We know, Meghan. We're just as shook as you are. 😳

Sending you another reminder, amidst all the chaos, about our warehouse deadlines and blackout dates, listed below. Some of them hit as early as this week! 


Lastly, as you work to tie a bow on your BFCM plans, we want to encourage you to lean on your Account Manager for any inventory or logistic advice and insights. They are more than happy to jam with you! 

🤔 Recent Partner Q's

Q: Is Nice open BFCM weekend?
A: Yes! To help stay on top of holiday orders, our team will work throughout the weekend on November 25th and 26th. We're coordinating with carriers for a potential extra weekend pickup. Regardless, anticipate a significant number of orders to be shipped out on Monday, November 27th.


Q. Will Nice be running the Sunday shift through the end of the year?
A: You betcha. Implementing the Sunday shift over the summer has helped give us a leg-up on Mondays. This shift will continue processing orders through the end of the year. 


We're also hiring seasonal help to pad some of our warehouse operations. Have a neighbor, college/high-school kid, or teacher in Charleston who would like to make some extra $$ over the holidays?
 Send 'em this way! 


Q. How is Nice preparing for the expected surge in orders?

A: Our team has been proactively streamlining our warehouse and processes, ramping up staff resources, and working with carriers to be as prepared as possible for the increased volume. 


Even still, given the sheer demand that Christmas and holiday sales bring, some fulfillment delays will be unavoidable. 

Keeping us informed of your promotion schedule in advance (
by November 3rd, please!) and staying in regular communication with your Account Manager through the holidays will be a big help as we forecast demand and aim to provide the best support possible. 

Q. Why are some of my orders shipping "out of order"?

A: If products are in stock and an order is ready to ship, we typically follow a first-in, first-out fulfillment approach, giving priority to expedited services. 


However, during holiday sale periods, we often set up bulk ship stations to process orders with the same SKUs all-at-once, freeing up other stations to handle more complex, one-off orders. 
While this system speeds up overall fulfillment, it may result in some orders being fulfilled "out of order."

🚀 NICE Deadlines + Blackouts

In order to anticipate volume and help focus our team's energy during BFCM, we are implementing the following deadlines and blackout dates. Reach out to your Account Manager to work through these.


  • Promotional Calendar Deadline: November 3rd (***THIS Friday***)
  • SOW Request Deadline: November 8th (***Next Wednesday***)
  • Inbound Freight Blackout*: November 24th - November 27th
  • Outbound Freight Blackout*: November 22nd - November 28th
  • SOW Blackout*: November 24th - November 27th

*We blackout freight and SOW services during the BFCM weekend to focus all staff on order fulfillment. These services will resume in full by November 29th. 

🚛 Carrier Holiday Deadlines

During Holiday 2022, 14% of all packages were delayed by shipping carriers (with delays creeping higher for states like California, Texas, and Illinois.)

Over the years, we've learned it's best to pad carrier deadlines, and have listed our recommendations below to ensure as many packages as possible get delivered by Christmas.
