PREPARING YOUR CORE RETURNS HOW CORE WORKS: PACKAGING Core Packaging Requirements Packaging... 1 Shipping... 3 Using Con-Way...4 Fuel Tank Returns...6 When packaging cores for shipment it is recommended to do the following: Create a GF259 for each individual pallet of cores to be returned to the Core Center, per G-Letter G-99-8783-A. Brake shoe returns are excluded from this requirement. For more information, see Single GF per Pallet section of this guide. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a $250 penalty per pallet. (1) gallon of liquid, there will be a deduction of $150. Reference G Letter G-99-6002-A, Due to safety regulations within our core processing facility, do not stack freight on pallet more than 48 high. Return shipments taller than 48 cause dangerous work environments for both the dealership and inspection center and may result in a penalty of $250 per pallet. Core Packaging Process Select a quality box or container to place cores in. (corrugated cardboard boxes are preferred.) Place box on a good pallet. The pallet should be at least as large as the box you are putting the parts in. When possible, package heavier cores (i.e. clutches, steering gears, starters, or cylinder heads) in the bottom of the box. in how you pack parts that chip or break easily (i.e. fan clutches and compressors). When sending small components (i.e. injectors and small valves) packing them together in a small box or envelope to put in your larger container will help prevent loss in transit. Seal box with tape and band it to the pallet. Make sure to band all engines, transmissions and carriers to their respective pallets. NOTE: Do not place loose cores on pallet and then shrink wrap to the pallet. This could result in the core being lost or damaged. (see picture below.)
