Business Partner Note: 

Please see below items that the Richmond Marriott will need from vendors in order to get their packages sent back to the location they need packages sent. If your shipping carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc) allows for a simple recall of the package to be re-sent, feel free to try doing so, but at this time, we will need return labels for every package sent in –

• The tracking number(s) & shipping carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc) of each of the packages sent to hotel
• Description of packages (size, weight, any special color tape, pallet, etc)
• Name of company / sender on the package (to differentiate packages)
• Return labels for each package sent (i.e: if they sent 2, we need 2 separate return labels)
• Vendor needs to schedule pick up for Thursday, January 9th or Friday, January 10th from Richmond Marriott Loading Dock and confirm what scheduled date they chose

In order to best ensure this is as seamless of a process as possible, all the above needs to be answered & completed and sent to Amy O’Donnell, Senior Event Manager, at Amy.Odonnell@whitelodging.com with the return label(s) attached as a PDF. Any unanswered items will not be processed until all information is provided accurately and any unclaimed packaged by week’s end will be subject to being discarded at hotel’s discretion.
