Princess Auto Sale
So I have confirmed with the local Princess Auto store that they will be changing policy to coincide with what the flyer says on the front. Sales start on Tuesdays ???
They said that no longer will someone be able to get SALE items on the Saturday before only on the START of the sale date. Infact they will be not getting merchandise for the sale till the Monday prior no exceptions due to many complaints of sale items on sale day not being available. Just a heads up for anyone who normally tries to get there on weekends prior to sale. So they are enforcing the long standing policy of sale on sale day..go figure I was able to get a few items I was interested in today, but going forward won't bother. If can't get there on sale day, oh well, guess I'll miss out, but it will mean I won't shop there as much I think, as Tuesdays for many is not feasible to get there. I also think that it will hurt there sales, but what do I know, a few complained and so they change things to accommodate them, even if it may be valid, still kinda sucks!!!! Just an FYI.......

You can call for SALE (special items) items on Tuesday morning and have them HOLD it for you for up to 5 days. So yes you could go get it on Saturday. Now I know they do this for anyone who calls in, however if this become a problem (too many calling in and none left for anyone that GOES to the store on that date) and some complain, I bet that would stop too, so that you would have to GO into the store to get the item. Right now it's never been an issue, but with this new policy, I can see that changing, but time will tell. I do understand there new initiatives, but see the OTHER side too is all....

Sounds like their purchasing agent should have to talk to the customers who can't buy the sale items because they ran out of inventory. I had a boss who did that to our purchasing agent once, didn't have a problem after that.

All the ordering is done from Winnepeg for all the stores Canada wide. The local stores have no say in the ordering. My neighbour works at our store, and says that many times they will only have a couple sale items show up.
