Live sales,have you noticed

[Duffer]

Lately the big boys are having their live sales on Monday’s more and more..why do you think this is happening?

To allow shipping throughout the week of needed.

If the box everything up on a Monday after the live sale and shop it out there's a greater chance of losing more packages.

And quite possibly fed ex/ups have told them to ship Tuesday-Thursday to avoid delays from weekend back logs.

Usps/FedEx/ups are in for some trouble once things get semi back to normal. There's going to be lawsuits against all major shipping companies for taking overnight/2-day or whatever "special" shipping fees and not providing that service.

Hmmmm, never thought of that,makes sence...not a Monday fan of live sales..workday and live sales just dont mix with me

Still seems like you could do the sale on the weekend and ship within that window....I wonder if people make poorer decisions at the desk multi tasking and spend more on mondays?

I liked the idea of a Saturday looking at a sale, now on mondays it just is not going to happen..I have a somewhat local shop that will be doing one tomorrow and wont be looking to much and it’s a shame cause I can do a local pick up

I love this idea because well you guys are all at work I have mondays off so there is less competition. Maybe I can score that rainbow splice this time

Many of the sales on R2R that are on Mondays seem to fall on holidays from what I’ve seen.

Live sales have to be booked with R2R far in advance. There are so many vendors wanting to do them and with weekends booked up on the calendar far into the future, the only option is for the vendor to "settle" on a weekday for their live sale.

I guess I am not here much on Mondays Tidal Gardens is the only one I have seen on Monday.

AquaSD is having one tomorrow (free plug for them). And since Tidal Gardens became a paid sponsor in Dec. 2020, if all the slots were spoken for during the weekends in 2021, then Mondays probably looked better to them than waiting until Dec. 2021 to have a live sale. I saw a sponsor announce their upcoming live sale for Nov. 2021. Pretty far in advance!

Edit - the one tomorrow is a flash sale. Not sure what that is but seems different than a live sale.
