Shipping a Little Slow at Month End?

[lisacb77]

Most of my shows were shipping the day after they received. The one I submitted Wednesday isn't even to picking stage yet! Wouldn't be a big deal but it has to arrive here by Friday as it's gifts for a bridal shower next Sat...now, when it does ship it's only been taking 2 days to arrive (wow) so I think I should be fine.

Anyone else notice their stuff a little slower at month end?

DEFINITELY especially if there is a HUGE consultant promo like this one! I know I submitted 3 shows on the 28th alone!

Always.

And technically, the warehouse has 5 business days to get your package out. So if they get it out in 2-3, they are ahead of the game!

I always tell my guests that it takes 2-3 weeks from teh time the show is turned in, and I live 45 mins from the HO! That way they are pleasantly surprised when things arrive earlier.

It was the end of a season, the end of a month, and they have been taking a while to update the shipment status. I had a show still saying recieved and was in my living room

ONe show I submitted on the 27th has already shipped. I was lucky I guess. Of course the receipt packet that I sent to the host didn't go out until today. oops.

I'm sure they'll get caught up with everything soon.

They must have gotten slammed. I submitted a show Sunday night and it arrived this afternoon.

 

[DebbieJ]

I submitted three on Tuesday and three on Wednesday.

One of the Tuesday shows is picking today.

Gilly that makes me feel a little better! I wonder if I should call on Monday if the status hasn't updated by then? Like I said, once they ship I usually get it in 2 days so I've got some time.

If it doesn't ship in time, can I submit it as individual and have my aunt return it when it does arrive?? These are the party favors. They have to be here in time, and I was trying to save her on the shipping by sending in with a show!

I too submitted late Wed and Im still in the received status. I also sent in a replacement, supply and sample order all within 12 hours. The replacement has been shipped, everything else is received. We'll have to see.

 

[lisacb77]

It's always such a wait and see! I know before some of my orders have moved straight from received to shipped before I noticed so I'm hoping that may happen. I think as long as it ships Monday or Tuesday I'd be okay. Worst case I guess I'm reordering and having it overnighted

My show from the 27th shipped too....and it was a BIG show, over $1200!!

 

[KellyRedHead]

Its funny the shows I submitted on the 27th haven't shipped yet, (no hold on them either), but the show I submitted on the 28th has shipped.

Maybe they are waiting for something to come in and then ship?

 

[jrstephens]

I normally have had slow shipment at month end, but a show I submitted on the 27 has shippes and is suppose to deliver today.

 

[lisacb77]

Well I think I'm definitely calling Monday morning to get an update then? Any advice on what to do if it hasn't shipped? Do I reorder and return? I must have these Friday for the shower Saturday...just one order of the show but am sweating a little!

I know what you mean. I submitted a show on the 28th and it still shows received. Mine isn't a rush, but I hate waiting.

New with a questoin about shippingHI! I placed two orders on the 28th. Their status now says picking. Does that mean Fed Ex is picking them up? I know dumb question. LOL

 

[pamperedharriet]

This is not a dumb question.

HI! I placed two orders on the 28th. Their status now says picking. Does that mean Fed Ex is picking them up? I know dumb question. LOL

Picking means that the warehouse is picking the items off the shelves for your show. When it changes to Shipped that is when FedEx is notified to pick the box(es) up from PC and send them out to us.

 

[NMmommy]

OKay thank you very much. I thought about that after I made my post.

 

[lisacb77]

Yippee, checked this morning and it moved to Picking!! I hope that means it ships Monday. Even under the old 5 days with UPS that would still make here by Friday. Please keep some vibes & prayers coming for me so I can quit sweating! The last thing I want to do is let my aunt know there is a problem. It's bad enough there are a little hurt feelings as she asked me to make registry cards for the invites and then made her own
