Priorities include, but are not limited to the following: Ad merchandise, out of stock, new or seasonal product. There are no standing appointments unless authorized in writing by the Distribution Center Manager of Discount Drug Mart. We have no guarantees for time frames when you call in. After receiving your purchase order, please call to schedule a receiving appointment two weeks prior to “called for arrival” date by the buyer.

If delivery of a scheduled appointment is over one hour late, it will be refused and rescheduled. However, depending on the volume of our incoming freight, we will attempt to work this order in, but cannot guarantee it will be received.

We request that all freight be delivered immediately. Do not trap any freight unless you have the written approval of the Distribution Center Manager of Discount Drug Mart. Anyone given this approval will be on file at Discount Drug Mart.

Please understand that these measures are necessary so as to speed up and increase our productivity. This in turn will improve delivery times for inbound product.
