Automotive Core Requirements
When filling out your L&M Cores invoice, please note it is mandatory to follow these requirements for cores:
For all cores, it is important that they have no corrosion & are not remanufactured parts!
The Order and Part Requirements Listed Below are the Requirements for All Orders Placed with L&M Cores
1. You will be required to provide an accurate invoice specifying the individual Hollanders being shipped with your order.
2. Any part that is received and is not the correct Hollander will be paid current buy list prices for the Hollander that we do receive, and wrong items will only be returned if arrangements are made prior to shipping and at the yard's expense. It is the yard’s responsibility to ensure that all Hollanders requested by PAC are matched up correctly, taking note of any OE number specific parts and/or any other specific “Buyer Notes” on the bid to receive promised prices listed.
3. Offering to sell 10 or more items of the same Hollander requires pre-approval from one of our buyers.
4. All orders must be packed using a standard Gaylord box or strapped onto a standard size pallet (48x48). If you need assistance locating suitable boxes, please call your PAC Representative, and we will do our best to help you locate acceptable shipping materials.
ATTENTION: Due to the decline of the current scrap market, at this time, the online department is unable to ship in non-invoiced parts. If you have an excess of unidentified cores, or other special circumstances, please contact your online representative, who will review your needs, and determine the best way to handle your situation. In the event that we receive an excess of extra parts with an order, which are identified as scrap or miscellaneous items we did not advertise on our programs, your yard will be responsible for a percentage of the freight cost for these parts.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE CHARGED A PERCENTAGE OF OUR FREIGHT COST, WHICH WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR ORDER, IF WE RECEIVE ANY OF THE PARTS LISTED THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY PURCHASING
