LTL, or Truckload (Prepaid or Collect) to any of our Distributions
Centers / Warehouses.
ASNs must be provided to our Distribution Centers / Warehouses at least 24 hours prior to the shipment arriving. It is the responsibility of the Supplier, not the carrier, to provide the ASN information.

How does
an ASN get sent?
ASNs can be provided through EDI, E-mail or Fax
EDI (our preferred method)
Please refer to the EDI section of this program for further details on EDI
Until your EDI program is tested and approved, you must provide a manual ASN (E-mail or Fax).
In the event an EDI ASN cannot be submitted, you must provide a manual ASN in its place (E-mail or Fax).
An ASN Functional Acknowledgment is automatically submitted to the supplier verifying the document was received. This Functional Acknowledgment only indicates the document was received. It does not verify the data was accurate.
E-mail - ASNs via E-mail should be sent to whse@MillsFleetFarm.com
If you must E-mail your ASN, please submit a "test" email for every email address you will be sending from so we can verify the setup is correct. This will need to be completed for each email address you may send an ASN from. Failure to provide a "test" may result in your E-mail being considered "spam" by our E-mail filters and will cause an ASN discrepancy resulting in an ASN Charge.
Upon receiving your "test" we will reply to you within 72 hours. If you have not received our reply within that period please contact us at 920-997-8344 as an error has occurred. When contacting us, please have the date and time you sent the email available.
Once "testing" has been completed and you are able to submit ASNs via E-mail, please note that our Receiving department does not provide reply "confirmations" verifying we received the document.
Fax - ASNs via Fax should be sent to 920-731-1517
Please refer to our provided ASN sample for transmitting ASNs via Fax
Faxed ASNs may be submitted 24 hours a day.
Please note if you receive a busy signal or an error message, the fax was not transmitted and you must retry.
Please note that our Receiving department does not provide reply "confirmations" verifying we received the document.
Please use only one method per shipment as duplicate ASNs can cause errors.
The first ASN document received will be used as the ASN for the shipment unless we are clearly informed that a revision is coming.

What is
the ASN Charge Policy?
We want to work with all of our suppliers to ensure an efficient
and effective process is in place. Failure on behalf of the
supplier to provide Fleet Wholesale Supply Co. Inc. DBA Mills Fleet
Farm with the required ASN, and/or providing an inaccurate or late
ASN, will result in Fleet Wholesale Supply Co. Inc. assessing an
ASN Charge to the supplier.
ASN charges will be deducted from a suppliers invoice.
Violations will be monitored by our ASN Disputes Department, who will notify the supplier of any ASN Charge(s) assessed.
First offense: warning letter
Second and third violations: 10% deduction not to exceed $100 from the invoice
Subsequent violations, the supplier will receive a 10% deduction not to exceed $250 from the invoice.
Supplier Relations will work with the supplier to resolve issues; however, if violations continue we may request a meeting with the supplier. If a resolution cannot be reached, we may elect to increase the amount deducted from invoice or review our options of sourcing the product from another supplier.

Delivery Appointments
Fleet Wholesale Supply Co.
Inc., DBA Mills Fleet Farm requires that delivery appointments be
scheduled for all of our Distribution Centers/Warehouses. Please
inform your delivery carriers that they must call at least 48 hours
in advance to schedule an appointment. This procedure facilitates
an orderly and timely flow of merchandise through our Distribution
Center/Warehouses.
Any freight
shipments arriving without prior appointments scheduled will be
deferred until such time as the Distribution Center receiving
schedules permits and we cannot guarantee same day unloading. We
will make every attempt to accommodate; however, prior scheduled
receiving will take precedence. All charges assessed as a result of
this condition from carriers will be the responsibility of the
supplier.
These
procedures are required regardless whether your freight is routed
via Prepaid (your carrier) or Collect (Fleet Wholesale's routing).
The times
available for scheduling an appointment and our receiving schedule
for a normal business week are listed below.
We have notified all of our preferred truckload and LTL carriers of
this information as they have a standing appointment and are exempt
from complying with this procedure.
