The UNFI and KeHE Compliance Library collects every Fr8topia guide on distributor compliance in one place, organized by the question you actually came here with, so you do not have to dig through the blog to find the right one.
Where Do I Start if I'm New to UNFI or KeHE?
Start with the UNFI and KeHE Compliance Hub for the short version of what triggers a chargeback and how to avoid one, then read what your first UNFI or KeHE purchase order should look like before that first load ships. Run your own paperwork through the free routing guide audit while you are at it.
Which Guide Covers Chargebacks and Deductions?
What a UNFI or KeHE chargeback actually costs breaks down the real dollar figures, and how to avoid UNFI and KeHE distributor deductions covers the freight practices that prevent them. For the two distributors side by side, see where UNFI's and KeHE's compliance rules actually differ.
Which Guide Covers Appointment and Documentation Mechanics?
the real cost of a failed delivery appointment covers detention and the chargebacks that follow a missed window. For the freight side of onboarding, how CPG founders find a freight partner and how to evaluate a freight partner on rate versus compliance cover how to pick the right one.
Which Guide Covers Reefer and Cold Chain Compliance?
refrigerated LTL for UNFI and KeHE covers cold chain timing and handling requirements, and what a cold chain broker should track lays out who owns which record. If your reefer freight ships on a repeatable schedule, see the scheduled reefer lane program and spot versus committed reefer capacity for the cost comparison.
Where Do I Go for Hands-On Help?
If you want compliance managed on an ongoing basis rather than piecing it together guide by guide, see the distributor compliance retainer. Every guide in this library links back here, so bookmark this page rather than any single post.
