December in July

Amazon isn't the cheapest or the fastest anymore. They've become so big that I think they lost sight of that. There's better deals online elsewhere now.

More and more brick and mortars will now match Amazon.

And here I thought you liked dead lays. My bad.

Who doesn't? If Shes not breathing, she cant say no right?

I just looked at this "super" sale. Yawn. Lots and lots of junk organized in the worst, most time-consuming way. I belong to Prime but I'm not going to bother.

 

[oldngray]

Agreed. Most of the stuff on sale is junk people wouldn't buy otherwise.

You should see some of the houses I deluver to. People love having junk

 

[Brownslave688]

Yep I called it huge bust.



I'm sure we will see a slight uptick Friday but nothing massive.

 

[onehandsolo]

I'm sure that whatever happens I will get corn holed and management will not plan properly.

Massive belly flop for Amazon. You can't invoke Black Friday in your "More deals than Black Friday" promotion and then be surprised when your super weak sale is criticized across the nets.

I don't doubt they had more deals but the deals were on junk very few ppl but from them.

On Wednesday Amazon is having a huge anniversary sale especially for Prime members. We on the purple side predict some fairly big volume spike.

We at ups don't plan, my dispatcher knew nothing about this, says we'll cut routes as usual in the summer, this is our slowest time of the year.

Walmarts having s big sale too

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

The post office guy on my route said Amazon is doing a volume test with them tomorrow...

They tell you summer is the slowest time of the year?

 

[DOK]

Yes, people focused on vacations etc, won't pick up again until Labor Day is what we hear, which we don't believe.

March-May is usually the slowest time of the year. July isn't usually very slow.

Anyone else notice that walmart.com has a $50 unlimited shipping option on their site now? Their version of prime I guess.

That has been reduced to $35.

Prayers from the brown side.

You sure? I knew nothing about it until I saw it whilst making a purchase on Sunday and it listed it for $50.
