Distribution Centre:CREDO Duracube Procedure

CREDO Duracube Protocol

This page will discuss when to use the CREDO Duracube to ship out temperature sensitive products (i.e. cold chain) and the preparation and packing procedure. CREDO Duracubes are a strong and robust transportation solution that is qualified to hold its temperature for 120 hours.

When to Use

• When shipping cold chain product that has a monetary value of over '$5,000' (consolidation included).
• When shipping to stores that are more than 2-day delivery on Friday (see supervisor for clarification on which ones).

Preparation and Packing Procedure

• The panels must be placed in a freezer and lay flat for a minimum of 24 hours.

• There should be no liquid in the panels before using for shipping (check by shaking the panel).

• The panels should be out of the freezer for 35 minutes before assembling them back into the case.
• Insert the panels with the CREDO Duracube logo facing inwards.
• Pack the product in a corrugated box.

• Please use packing paper ONLY to fill the empty payload space inside the case to prevent movement during transportation.

• The bottom of the case should be zip-tied closed at all times, please add 1 zip-tie to the top of the case when shipping.
• When producing a ship-to waybill always produce a return waybill with all CREDO Duracube shipments and alert Loomis/Purolator with the waybill number for tracking. Email the DC Group and have the return waybill number noted in the email.
• The waybill is applied to the outside of the case and the return waybill is placed inside for the customer to return back to uniPHARM Wholesale Drugs Ltd.
• When the case comes back, the Returns Department will peel off the old labels and put the case and the panels away by the fridge area.
• The panels will then be re-conditioned in Freezer #15 near the Fridge location.

If you have any questions please see your supervisor.
