Sam's Club: Trouble with Wal-Mart?
We’re hearing reports from RFID Update that Sam’s Club suppliers may face RFID fines from Wal-Mart. Apparently, Sam’s Club sent some suppliers a letter dated January 7, 2008, requiring EPC RFID tags be applied to distribution center shipments by January 31, 2008, RFID Update confirmed from multiple sources.
The letter also outlines fines ranging from $2 to $3 for each non-tagged pallet. This is believed to be the first time Wal-Mart, which owns and operate Sam’s Club, has announced specific penalties for suppliers who do not follow RFID tagging guidelines. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/rfidnews-4.gif)
