DSV Carrier Standards and Expectations

Walmart assigns a carrier method to each order. Walmart uses an algorithm that chooses the best carrier based on the partner location and the delivery location to ensure the best possible experience for the customer. DSVs are required to ship using the assigned carrier method. Failure to comply will result in a Transportation Chargeback and may result in suspension from the DSV program.

DSVs are expected to comply with all carrier methods. If a DSV has a valid business reason to be exempt from a carrier method, the exemption request must be submitted to Walmart Transportation Team and is subject to approval. To contact the Transportation Team, open a case for Partner Support and select Orders or Shipping > Transportation/Carrier Questions > Third Party Carrier. Failure or inability to comply with all carrier methods may result in suspension or termination from the DSV program. 

DSVs are expected to manage the relationship with local carriers to ensure all orders are picked up and scanned on time. Walmart does not manage the carrier relationship on behalf of DSVs. Failure to manage the relationship with local carriers may result in suspension or termination from the DSV program. 

Carrier Pickup

Walmart does not pay for vendor pick up fees, you are responsible for paying these fees as required by the carrier. Most carriers assess pick up fees based on location, not an account number. Contact your local carrier representative to learn more about pick up fees.

Carrier Relationship Guidelines

It is your responsibility to manage the relationship with your local carrier representatives. You are an agent acting on behalf of Walmart.com and we expect you to conduct these relationships professionally and respectfully. Always provide accurate, current information about your Walmart.com DSV account to your carrier representatives and respect all carrier employees who provide support to the Walmart business. Failure to comply with the Carrier Guidelines will result in an immediate 7-day (minimum) suspension from the program. 

Carrier Escalation Process

If you are having difficulty securing enough carrier capacity (pick-up volume) from carriers, you must:

• Speak with your local carrier representative and find out what volume they can commit to picking up on a daily basis. It is your responsibility to manage the carrier relationship and we request that you follow the Carrier Relationship Guidelines outlined above.
• If you ship less than 1,000 orders per day, reduce your Warehouse Capacity to the volume your carrier can commit to picking up. Failure to decrease your capacity to reduce your late shipments will result in late shipment chargebacks and/or account suspension.
• If you ship 1,000 or more orders per day, reduce your Warehouse Capacity AND submit a ticket to Partner Support by clicking Help > Manage tickets in Supplier One. You must provide a completed DSV Carrier Escalation Form when you submit the case. Walmart will review your case and the decision to request increased carrier capacity will be made at Walmart's discretion. If carriers are unable to accommodate increased volume, Walmart will recommend reducing your Warehouse Capacity. 
• Prioritize and load all Walmart.com orders first on the equipment provided by your carrier, as escalations cannot include capacity issues due to other retailers' orders

DSV Return Centers

Vendors can now choose which Walmart Return Center to have their items shipped to when a customer returns an order. Effective immediately, vendors should choose the closest Return Center to their warehouse* from the addresses below when entering the return address on shipping labels. This change does not affect in-store returns.

If a return is received at a DSV warehouse, vendors should reject the returned shipment so the carrier can deliver it to the appropriate returns center location. If the vendor is not able to do so, then they should communicate with their DSV account manager.

*All jewelry items must be sent to the Marlow, OK, Return Center. 

Return Center Addresses

LTL/Freight Shipping

If your item meets one of the three conditions below, our system will assign an LTL/Freight carrier method to ship the order. 

• The item weight is greater than 150 lbs (including the pallet).
• The item length and girth is more than 165 inches. To calculate girth:
  • Add the measurements of the two smallest sides of the package together. Multiply the result by two. This is the girth of your package.
    • Example: 40 inches (Width) + 30 inches (Height) = 70 inches. 70 inches x 2 = 140 inches (Girth).
  • Now take the longest dimension and add this to the package girth. The result is the combined length and girth of your parcel.
    • Example: 50 inches (Length) + 140 inches (Girth) = 190 inches (Combined Length and Girth)
• The longest side is greater than 108 inches.
