Where can I learn about Covid-19 Phillips business updates?

Right here, we will continue to monitor COVID-19 and update this page as appropriate. Please check back regularly to stay up to date on the latest information. In addition, we send updates via email, so be sure to contact us and ask to be subscribed to our mailing list.
Are you still accepting orders and fulfilling deliveries?

Yes. We will continue to serve the industry as long as we can provide for the safety of our associates and the local jurisdictions support our status as an essential supply chain for food distribution. However, deliveries are drop off only. Product will be placed inside the entrance or designated delivery point without blocking means of egress. Our drivers will not pass the designated delivery point, touch any furniture or fixtures in the store, or stock store shelves.

Will quantities of products be limited when I order?

Phillips is regularly reviewing selling patterns and inventory availability across customers, items and categories. If customer purchasing patterns are significantly higher than normal, we may allocate products to ensure an equitable distribution of product for all customers.

Could there be a delay in processing my order?

At this time, all of our warehouses are operating as scheduled.  If you have any questions, please contact your Sales Representative or call our Customer Experience Department at 1.800.451.2817

Could there be a delay in my delivery?

Due to the increased volume of orders, some of our distribution centers are operating on a one day delay. If you have any questions, please contact your Sales Representative or call our Customer Experience Department at 1.800.451.2817.

What safety precautions have been implemented for deliveries?

The following precautions have been implemented:

  • All deliveries are drop off only. Product will be placed inside the entrance or designated delivery point without blocking means of egress. Our drivers will not enter the store, touch any furniture or fixtures in the store, or stock store shelves.
  • If store personnel are not available at the time of delivery (due to store hour changes or otherwise), the driver will continue on their route and return any undelivered product to the warehouse.
  • We have discontinued use of electronic signatures.
  • Our Drivers have been instructed whenever possible to maintain 6 feet of distance at all times.  This is in order to protect everyone.
  • Phillips Drivers will no longer accept checks upon deliveries. Click for details
  • Phillips Drivers will no longer accept Frequent Buyer Coupons. Click for details
Can I pay my driver with a check?

We understand the concerns surrounding Covid-19 and want to do our best to ensure everyone’s safety.  As part of some of the Social Distancing measures we have implemented, Phillips Drivers will no longer accept checks upon deliveries.

Our preferred method of payment at this time is via electronic methods.  We can accept payment via Credit Card, Check by Phone, Wire and/or ACH.  A store would contact their AR Representative to arrange an electronic payment.  There are no additional fees incurred for check by phone or credit card payments.

Saleable product will NOT be accepted for return effective 3.17.2020 until further notice. In case of incorrect delivery or damaged product, please notify our Customer Experience Team within 48 hrs to receive return authorization. During this time of increased demand we highly recommend that your orders are carefully reviewed before submission.

Are Customer Service Representatives still available by phone and email?

Yes, we are open and operating as normal. Our Customer Experience Team can be reached at 1.800.451.2817.

Are Phillips Sales Representatives still conducting in-store visits?

Until further notice all sales contacts will be done virtually.  This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both our teammates and retail partners.

Will there be changes to upcoming events?

As we continue to face federal, state and local requirements for shelter-in-place and as we have seen the travel and hospitality industries either cease or seriously restrict travel we have made the decision to cancel our National Buying Show, originally scheduled for May 27th & 28th in Lake Tahoe, NV. Our events schedule has been updated as necessary to keep our teammates, brand and retail partners safe. Event updates can be found on our Events page.
