Due to the volume of advent calendars that need to be assembled we have decided to outsource this part of the task to a Third Party Logistics company called TIFS
Requirements for deliveries:
Beer Cartel C/O
TIFS Third Party Logistics
Warehouse 1B
35 Stennett Road
Ingleburn NSW 2565
Australia
Instructions: Follow TIFS signs, loading dock and deliveries at rear of building.
Receiving dock times: 0730-1330, please call (02) 9519 1666 to book a time slot 24hrs prior to delivery.
Paperwork: All deliveries must have the relevant paper work and packing list or they will be rejected.
Invoice: Please send [email protected] a copy of invoice.
Chep / Loscam / Plain Pallets: if using Chep or Loscam pallets the freight forwarder / logistics company / brewery must just state when booking in the delivery in with TIFS the number and type of Chep/Loscam pallets that are being used so that TIFS can organise to have the correct pallets to exchange when the delivery occurs. From TIFS: "While we prefer plain pallets, we do have Cheps and Loscams on hand which we can exchange should the need arise. We will need to know in advance how many exchange pallets are required."
The best option is always to use plain pallets.
Freight Companies Used
They use a range of freight companies including:
Australia Post
Couriers Please (The Wine Quarter is one of CP’s customers and had a .02% breakage rate for the month, which equated to a $300 credit)
