When working as a supply vendor with Walmart, the shipping terms are very specific and standardized. Walmart mainly uses two major shipping terms:
-
Collect
-
Walmart arranges and pays for the transportation.
-
The vendor must have the goods ready for Walmart’s designated carrier to pick up.
-
Vendor is responsible for loading the goods properly.
-
Title and risk of loss transfer to Walmart at the point of pickup.
-
-
Prepaid (also known as Prepaid and Add or FOB Destination)
-
Vendor arranges and pays for shipping to Walmart’s facility.
-
Vendor retains the risk of loss until the goods are delivered to Walmart.
-
Sometimes vendors charge Walmart separately for the freight (the “add” part) or it's included in the product cost.
