Lord & Taylor drop ship on Dsco, run from AIMS360: the 850 in, a daily 846 inventory feed, one 856 per package and the 810 within a business day.
Lord & Taylor Drop Ship EDI
Lord & Taylor has been online only for several years, and it still buys from brands. Orders for vendor-shipped items run through Dsco, the drop ship platform, and AIMS360 connects to it natively: the order comes in, your inventory goes out every day, and the ship notice and invoice come from the same shipment record. Our EDI team runs it.
Does Lord & Taylor still do EDI with vendors? Yes, for drop ship. Lord & Taylor sends vendor orders through Dsco, and its drop ship vendor guide asks for at least one inventory update a day, shipment within 3 business days, one ASN per package within 24 hours and the invoice within one business day. AIMS360 has Lord & Taylor drop ship set up as a trading partner on Dsco and sends the 846 inventory feed automatically from your live stock.

| Owner | Regal Brands Global, which bought the Lord & Taylor name and IP from Saadia Group in late 2024. The site is run by Regal LT Online LLC. |
| How vendors connect | Drop ship orders go through the Dsco platform. Lord & Taylor's terms say some products ship directly from authorized third party vendors. |

EDI Documents
Generated from the same records that run your inventory, so nothing is retyped into Dsco.
| Transaction | What it does for Lord & Taylor |
|---|---|
| EDI 850 purchase order | The customer order arrives through Dsco and AIMS360 creates a drop ship sales order with the customer's ship-to address. |
| EDI 846 inventory | Your available quantity by UPC, sent from the same stock record your other channels use. The guide asks for at least one update a day; AIMS360 sends it on a schedule. |
| EDI 856 ship notice | One ASN per package, within 24 hours of shipping, carrying the tracking number. |
| EDI 810 invoice | Within one business day of shipping. Lord & Taylor takes the 810 or a manual upload in Dsco, never an emailed invoice. |
| EDI 997 acknowledgment | Confirms each file arrived, so a lost ASN shows up before the tracking charge does. |
Dsco also takes order acknowledgments and status updates when a retailer turns them on. We map whatever Lord & Taylor enables for your account.
Vendor Rules
The paperwork side, so the customer sees Lord & Taylor and nothing else.
| Rule | What the vendor guide says |
|---|---|
| Fill rate | At least 98% of orders filled. |
| Minimum price | Products need a retail price of at least $25 a unit. |
| Tracking | Uploaded the same day the package ships. |
| Packing slip | Only the slip approved at onboarding: customer name and address, Lord & Taylor order number, PO number, UPC and description. No prices. |
| Box and labels | Unbranded box or polybag, plain brown corrugate and plain or clear tape. Each item carries a scannable UPC label with no retail price. |
| Ship-from name | "Lord and Taylor" on the shipping label. No vendor invoices or marketing inside the box. |
| Delays | Tell the drop ship team within 24 hours of any delay. |
Set the approved slip up once during onboarding and every Lord & Taylor order prints the same way. See EDI drop ship.
Chargebacks
Most of these trace back to one thing: an inventory number that was wrong when the order came in.
| Miss | Charge in the vendor guide |
|---|---|
| Single unit order shipped outside the window | $10 per order |
| Multi unit order shipped outside the window | $5 per unit |
| Item cancelled | 10% of the retail price |
| Tracking or ASN late or wrong | $5 per unit |
Track every deduction back to the order with chargeback management.
Workflow
One loop, one stock record, no portal retyping.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Inventory goes out | AIMS360 sends the 846 at least daily from available stock, with zero for anything sold out. |
| 2. Order comes in | The 850 arrives through Dsco and becomes a drop ship sales order with the customer address. |
| 3. Cancel or allocate | Anything out of stock is cancelled in Dsco within 24 hours. Everything else is allocated from the same stock record as your other channels. |
| 4. Pick, pack, ship | Packed in a plain box with the approved slip, shipped on the Lord & Taylor UPS account within 3 business days. |
| 5. ASN and tracking | One 856 per package with tracking, the same day. |
| 6. Invoice | The 810 goes out within one business day, from the same shipment record. |
Lord & Taylor in 2026
Same name, new owner and a different business model.
Lord & Taylor has operated only online for several years, after the stores closed following the 2020 bankruptcy of its previous owner, Le Tote.
Regal bought the IP from Saadia Group in late 2024. Saadia had bought it in Le Tote's bankruptcy.
In July 2026 Lord & Taylor launched the Heritage Collection, its own label, sold on its marketplace for now, with plans to wholesale it to luxury boutiques.
The site's terms, effective July 14, 2025, say some products ship directly from authorized third party vendors. That is the drop ship program.
