Pre-Ticketing
Pre-Ticketing Guidelines and Instructions
The Pre-Ticket program is one which we provide The Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman price tickets to our vendors. We ask that the vendors attach the tickets to their merchandise prior to shipping. The preticketing of merchandise will enable The Neiman Marcus Group to expedite shipments through the distribution centers.
Price tickets are printed after our buyers have approved the purchase order. At no expense to the vendor, price tickets will be shipped to your location within 48 hours of purchase order approval date.
General instructions are found in a "Welcome Packet" and will guide you through the process of pre-ticketing.
If you are interested in joining the pre-ticket program, please contact us at 903-233-5508 or email us at vendor_compliance@neimanmarcus.com.
