Default how's your store's stocking?

My CVS used to be really good with getting things in promptly. Now they haven't been receiving things, and they're out of some for weeks sometimes! It once took 3 weeks for them to get in Schick, and they are out for the 2nd week in a row, had no Thermacare for this week, not all the Aveeno... They are at just as much of a loss as I am, too. The stuff is being ordered and not sent.

I'm going to guess that the manufactorer has slowed down and its trickling down..... layoffs cause slowdowns

My store is not doing so great either. I got a raincheck last week for the Thermacare and it's still not here. Wonder if they realize the $2.69 EBS sale sticker is still up.

Unhappy Cvs

If you don't get to my local CVS early early Sunday Morning most of the good deals will be gone, I think they only get very few of the sale items if any..They never have the Viva paper towels when they are on sale.

Last year, when they had the Gillette Body washes/Shampoos that worked out to be free, I had rainchecks for that...and remember waiting about a month for that to be restocked. HTH.

Default limited stock at CVS

my store has very little of the sales/specials on sunday. most are bought at midnight that saturday night. the manager said the truck doesnt come in til the next tuesday. often they keep these items behind the counter and you have to ask.

This is a consistent issue. The biggest problem is that I have been planning nowadays. And that means cutting coupons writing down price details etc. Cut coupons are rather hard to take care of. Many a times the coupons expire before you are able to avail of the rain check. And without the Qs the Rain check are no good and in some case the Rain check also expire before the Qs are repeated.

Last week I got Raincehecks for Soy Joy and Thermacare on Sunday and I could not locate them the whole week. my Qs are all ready.
