 Delivery Schedule

•           There will be 2 delivery days per week, per area (Group ONE-TR/Group TWO-WF).  This means you can order up to 2 times per week and receive 2 orders per week.

Ordering & Invoicing

•           Orders will be placed via the SANA ordering system through the DDS Store 248. 

•           There will be set days of the week for ordering with a 1:30 pm EST cutoff time to confirm your order to ensure appropriate processing. If you miss the cutoff time of 1:30 pm, the next available delivery date will be displayed as an alternative option.

•           Payment for product occurs when product is firmed as it is being loaded onto the delivery truck for shipment.  The firming process is a 3-layer audit process while being picked, staged, and loaded onto the trailer for delivery.
