New Drop Ship Compliance Program – Effective 10SEPT21
Exchange Online Drop Ship Suppliers: Since the reinstatement of the Drop Ship Compliance program in June 2021, we took an extensive look at the Rate Codes and have reduced the total number from 49 to 12. The streamlining of the Rate Codes will simplify the program and improve the clarity and understanding of compliance fees.
The updated Drop Ship Compliance program will go into effect 10 September 2021.
A copy of the new program can be found on the link below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your compliance POC or email: DSVendorCompliance@aafes.com.
We greatly appreciate your continued partnership & support!

Vendor Partner,
The Exchange is investing significant time, money, and resources toward supply chain improvements, particularly in Transportation and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). On February 3rd, the Exchange will be upgrading the WMS at the Dan Daniel Distribution Center in Newport news, VA. with the best-in-class, JDA WMS. This implementation will streamline processes, improve speed of throughput, and ultimately improve the customer experience at Exchange stores where customers purchase your products.
The Exchange expects the implementation to be a smooth transition, and safe guards have been put in place to ensure success with a planned 60 days stabilization period. In the event you have any questions or experience any issues with the delivery of orders going to the Dan Daniel Distribution Center, please contact their Customer Service office, at email DDDCCustSer2@aafes.com or call 757-888-2862.
