I see that, how are you staying cool,these days ?

FYI, I spent Friday in Murphy/Arnold. Great wineries and wine tasting.

Great news on the warehouse finding your box! I had a tendency to panic when a box was not received in quickly, but you kinda get used to it. I think the longest it has taken for a shipment to get checked in was 7 days. But it turned out okay. FBA takes a little bit to get used to and it does have some glitches, but I still like it! It saves me so much time!

Glad Reno has picked up. IND has slowed down. My shipment was marked as delivered at 4:30AM friday and it's now sunday at midnight and it hasn't even moved to Checking In. I'm NOT happy, I wanted that shipment up for the weekend. At this rate, I don't know if it will make next weekend!

I am like you, I want week end visibility.

my reno experience, is I have to ship on wednesday, at the latest.

I know UPS is 99% overnite on delivery from where I ship. I suspect the trailers do not get opened until the warehouse folks are ready.

I also think friday is a big shipping day for the warehouse.
I would bet thats top priority.

Not sure what you mean by friday being a big shipping day for the warehouses--inbound or outbound??

All I know right now is we're going on 80 hrs and the damn shipment hasn't been marked as checked in, let alone receiving. I just opened a ticket, because weekends are considered business days at the warehouse. I know we're supposed to allow 3 days for check in but mine almost always are checked in within 24-48 hrs max. Not an iota of movement in any way on any of the 4 boxes and naturally it's a shipment with $$$$ items in it.

Frustrating.

From my sales, Friday & Mondays appear to be the busiest outbound.

Since AZ sales depend on actual shipments, I suspect that is #1 priority for a warehouse.

I understand the control aspect.

After 2 months of experience, I have a good degree of confidence.
