English term or phrase: Will Call Pick Up
Context: The Company will ship product that has been marked for “will call pick-up” if the product has not been picked up by the distributor within ten (10) business days of the scheduled autoship date, or the end of the calendar month, whichever is latest. The applicable shipping fees will be charged to the distributor. In addition, if the product is maintained by the Company after this date, the Company will assess a storage fee of $3.00 per day for each box that is not picked up
=========
According to Random House's:
will-call: an item of merchandise that is reserved for a customer, who takes possession of it when payments have been completed.

Explanation:
这个问题的难点是"Will Call"。在美国,店家常常喜欢使用这个说法。我现在一下子想不出特别合适的翻译,但是我知道它的意思。比方说,你在商店里买了一件大宗物品(比如: 一个衣柜),当时无法把它搬回家去,而且还想要省钱,决定不使用店家的送货服务。如果这家店有"Will Call"的服务,你就可以先把你的货物暂时存放在店家设在后门的提货区。然后自己去找帮手和卡车,等准备齐了后,再回到该店的提货区来提货。这里的will还是“将要”的意思,而这里的“call”主要是“回来”或“再来”的意思。我个人认为这里没有打电话的意思。只要你知道店家的地址和营业时间,就没有必要再打电话与店家联系取货时间,因为这是随到随取的服务。

我的翻译建议:
