MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

There was a large box (4x4x4 roughly) on a pallet by itself that arrived last week--labeled for OTC and I believe goes in the pallet space in OTC (for those stores that have that space). It's a wellness salesplan with a pre-built shipper for stocking stuffer items.

It finally arrived, the Friday of the week it was supposed to be set. Our VM does a really good job at labeling those big boxes, so it was super easy for me to find it where she leaves all that stuff once it's sorted. But it'd be so great if the ISM didn't arrive at the last minute! Makes for a lot of extra work to fake-set (and have it look awful, but hey, the product is on the end cap!), then real-set it again.

Agreed! I believe HQ has figured out what is causing the ISM to arrive staggered like it has been. And it *might* be getting fixed??? Time will tell.

If it's anything like the last time. They'll fix it, but it will get broken again. i.e the barcode on the ism box is a hit or miss.

I'll have faith when there's no more errors on label stripes.

Like I always say, we're so conditioned to expect things to go wrong all the time, when they go right, we don't trust it. 😆
