2) In Process: Order has been advanced to the warehouse to begin the picking, packing, and shipping process. Processing time can vary depending on the size of the order and time of year the order has been advanced for fulfillment.

I have started to receive my order, now what?
Mud Pie ships as we process. This means you may receive your order across several days. Every day Mud Pie ships product from an order, you will receive a Shipping Manifest via email (Fun fact! Mud Pie is a paperless company). The purpose of the Shipping Manifest is to best provide you tracking, product, and pricing information so you can immediately accept product upon arrival. Mud Pie suggests utilizing the Shipping Manifest to best accept FedEx/UPS Ground shipment orders.
How do I utilize the Shipping Manifest?
The subject line of the Shipping Manifest email will include the Order Number and the Purchase Order Number.
The Shipping Manifest document provides details of every carton shipped so you can best prepare and receive product upon arrival. This includes Tracking Numbers, Carton Numbers, and Carton Contents. You may receive multiple Shipping Manifests per order as Mud Pie ships as we process.
This means you may begin receiving product before the invoice posts to your account. To reference your specific prices, please utilize a copy of your order. Log in to your wholesale portal, then select MY ORDERS in your retailer dashboard. You can then view and/or print your order copy.
Example of Shipping Manifest and information to reference below:
*MSRP is 2 x the original wholesale price and is the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP). Mud Pie encourages retailers to use this as a starting point and to price products according to their specific needs.
Carton Labels can be matched to their corresponding Shipping Manifests by referencing the Tracking Number. Carton Labels also include the Purchase Order Number and PD Number.
What happens when my order has completed processing?
When the last carton leaves the Mud Pie distribution facility this triggers both the Packing List and the Invoice to be sent via email.
How do I utilize the Packing List?
The subject line of the Packing List email will include the Order Number and Invoice Number.
The Packing List is a summary of all items shipped against the Invoice. You may have already started to partially receive your order when the Packing List is emailed. Mud Pie suggests utilizing the Packing List to best accept pallet shipment orders. Example of Packing List and information to reference below:
How do I utilize the Invoice?
The subject line of the Invoice email will state Your Mud Pie Invoice.
The Invoice will reflect the Product Names, Product Numbers, and the Price charged for each item. The Invoice will also include any Freight Charges incurred on the order.
