It's October, which means two things.. the supermarkets are about to get their Xmas decks out and it's time for my yearly nag.
Tell Amazon your warehouse shutdown dates now.
I know nobody wants to think about Christmas yet, but Amazon's systems are not festive. They'll just keep sending you over POs while your team's at home in their pyjamas, three Quality Street deep, watching Die Hard and having a heated argument about whether it's a Christmas film (It is btw).
Then your confirmation rates take a hit and January kicks off with a clean up job instead of a fresh start.
It's one email. Send it, set a reminder for early December to check it landed, and go back to pretending Christmas is ages away. That's what I'll be doing until the 20th Dec.
Yippee-kiy-yay
