@my4mainecoons that’s great, but I have a variety of reasons for not doing store pick up during BF weekend. Let me outline a few…
I’m a Kohls Cardholder and regularly get the 30% code, so $5 in Kohls cash is really worth $3.50 to me since I’d pay $3.50 for the $5 item you use KC on since you can’t use promo codes on top of it. Earning $3.50 to drive to the store and invest 30-60 minutes of my time simply isn’t a good return on my time investment when there are so many deals to run around locally or shop online for throughout that weekend. Plus the thought of lugging 12 appliances out of the store to load them in my car to unload them again is another time investment and certainly not worth $3.50 in additional ‘money’ to me. The UPS guy leaves all the boxes right at my front door, easy - peasy.
I’m not knocking you at all for doing it, if you think it was worth it for the extra KC and you didn’t mind the extra physical work on your end, great. Friday and Saturday, long after I’d ordered these appliances online back on Monday 11/20 shortly after midnight for stacking the 20% and $10/50 home codes, I was busy at Staples getting the free rebate paper to cash out rewards, additional runs to CVS, local supermarkets for gift card deals, ordering more merchandise online on great deals that kept popping up, etc. Time management becomes very important to me during the entire BF week including cyber monday. The gift card deals at the Supermarket were $20MM’s. There’s lots of traffic to fight, lots of crowds in general-everyone out at stores, parking lots, etc, so I don’t feel the need to try and get all the small deals when my time is better spent on the stuff that’s very lucrative and HAS TO BE purchased at a B&M. I Have no complaints, and will likely do it exactly the same again next year.
