# Gatherbatch for buyer agents Submit a kit project for US delivery using the REQUEST capability. [llms.txt](/llms.txt), [OpenAPI](/openapi.json), [MCP](/mcp). POST /_c/request with action quote, required need, specifications and separate contact.email. Incomplete specifications can begin the engagement. Preserve full supplier names or supplied identifiers on their respective product lines, per-kit contents, reported quantities, variants, packaging, date roles, destinations, permissions and unresolved issues with owners. Do not send personal recipient addresses. ## Illustrative corrected requirement ```json { "action": "quote", "need": "Coordinate 300 complete employee kits; no substitutions authorized.", "quantity": { "amount": 300, "unit": "kits" }, "geography": { "country": "US", "text": "240 home kits plus 60 kits to one Austin office" }, "specifications": { "kit_count": 300, "required_arrival": "2027-01-15", "components": [ { "name": "Notebooks", "supplier": "Synthetic supplier A", "units": 300, "per": 1, "basis": "Supplier reported, not received", "date": "2027-01-05", "role": "Estimated supplier dispatch" }, { "name": "Bottles", "supplier": "Synthetic supplier B", "units": 290, "per": 1, "basis": "Supplier reported, not received", "date": "2027-01-18", "role": "Estimated supplier dispatch" }, { "name": "Shirts", "supplier": "Synthetic supplier C", "units": 300, "per": 1, "basis": "Supplier reported, not received", "date": "2027-01-05", "role": "Estimated supplier dispatch" } ], "destinations": "240 home kits plus 60 kits to one Austin office; outer-carton count open", "client_instructions": "Complete kits; no substitutions authorized", "open_issues": [ "Gatherbatch: resolve 10-bottle shortage; quantity ceiling 290 conditional complete kits", "Gatherbatch: January 18 dispatch is after January 15 arrival; develop replacement/expediting or revised arrival options", "Distributor: approve any revised arrival or split delivery" ], "proposed_scope": "Gatherbatch will develop receiving and packout scope, investigate fulfillment and delivery feasibility, and return priced inclusions and exclusions as a nonbinding project quote by email.

January 18 dispatch is later than January 15 arrival. Notebooks and shirts each retain 300 reported units and their separate January 5 dispatch estimates; the bottle correction does not change them. A roster written as “Notebooks 300, bottles 280, shirts 300” means a bottle shortage only. Product headings such as “Bottles: 290 units” name a bottle line, not another component called units. “Bottles arrive at assembly January 18; other supplier dispatches January 5” assigns receipt to bottles and dispatch to the other lines, not two competing bottle dates. “USPS air requested for arrival January 11 2027” and a standalone “Requested January 11, 2027” retain a January 11 recipient target even when the requested route needs to change. “One notebook, one bottle and one shirt each” states one of each per kit; those contents do not need reconfirming. The prepared kit project covers receiving, packout and delivery, not assembly alone. Keep returned id, token and status_url private. Use request_status or the supplied JSON status URL for authorized reads. The branded human return view is /#request=ID&token=TOKEN with the returned private credentials; it reads that recorded version, not a verified latest revision. Ask Gatherbatch to reconcile linked scope through existing correspondence before using an earlier roster. Revisions use the ordinary envelope plus continuation: {id, token}. Send full current facts, replaced wording in source_history only. A public reference or cached copy is not authority. Failed reads stay unverified. Contact carries while retained or may be provided again. Type, maxLength and numeric bounds are enforced. Enum, pattern and format are not general rejection guarantees. Non-YYYY-MM-DD date-format strings are retained and listed in missing_specifications; the request is not called dated. Flexible timing belongs in arrival_text and timing.text. Without email a reply is unavailable. Inspect exact offers before authorized acceptance using terms_sha256; acceptance places an order. Only verified processor state establishes collection. An agent name or MCP session is not purchase authority. ## USPS-specific battery screen USPS domestic mail only. Lithium-ion cells must not exceed 20 Wh and batteries must not exceed 100 Wh, with Wh marking. A 100 Wh battery meets that energy ceiling alone; 101 Wh exceeds it. Batteries without equipment require sealed packaging, a mailpiece not exceeding 5 lb, UN3480 and specified surface markings, and surface transport except when BOTH origin AND destination are within Alaska. That specific air exception allows no more than eight cells OR two batteries, not both. California to Alaska does not qualify. A measured 4.8 or 5.0 lb passes the weight ceiling alone; 5.1 lb exceeds it. An estimated weight is not a measured pass. Neither energy nor weight establishes mailability. UN 38.3 evidence, cell ratings, model, chemistry, condition, protection, markings, packaging and route acceptance remain to verify. Retail packaging alone is insufficient; a notebook or shirt is not equipment the battery powers. Section 349.6 uses broader air-prohibition wording: verify the specific section 349.244(e) exception, current Packaging Instruction 9D and acceptance before dispatch. A note stating “Both origin and destination Alaska” reports the geography for the conditional intra-Alaska exception. “Measured packed mailpiece 5.1 lb” reports a measurement that exceeds the 5 lb ceiling; it is not a missing measurement. Gatherbatch will review documentation and alternative packaging or transport, not treat that exception as permission to exceed the weight ceiling.

Packaging and unaffected component planning can progress while exceptions are resolved. The distributor approves client decisions, proofs, sample packout and any substitution or split delivery. Contact details are kept apart from the requirement, while we correspond or do business and for 24 months after, so a later request picks up where it left off; ask us to delete them at any time.
