so on
•    Products are not created in MyOgo before arrival
•    Important: If you have SKU's that should be treated as a non-regular SKU (for example  as an add-on flyer, add-on item, own packing material) in your orders, please contact OGOship (service@ogoship.com) for requesting activation of that. In your email, write the name of the SKU and to which category it should fall under. When the SKU is approved, our team will assign the correct classification for your SKU.

We strive to give unparalleled customer service to our ecommerce brands. An important part of that is ensuring we have clear and accurate information of goods going out and coming into the warehouse. We ask you to help us by making us aware of any goods that are coming into the warehouse. These guidelines are established to allow us adequate time and planning to receive your goods.

If no Stock Update (ASN) is received, we will add a fee of $25 per SKU on the receiving charges or will void the receiving SLA. A complete Stock Update contains all SKUs arriving, full quantities expected, and the estimated date of arrival.

4. Order Processing and Dispatch SLA

4.1 Outbound SLA 

All orders in NEW-state in MyOGO before 13:00 PM MT (warehouse local time) will be dispatched during the same day, assuming it is a working day. 

Only orders that can be fulfilled completely will be processed and shipped. Order data should be complete and contain all necessary fields in order to print the transport label successfully.

Your orders will be packed into the packaging that the warehouse finds most suitable for the particular order, unless otherwise agreed upon.

5.3 Returns procedure

Returned products received by the warehouse are opened, inspected and placed back in stock. If the returnable items require something out of the ordinary (such as example: please add a hangtag again if it was torn off), the return handling process might require a unique cost. Go through the return handling requirements during the onboarding stage and when introducing new SKU's.  

6. Warehousing requirements

6.1 General information about goods storage

How goods are divided into bulk/pallet storage and smaller shelf storage locations remains at the discretion of the warehouse.

The temperature of the storage location is by default between +10 c and +35 c, depending on the season.
