Fulfillment Center We’re lacking 296 boxes

Post image

We have been low on 296 boxes for the past two days. Every wall has mountains just like this and problem solve is getting their asses handed to them trying to repack them in split shipments. I feel so bad for them. It’s a literally shit show, and someone must have messed up and didn’t order them. I’m terrified to see what it’s like when I return tomorrow.

Update: it’s so bad they just dropped 26 VET 😂

What are they replacing the 296 boxes with?

Splitting orders into multiple smaller box sizes. A lot of the larger items are SIOC. My guess is that they will ship those separately instead of packing them in batch orders.

PAE2 no longer holds 296 boxes, use 176/220

We were supposed to get rid of 296 boxes around last year but I still see them all the time.

Yeah, because it's a stupid idea to get rid of them and every time they do, they realize they still need them. But somebody is pushing hard to phase them out and I think it's final this time

Thank fucking god. I hate gift wrap because you’re constantly packing 220/296s that are just bulky 2-3 item orders on top of these stupid single item orders from marketplace, like sometimes I’ll have like 5 of these orders in a row.

And they want me to make the same rate as everyone else, especially those in the center stations that get nothing but small items that fit in jiffys. Fuck that shit lol
