What Is a Dispatchment Center? #

A dispatchment center is a Kingston Express–operated facility where:

• Seller products are stored
• Orders are picked and packed
• Deliveries are dispatched to customers

📦 Only approved products may be stored in dispatchment centers.

Eligible Inventory for Dispatchment Centers #

Products must meet all of the following:

✔ Approved and live on Kingston Express
✔ Safe for storage and transport
✔ Non-perishable (unless approved)
✔ Properly packaged and labeled
✔ Consistent, predictable demand

📌 Kingston Express reserves the right to reject unsuitable inventory.

Inventory That Is NOT Allowed #

The following items are not accepted unless explicitly approved:

❌ Illegal or restricted items
❌ Hazardous materials
❌ Expired or near-expiry products
❌ Counterfeit or unverified goods
❌ Poorly packaged or damaged items
❌ Items requiring special storage (temperature, liquids, etc.)

⚠️ Rejected inventory will not be stored.

Inventory Preparation Rules (Very Important) #

Before sending inventory to a dispatchment center:

Products MUST be: #

• Clean and sell-ready
• Properly packaged (sealed, protected)
• Free of damage or defects
• Correctly matched to product listings

📦 Dispatchment centers do not repackage seller inventory.

---

Quantity Rules #

• Only approved quantities may be sent
• Over-sending inventory is not allowed
• Inventory must match what was submitted in dispatchment enrollment

📌 Unapproved quantities may be rejected.

---

Labeling Requirements (If Applicable) #

If labeling is required:

• Labels must match product listings
• SKUs or identifiers must be readable
• Each unit must be clearly identifiable

🏷️ Incorrect labeling causes delays.

---

Receiving & Verification Process #

When inventory arrives at a dispatchment center:

1. Quantity is verified
2. Condition is checked
3. Product is matched to listing
4. Dispatchment stock is activated

⏳ Inventory becomes available only after verification.

---

Dispatchment Stock Management #

Once inventory is accepted:

• Stock is tracked in real time
• Orders are fulfilled automatically
• Dispatchment stock is separate from seller-held stock

📊 Sellers must monitor dispatchment stock regularly.

---

Low Stock & Replenishment Rules #

• Sellers are responsible for replenishing stock
• Low stock alerts may be shown in dashboard
• Running out of dispatchment stock may pause fulfillment

📌 Late replenishment = missed sales.

---

Removing Inventory From Dispatchment Centers #

Sellers may request inventory removal if:

• Product is discontinued
• Dispatchment is no longer desired
• Inventory needs to be returned or reassigned

⚠️ Removal requests may require processing time.

---

By enrolling in Dispatched by Kingston Express, sellers agree to:

✔ Follow all dispatchment inventory rules

Common Inventory Mistakes to Avoid #
