Blind ship a purchase order

Some suppliers provide you with the option of having your purchase order blind shipped directly to your customers. Blind shipping means that the shipment will not have any reference to the supplier. The supplier may include a shipping label with your company's name and address on the shipment or may not include a return address at all. Contact the supplier to see what labeling options they provide.

Suppliers that currently provide this option:

• S&S Activewear

Prerequisites

• You must have Administrator and/or Purchasing permission to use this feature.

To blind ship a purchase order:

1. Log into your DecoNetwork website.
