small shop in york potions and drinks. they don t do black friday, but they do need to conjure up more stock. the huge headache right now is not having the products we want on the shelves to sell. stock being stuck all over the place, from here in the uk where we can t get manufacturers to make what we need, to as far as stuck in a port in china somewhere, our giftware not being able to get onto boats because the boats aren t there. it s frustrating and it s sad. there are fewer deals this year, and some aren t all they re cracked up to be, but shoppers are spending. i always love a good deal. and especially on black friday, yeah. we didn t plan on spending as much money as we have, but we ve got some. we saved a lot of money. this could turn out to be the biggest black friday yet if retailers can deliver the goods. emma simpson, bbc news, newark.
the pressure is really on. it truly has been a perfect storm of shortages across the board, so we ve taken on more warehousing space, we ve got more stock than ever in our stores and we have recruited over 3200 colleagues across our business so we have got the drivers, the warehouse staff, we ve got everything we need to deliver this peak. how many playstation 55 do you have, then? never enough of the ps5s but we ve got some and we are getting more. black friday deals started even earlier this year to help spread the demand. even so, they are still processing an order every second here. this shopping bonanza is going to test many retailers to the limits but it is the ones with the deepest pockets and the biggest clout with suppliers who will likely cope the best. they sell a bit of magic at this small shop in york potions and drinks. they don t do black friday but they do need to conjure up more stock.
