Inner Packing - refers to the protective materials surrounding merchandise packed within a container, whether the container is a vendor box or a re-shipper. All packaged merchandise requires sufficient inner packing (voids filled, proper dunnage and support, etc.) to secure the item and travel in a parcel or freight carrier's environment.
Vendor Box - non-re-shippable vendor packaging containing selling units of merchandise, intended to be inserted into a Neiman Marcus corrugated box for further protection in order to ship. Neiman Marcus Direct will not remove merchandise from the vendor box in order to improve inner packing. Therefore, the responsibility for providing adequate inner packing lies with the manufacturer or original packer.
Re-shipper - a re-shipper is a package or container that will be used to ship product to the customer's home without further protection or packaging being added. Re-shippers must provide total protection for the parcel carrier's environment as described in the attached guidelines. .
