Vendor Standards Manual

VSM Home

Welcome to Foot Locker, Inc.

We have upgraded our vendor standards manual Website to include instructions for our US, Canada, Eastbay, Foot Locker Europe, and Runners Point Group divisions.

This Website will provide you with the information needed to learn what we require on our shipping labels and what our packing and ticketing requirements are.

We have tried to make this Website and our manuals as helpful, complete and yet concise as possible.  If you have questions, please make use of the contacts provided in each of our manuals.  This Website reflects the policies and procedures that we believe will enable us to give our customers the products and service they deserve at an outstanding value.

Once again we thank you for your cooperation and support.

To All Vendor Partners:

We have revised our Vendor Standards Manual to expedite the movement of merchandise from our vendor partners to the sales floor. The principle elements of this program are:

  • Packing and handling requirements
  • Floor-ready requirements
  • Delivery requirements
  • Strictly monitored routing

 

In addition, we recognize the need to modify our practices whenever, either for an individual situation or for an entire program, it is in the best interest of our customers. We will always work with you when changes need to be made. Please read this manual carefully. It is critical to our continued success that merchandise arrives in our service centers and stores as planned. We expect that all of our partners will comply fully with all of the procedures outlined. All merchandise and supply shipments must conform to these requirements to avoid unnecessary handling charges.

We thank you for your continued partnership.
