Although most of the readership are not from the Metro Boston area, every year we have 2 clearance events in our warehouse in Mansfield. The reason is simple. We average about 250 units on 100 deliveries a day. Between units that do not fit and other assorted misunderstandings, a certain percentage is returned, and becomes a markdown for the next clearance event.
Rather than opening a clearance center, we sell it for a loss twice a year. Hours are 10-1 and 9-11.
Last Spring, I let Yale blogger readers in on Thursday(hence the post) from 3-7....
Thanks for the post, (and for the email about the sale that just came to my inbox!) I came to the Blog to see if I could find out more details about the sale? Will it be only appliances? Or is it light fixtures also? We just fufilled all of our appliance needs from Yale on tax-free weekend (or rather, the weekend before - thanks to your warning to beat the crowds!). But now we're in search of good lighting deals!
ReplyDeleteIts just appliances, but we buy lighting in January, so we red tag products around October/November
