RFID Tags Required by Sam’s Club or Suppliers charged $2 Per Pallet
Jan 21st, 2008 by Michael Julson
Beginning Jan 30th, Walmart says that they will charge suppliers a $2 fee for every pallet shipped without an RFID tag to their Sam’s Club distribution center in Texas. According to an article in InformationWeek, Walmart still has 15,000 suppliers that have not complied with the mandate of RFID tag usage. It appears that they have selected Sam’s Club to start strong enforcement of the mandate because of it’s lower number of suppliers and stores.
