Archived So are we having this Amazon like sale this week?

[sfslackey]

I am scheduled all this week in fulfillment for long closing shifts for this apparent big sale we are having for online orders, but have seen nothing on this forum about it. Anyone know about this, because I was blindsided with it half a week ago.

 

[Times Up]

Yes. Take a look at Target.com

 

[sfslackey]

Oh god, no. Great times for us fulfillment people ahead.

Target deal days is July 15th & 16th.

I love how they say: "Select Order Pickup, and your online order will be ready and waiting in an hour at your local Target store." We have 30 minutes to pick this stuff so why say an hour, you lying pieces of ****?

Because it makes us look better if we tell them it takes an hour, and it's ready in 30 minutes max.

I heard tales from my coworkers that they used to have an hour to pick things for OPs. I thought it but a myth, but I guess this confirms it.

I'm not sure why you assumed the order gets put in the gun or sent back to the guest instantaneously. Nothing automated is quick in Target.

 

[Anelmi]

Just checked the deals. Nothing special or amazing, honestly. Same sale prices as normal from what I can tell.

Is there something I'm missing?

Reminder that we’ll only match amazon if it’s not a prime member exclusive deal.

Right, it says “we are not matching to Amazon Prime Day or lightning deals”.

When I was filling in for OPU on breaks last year it was an hour. I don't know when it changed to 30 minutes.

Spot’s Electronics stuff on sale is a joke.

That would make sense. I last covered for OPU in September.

You can get a PlayStation classic for $20. They’re still having trouble getting rid of them I see.

Ha! Now I know why I had to pick one today. The tech TM and I were dumbfounded why one showed up as an OPU. It was a holy shit, someone is actually buying this moment.

 

[can't touch this]

I'm just really tired of seeing slobbery "news" articles in my feed about Amazon and Fulfillment Jesus, does Amazon own literally everything now or what

That was the good days, you had an hour to pick, you could see who suspended the pick, and had the option to start with the old orders first

They have them on cartwheel for 35% off for the last 2 weeks. One big tv, at the same sale price as last week & this week.
