Welcome to the Goody's Family Clothing, Inc., Vendor Relations Website.
Dear Goody's Vendor:
The Office of Vendor Relations has been created to review Goody's current shipping / packing / ticketing / routing instructions, guidelines, procedures and policies- and to develop and implement any changes to these requirements.
As a result of these efforts this office has developed the Goody's Vendor Relations Manual. This manual provides a comprehensive list of instructions and guidelines for our vendors to follow in order to comply with Goody's Floor Ready / Routing / Packing / EDI requirements- all designed to maximize our potential as business partners.
Some important additions/changes to past published information includes:
• Complete Floor Ready Requirements including Hanger, Folding, Size Sticker and Ticket Placement Requirements
• Revised Routing Instructions including Vendor Contact Information, Expense Offset Policies and Purchase Order Terms & Conditions
• Goody’s Technology Requirements including EDI Mappings, Operational Procedures and Current Store Listing.
It is imperative that you, our vendors, take the time to review this manual and to provide copies of this manual to those individuals within your company that may be affected by these guidelines / requirements; i.e. shipping, manufacturing, etc.
Although we feel that this manual is very specific in nature, should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact any of our Distribution, Transportation, EDI, Vendor Relations or Trade Payable Managers / Directors listed in the "Contacts" section of the manual.
PLEASE NOTE: All Goody’s vendors are responsible for the requirements listed in this manual effective February 1st 2000.
This manual is by no means complete and ‘final’. Changes and updates will be provided and posted on our web site as situations warrant. On this same web page, this office has created a ‘Recent Updates’ link. This link will detail any new changes that will be incorporated in future additions of the Vendor Relations Manual- without the need to go through the entire Manual to identify changes.
FYI- It is also the intention of this office to post updated manuals on the Goody’s Web Site at regular intervals.
NOTE- If you are a new vendor considering doing business with Goody's, you must first complete the Goody's New Vendor Approval Form. If Goody's does decide purchase from your company, this properly completed form must be submitted to your buyer before an official Purchase Order can be generated. CLICK HERE for direct access to this form.
NOTE- Vendors are responsible for making themselves aware of the Goody's Purchase Order Terms & Conditions BEFORE they ship merchandise to Goody's. All shipped merchandise is subject to the Goody's Purchase Order Terms & Conditions. CLICK HERE for direct access to these Purchase Order Terms & Conditions.
The Office of Vendor Relations stands ready to answer any questions, and to assist each vendor in reaching compliance with the guidelines and requirements listed in this manual.
Feel free to contact this office directly (email vendor.relations@gdys.com)
Thank you for your continued help & support!
