Do not insure shipments

**NOTICE**

Deviations to these instructions must be approved by Aerojet Rocketdyne Transportation Management

Shipping authority’s failure to comply with these instructions may result in liability for excess freight charges and responsibility for loss and/or damage, and a $100.00 administrative expense.

DEFINITIONS

Self Insurance- Setting aside money to cover possible losses rather than purchasing an outside insurance policy…………………………………………… Aerojet Rocketdyne is self-insured

Declared Value-The value of goods declared to the carrier by the shipper for the “purposes of determining charges” and establishing the liability of the carrier.

Free on Board (FOB) - Legal term used to designate the place at which the transfer of ownership

(Title of Goods) takes place. The FOB point is specified by the Buyer in the purchase order.Use of this term assures AR control and reduction of transportation costs.

FOB Origin - Transfer of ownership occurs at Seller’s point of loading. Aerojet Rocketdyne designates the carrier and is responsible for (i) freight costs and (ii) loss and/or damage of goods. Seller must ship using the carrier designated by Aerojet Rocketdyne as outlined in these instructions.

FOB Destination - Transfer of ownership occurs at the Aerojet Rocketdyne designated receiving dock. Aerojet Rocketdyne selects the carrier and is responsible for freight costs. Aerojet Rocketdyne is responsible for loss and/or damage to goods while in transit. Insurance responsibility rests with Aerojet Rocketdyne.

Third Party Billing for FOB Origin Drop Shipments: Shipment is made from Seller to a non-Aerojet Rocketdyne, destination and is invoiced to Aerojet Rocketdyne. Aerojet Rocketdyne will pay for the shipping, not the Shipper or Receiver.

Purchase Order: Contractual document issued by a Buyer/Delegate Buyer for the acquisition of goods or a voucher purchase order issued for the receipt of goods (e.g., customer furnished material).

Seller: Supplier awarded the purchase order, or the entity providing goods under a voucher purchase order.

Oversize shipments: Items weighing greater than 5000 lbs. or exceeds 96 inches in width or depth

SHIPPING TIPS:

  1. Plan your shipments. This will give you transit time and affords you to opportunity to run your shipments on the ground if appropriate.
  • Example: $300 spent on an air shipment = $100 spent on ground transportation.

$200 savings or 66% reduction in cost

  1. Know your service levels and buy standard service wherever possible. It will arrive on the same day and is 20% cheaper.
  • Example: Priority Overnight will get a shipment to you next day by 10:30 am

Standard Overnight will get the same shipment to you 4 and 1/2 hours later by 3:00pm

In the majority of cases the carrier will deliver 3:00pm shipments along with 10:30 shipments to save a second trip

  1. Know your receiving hours of operation for Rocketdyne Aerojet plants: contact the personnel listed in paragraph II for the receiving location.
  • Socorro is closed Friday so if you ship overnight on Thursday it will not be delivered until Monday. Aerojet Rocketdyne will be charged an additional fee for an attempted delivery.
  • Sacramento is closed every other Friday
  • Stennis Space Center is closed on Friday

4. Remember: Shipments tendered to a carrier Thursday and Friday for a Monday or later delivery, actually have 4 days to travel (Carriers do not count Saturdays and Sundays as transit days) and will probably go on ground transportation even if you book it airfreight. Make sure we are utilizing ground transportation later in the week.

  1. SHIPMENT ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Determine process required for shipping.
  1. Input Aerojet Rocketdyne’s purchase order in the reference field on the bill of lading
  2. Size and weight of the items
  3. Items weighing over 150 lbs. and/or exceeding 165 inches in girth are freight shipments
  4. Items weighing 150 lbs. and under are parcel shipments
  5. To compute girth: Measure the width of the package rounding to the nearest inch and multiply by 2. Measure the height of the package rounding to the nearest inch and multiply by 2. Add the sum of both numbers to the length of the package and the result is the girth measurement.
  6. Delivery Time Constraints (When is this to be delivered?)
  7. Destination
  8. Regional shipments approximately 500 mile radius) will usually travel by ground even if they are sent next day air.
  9. What is the fragility, item cost, criticality of the item?
  10. Freight shipped LTL ground is subject to handling damage due to the numerous transfers between trucks and terminals. LTL ground freight should be used only for robust materials such as raw material, forgings and castings or for items that are packaged extremely well to withstand the rigors of LTL ground freight. Finished goods, assemblies and high dollar value items should be shipped either expedited 2 or 3 day air. If you have any questions contact the shipping representative
  11. Ground service should be used for parcel shipments as time allows, ensure packaging is sufficient to protect the items shipped.
