you can't deny guaranteed sales. yes the items are probably going to resellers, but it is corporate policy to fufill those orders and then leadership is supposed to alert target's security email so they can look into it. Target can do a number of things to prevent resellers, but they will always find ways to game the system.
I had this problem last christmas. I think it was like 8 ipads going to this one house in NH, and a bunch of orders being delivered within a few miles around that same house (I didn't catch it at first but we looked them up on google maps.) BR TL and LOD pretty much said to send it. If we cancelled it, we would just lose the sale and it would bounce to another store. Stopping resellers in store is different than through online orders and it sucks.
And your store just made several thousand dollars by selling them all at once instead of over the course of several months. They will get replenished and guests in the store will be able to shop them again.
No... We've been ordering weekly and adhering to the supply audit guide for 750-1000 orders. I think we're probably set for the rest of the season at this point and won't do another order until Jan or Feb.
We've been ordering and nothing is showing up
Well shit, that sucks. It's supposed to be delivered through a freight company (not on the RDC trailers) so the lead time is shorter. Your ETL-LOG needs to escalate it and find out why you guys are spending thousands for supplies that aren't showing up.
If I catch my ETL LOG tomorrow, I'm gonna talk to her. I don't know if my SFS captain talked to her yet. We told my ETL HL (who used to make the ship sched.) She said she was gonna try to call and get stuff rushed to us. We actually waited like 3 months for boxes once. ETL HL had to do a rush order to get boxes that time too because the boxes didn't show up when we needed them
Whoa, what's this and where can I find it? It sounds useful
I got a little worried when we were working through our last pallet of 439's and the next order with them was running a few days later than the expected delivery date, but I think we're well stocked for the rest of the season. Stuffed a shipping container to the brim with pallets last week
There is one on the Q4 page under Flexible Fulfillment, and there should be more for different order caps on the regular ship from store page on Workbench (Workbench > Processes > Logistics > Ship from Store).
Yeah I don't know then. We've had the old machine for over two years and never had any major problems except for the belt occasionally snapping.
No one is going over their max right now. Maybe nobody has told you what the current max for your store is, but you aren't going over it.
