Easy Reconciliation
I place orders on the go. Meaning not a a computer. So I don’t have the means of entering this info on a excel sheet when I place the order.
When I get a email with shipping notification, I follow that link and I copy the tracking number and enter it into the receiving BG’s portal order management, so I know if my orders were all checked in. Currently I have 5 tracking numbers in the order management which are over a month old and not checked in. but I don’t know which items they were.
Amazon does not show tracking number on the website on orders over a month. I have to wait till amazon fixes the ordering reports to find that information.
Another issue I have now. A BG sent me a email that they received a item which they are not buying. All they gave me was a tracking number , they don’t know from whom it’s from. Amazon, walmart, Home Depot or any other vendors, I have to wait till the warehouse calms down from the holiday rush so they can tell me which item it was and it maybe to late for me to return it.
All of your issues are due to your own inadequate records, I'm afraid. If you aren't maintaining good records, BGs aren't for you.
For people that use your method of tracking it's not a question of *if* something will slip through the cracks, but how often -- whether not being paid for an item, being underpaid, not being able to determine if you're unpaid or by how much, and/or not being able to return items past deadline, etc.
