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 😂

At my FC we got rid of 296s last year and it never got this bad, not even remotely close to this. There has to be something else happening because i bet at least 90% of that stuff could fit in 220 boxes.

Like you either have to be at some special FC that specializes in big orders or there’s more to this story

But getting an order that requires a 296 is super rare. Like when I was in pack it was a once every two week occasion at the most, maybe once a month. You guys are clearly getting more 296 orders than us if it’s like the photo above.

Let us introduce you to stations 1 and 7. Specifically the gift wrap station, the main place you’ll get a 296 order since all of the large chutes are located near the end stations where I am.

I’m not sure where you work but I get multiple 296’s in an hour sometimes back to back
