eMAG announced the biggest event yesterday Black Friday 2017 from Romania, with over 2 million products prepared for customers and discounts of 40 million euros. The store expects to sell, in this page, the 2 million products on November 17, when Black Friday 2017 takes place at eMAG, and this means that there will be a lot of pressure both for him and for his partners to deliver the parcels.
Last week the online store announced investments of over 10 million euros in the warehouse on the outskirts of Bucharest to ensure the delivery of 200.000 orders per day on Black Friday 2017. The delivery of such a large number of orders cannot be done without the help of partners , so that eMAG "motivated" them to make serious investments in securities and the modernization of warehouses in Bucharest and other cities in the country.
The delivery of eMAG orders for Black Friday 2017 is going to be done much faster this year than last year, the online store asking its partners to commit to this by contract. The agreement will bring us a good part of the orders much faster than we expected, they will be delivered in the first days after the event that will take place on November 17.
Delivery of eMAG Black Friday 2017 orders until November 29
eMAG says it will deliver Black Friday 2017 orders by November 29, that is, 12 days after placing the first of them, an extremely bold goal, considering what happened last year. The store will organize the discount event on November 17 this page, and all the orders that will be made should reach the customers by November 29, the couriers obliging themselves to do this.
Yes, those from eMAG have negotiated with courier companies the delivery of orders for Black Friday 2017 until November 29, 67% of them will be delivered in the first 5 days after the event. Practically, in the first 5 days after Black Friday 2017, courier companies will mainly deal with the delivery of online orders made from various stores in Romania, and only then will they deal with the delivery of other parcels.
Those from eMAG say that the investments made by them and by the courier companies should ensure the delivery of Black Friday 2017 orders until November 29 to everyone. Of course, no one knows for sure if this will happen or not, but at least we can hope that the companies have learned something from the problems of the past years and will do less this year, so that the stores have better sales.
Which courier companies deliver eMAG Black Friday 2017 orders?
Because the courier market in Romania is dominated by two big "players", the people from eMAG are obliged to work with them, so all Black Friday 2017 orders made in this page will be delivered by: Fan Courier, Urgent Cargus, Sameday and HDS. Fan Courier will take 50% of all orders registered by eMAG on Black Friday 2017, and the remaining 50% will be divided between the other couriers.
Sameday is the courier company owned by the people from eMAG, and HDS is a new element, but this should not be a problem. Problems will most likely be with Urgent Cargus, the courier company with the worst services reported by customers, so if you will receive the order(s) from them, it would be better to expect the worst and arm yourself very patiently.
There is also the alternative of picking up orders from the 15 eMAG showrooms throughout the country, the products arriving there also with courier companies, with the exception of Bucharest. Separately, at the 600 delivery points of the Romanian Post, you can also pick up parcels, the delivery cost being significantly lower, but the waiting time could be significantly longer.
Having said that, if you have any other questions about the delivery of eMAG Black Friday 2017 orders, I look forward to hearing from you.
